  • Guy holding the Gibson T-bird is so unbearable…like "i know the truth of all universe…and i can play best than all universe…" BTW great video!

  • I'm so excited cause I'm so close to buying one of these. I adore the design and the sound of it. I'm getting the Epiphone for the better bridge but I can't wait to get it.

  • Got a Tobacco finish Epiphone Thunderbird from a mate of mines bassist for £140 in 2013. Still have it (Im using it in two different vids on YT). The advantage of his was that he relocated the strap buttons – the back one was moved to the high point of the tail end and the one nearest the neck is through the makers plate that joins neck and body. Result is no more "nodding donkey" when letting it hang free like regular basses…

  • I own 2 epi vintage pros. Bought the black one first. I liked it so much I bought the white one! They're a HOOT to play clubs with. The nickel hardware 2 piece claw bridge design sounds better and looks cooler. They're as close as you can get without having to spend over 10 grand for a real one that never leaves your house. Buy one before they stop making them!

  • I’m surprised they didn’t mention the Epiphone bridge on these compared to that god awful 3 point on the Gibson.

  • I gigged with an ebony Gibson '76 reissue from '76 on through an Ampeg SVT & 2 SVT cabs(16x10s-later used a V4B cab 2x15s w/ 8 x10s). This bass needs an amp like the SVT, it then truly produces THUNDER, but w/ the versatility of the SVT the piano like highs are also awesome. After I added the folded horn(V4B cab) one bartender at a very large club in Illinois used to tell I wasn't too loud, but, the drink glasses were "dancing" on the bar from the low end! Bass was stolen, along with my 4001 Rickenbacker in the late '70s I now have the bolt on Epi TBird & the Epi Vintage Pro TBird in Ebony along with my other assorted basses. Both are surely giggable with the right amp & a little care. My guitarist played a red 60s Firebird(we both carried backup axes). Good playing on the video, BUT, the amp does NO justice to these excellent basses. Personally, I detest the cheap looking black plastic pups & hardware on the Gibbys of the last few decades, but that's me. The vintage models, both Gibson & Epi, are heavy in the headstock & will do nosedives, but a rearrangement of the strap buttons can help a lot. By the way, the first time I gigged with the cheap bolt on Epi TBird(Yorkville Bassmaster combo) around 2005, a nice looking young woman walked up to me at break & stated "I don't know what kind of bass you're playing, but it sure knows how to vibrate the right places!" 'Nuff said?"

  • There's nothing that sounds more amazing than a Thunderbird that has the sound that'll make you grow a bunch of hair on your chest
