Every band had to start somewhere... [/quote] It appears that the OP is in the USA where 'Bar Bands' take things a bit more serious than us Brits in the local boozer on a Friday night playing for beer money!

I used the new Thunderbird bass last night in rehearsal. The neck was a lot slimmer then the precision necks that I am used to, It will take some getting used to, but the sound was immense. The guys commented all what a great sound this bass guitar had. This one has the American made pickup. I was a bit worried because I had heard that the these guitars suffered from neck dive but this was not the case. The sound suited a l lot of the heavier songs that we do much more than the fender precision bass, but i still find it a bit uncomfortable the body shape is a lot different but I guess I will get used to it.

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1415750462' post='2603505'] Formed my current band -mostly- through Joinmyband. Had a lot of timewasters and complete morons on there but eventually it's paid off and found a group of folk I gel with musically and socially. [/quote] Same here. Got together two years ago, and apart from the original drummer we are still going strong.

James Jamersons' P Bass was considered unplayable apparently. It had a very high action and old strings and was never set up properly as he liked it like that!

I bought an Epiphone Thunderbird classic IV from them last week via mail order. On arrival here in London, I expected to do a bit of work on it to set it up and make it playable, but it played great straight out of the box!

I think the OP is in the USA so may not be able to buy stuff from the uk without a lot of import tax etc. Edit. No he is in the uk. That will teach me to look properly!

A nut can be difficult for a newbie. I would take it to a guitar tech if I were you.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1415210285' post='2597963'] Google is your friend...[/quote] Blimey! He's at it again!!

Ah! Never thought about Googling it. The Rok sak looks interesting.

My new Epiphone Thunderbird didnt come with a case or bag and my trusty old Fender gig bag wont accomodate it. Are there odd shaped gig bags out there??

[quote name='DanR' timestamp='1415189959' post='2597591'] I'm new to Limelight. Am I right in saying they're new basses, made to look old?[/quote] Yes

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1415090104' post='2596454'] Horrible sh*t brown colour. No weight given. [/quote] Its walnut apparently. Why? dont you like Fenders?.......Oh!

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1415097948' post='2596564'] Seems he has upped and left then maybe try and get your cash back and go elsewhere me thinks [/quote] Blimey! He was practically worshipped as a God on these pages. Hope he is still on the mend!

Part exed it for an American Standard P Bass. Everyone liked your one though, even the missus loved the colour!

Well, I had another go at getting my £9.99 sunday delivery charge refunded and Guitar Guitar have agreed. I wonder if they read this forum? Still, Every cloud eh?

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1414930352' post='2594723'] Ive got 2 fender P basses, whats the point in that ? [/quote] Did you not get on with the Stingray then?

This one runs out tonight no bidders as of yet.

[quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1414993896' post='2595356'] Don't know why but DPD are always the slowest option here, they seem to hand it off to the local post office it always seems to sit in limbo a day or 2 longer. Things have always arrived in good condition, but often had to wait 10 days from the UK. I'd be asking for a refund on the extra delivery cost. [/quote] I have been on the phone to Guitar Giutar and they are not interested. PlusI am out of pocket and bassless until I can get it redelivered!

Well I could have got free delivery for tomorrow Monday but i knew there would be nobody at home, so I paid extra for Sunday delivery.

I paid £9.99 to have a delivery today (Sunday) and have checked the tracking number and they reckon they attempted to deliver it about 3pm but there was no answer and they left a card. Well I have been in all day and there was no knock on the door or card! Fume!!
