The Epiphone Classic and Vintage Pro Tbirds are great basses. I had a hankering for a Tbird and heard great things about the Classic Pro's when they first came out, watched a few vids on YouTube and, GAS being GAS, had to have one. I headed to a shop to try one out and fell in love immediately, neck profile was lovely, it looked the business and sounded HUGE. Just out of curiosity, I picked up the Gibson model out at the time and the Epiphone was miles ahead - fit , finish, sound, feel were all better on the Epi. The only thing that felt better on the full fat Gibson was the tuners, but you don't play those and the Epi ones weren't bad at all (just the Gibson ones felt smoother, but the Epi ones always held tune).
I sold it a few years ago and it's the only bass I miss.
