Epiphone Thunderbird PRO-IV Electric Bass Guitar, 4 Strings, Natural Oil Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love it! Plays great, even high up on the neck near the pickups. Arrived perfectly set up...no intonation problems. Action is great, sound is great...and looks great!
Only issue is a pretty bad static hum...not sure what to do about it. Reduces when touching strings...but never completely silent.
In summary: very attractive, but constantly makes annoying noise...a description fitting of this bass as well as several women I've dated over the years.
UPDATE: The static hum is actually less bad than I originally thought. It's worse for direct-line recording...but running through a bass amp it's pretty manageable...you may just need to tweak your EQ/amp settings a bit. I still do LOVE this bass.

Epiphone EB-3 Electric Bass Guitar, 2 Pickups, Ebony Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok..been playing bass for almost 20 years, I'm not rich and although I'd love to buy a Gibson or a Fender I always have responsabilities that prevent me from buying one of those gems. That pushed me to researh and try virtually tons of "cheap" bass guitar during those 20 years and I'll be honest, several times I had to low my head and work with what I had in hand regardless of the low standards and poor quality of any given instrument. EPIPHONE changed that. I own, like thousands out there the Epi Thunderbird and it was a great surprise to play that bass, the quality, the tone and above all, the relaibility of the axe, at that moment I became an Epiphone Fan.
Now, I just recently bought the Epiphone EB-3 for a second weapon in the arsenal and man...those out there that insist on saying that this is a "cheap" chinesse or asian made instrument need to stop and try this axe. Epiphone has increased the bar on this "easy access" instrument to a point that there is nothing to envy (quality wise) from their more expensive cousins. I'm not trying to deny the fact that the quality of a Gibson or a Fender it's by far better, I'll be a moron in denial indeed. But I'll tell you, I pound my Epi bass every week on gigs and rehersals and it's awesome on every count. Looks great, feels great, plays great and it doesnt hurt my pocket.
This is in fact a great buy
OK...I've read from some guys about the "MUD" tone of this bass and things like "it won't cut thru the mix"...well I don't know what kind of amplification, eq, effects are they using...like MILLIONS out there I beef up my tone with some beautiful stomp gems out there. Please take a listen to the EB-3 over some drum loops on my pc (ok it's not a band recording and it's not live..this is just to show you the INFINITE possibilities while recording or even on live settings...I constantly annoy the guys on my band...."hey...dude...turn that bass down would ya' I want to listen to my drums!!!!"
Here is a little nothing I recorded with the Epi EB3 [...]
EPIPHONE EB3 ROCKS!!!!

Epiphone Thunderbird IV Electric Bass Guitar, 4-Strings, Reverse Body, Vintage Sunburst Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This guitar is a looker, beautiful quality finish and the sunburst body is gorgeous. Delivers pounding heavy bass, and good tone control. Be aware that the head stock is very heavy, and the guitar tends to nose dive to the floor is your don't support the neck, you might want to try wearing one at your local GC is possible. Also, this deal doesn't come with a case, and you'll need a special gig bag or case to house this special bass. I'd look for a deal that comes with at least a gig bag.
