Can Someone Help Please ?. I really like this Bass but ive heard so much bad things about it,saying it neck dives,its uncomfortable and so on.Ive looked at the Epiphone EB-0 Bass too but i dont know which would be the best as it is Cheaper but is the Thunderbird better. I would Apreciate for someones help as ive only been playing bass for about half a year. :)
@HoldsworthTV iv played a thunderbird before. i want one so bad. i didnt have any problems with it. it does neck dive but it aint a problem for me. i felt comterble with it. its awesome! :D
Mexican-made fenders are overpriced. Heck Fenders in general are overpriced. Epiphone makes dang good stuff for a lot cheaper. This bass used vs. a MIM Fender P-bass used is like $150 vs. $400. It's insane. I'll take the T-Bird over P-Bass or J-Bass any day. The Epiphone Thunderbird Pro series is probably the best budget basses on the market now. Beautiful basses w/ neck-through design and active pickups $500 brand new. Insanely good deal. Insanely good bass.
It's a good bass. Neck dive wan't a problem for me. I put the neck plate at beltbuckle level and rest my wrist over the cutout and give it loads with a pick. It has loads of thud and sounds very Fender like. The neck is very playable too. It's a bit of a one trick pony when it comes to variety of tones, one pickup sounds thick and the other sounds thicker. Try one and find out but be sure to try it on the strap to see if you like it. Wring the bastards neck!
This bass sucks, looks neat but sucks. A Squier sounds better than this thing. Get a Fender P mexican standard if you want to save some money and get a fairly good sounding instrument.
Ahh I own this bass and I hate it this bass I'm sure the pro is far better quality than this thing. its a decent bass but I think the strings are wounded too tight and the neck dives.
i'm gonna buy this bass, it's awesome. But i need a jazz sound with his middle and treebles and use fingers. Obviusly i'll try it a lot before buying, but do someone have advices? thanks
@igorin92 trust me dont buy this bass buy the thunderbird pro i own both and the pro is fucking so much nicer and not much more $ i own a white ltd edition epiphone tbird custom shop (bolt on neck) and just recieved my thunderbird pro yesterday which has a 7 piece maple walnut neck thru body design... its a beast (both good bass' but the pro is far better)
I think that slapping can be used on every basses :). even if its a bass thats most for metal. i play slapbass on my p-bass. most people think that it doesn't sound good. but i do. just sayin that, nothing against youre opinion we are all different!

@kestainbrook I totally agree. I cannot believe how nice my T-Bird Pro is for the money. It feels like a much higher-end bass.

@ox092 if the strings are wounded to tight get new ones, that are bigger

@ox092 That's not the bass's fault. Its yours for not taking care of it. Get it set up.

should i get this bass or the Squire Modiefied Vintage Jazz Bass. im mostly play rock. any suggestions? thanks!

@TheChubbler Alright, heres my opinion.
I love my T-Bird. Check out my videos. If you still havent gotten one yet.
I love the Jazz. I really do. ITs amazing.
these basses are both universal and both can handle metal and rock easily. Its up to your preference.
Only downfall, is T-bird is slightly neck heavy, and doesnt have strap mounted on the neck.
