I really, really don't want to have to sell this but I'm skint at the moment. Going by the serial number this is a March 1995 made in Korea non-reverse Thunderbird 5 string. It is in amazing condition for a 16 year old bass and has obviously been well looked after. These basses were only made for a few years between 1995 and 1998 from what I've read making this one of the earlier ones. The 'C' at the start of the serial number would indicate that this was made in the Cort factory before production moved to Samick later the same year. Epiphone did the same with these as Yamaha did with the BB3000 and BB5000 series as it looks like this is a 4 string neck making it a really comfortable transition from 4 to 5 strings. String spacing at the bridge is 16mm so although it's narrower than usual its still wide enough to be very playable. There are some surface indentations on the body both front and back from use but there doesn't appear to be anything that's through to the wood. You have to look closely to see these marks and hold it up to the light. There's the tiniest of chips on the body nearest the bottom of the heel of the neck but it looks more like the laquer has chipped rather than going right through to the wood. It doesn't actually say Epiphone or Thunderbird anywhere on the bass other than on the neck plate. Only the Truss Rod cover has the big Epiphone 'E' to indicate what it is. For some reason my camera makes this look like a normal 3 tone sunburst but in reality its more of a tobacco burst. I'm looking for cash for this and don't plan to have this up for sale for long as I am very likely to change my mind. ON HOLD

Brand new and ungigged. I thought I'd get myself one of these as I'd been after one for ages but I've come to the conclusion that I'm not a distortion/overdrive kind of guy Unlike the Boss copy pedals this is from the range that are in proper metal housings so they're far more sturdy. Designed for guitar and bass it features a master volume, drive and separate treble, mid & bass EQ. It comes in its box with intructions and power supply. It has a valve in it as well for that snake oil charm. It goes from mild overdrive to heavy distortion and contains a 12AX7 valve which you could substitute for something else if you want less or more headroom prior to it distorting. This is already a fantastic overdrive pedal but there is a mod available to make it even better involving installing a couple of components It is a really good pedal but when I first started looking at these I was in a different place musically and now that I've got one and love it I cannot find a single use for it in my current bands so there's a bargain to be had here.

I would have this cab in a minute but I would need to sell my Epiphone non-reverse 5 string Thunderbird Since its boxed would you be up for it being couriered?

Bump for extra trade options above

I could also be tempted by an Epiphone Thunderbird in one of the other colours such as Pelham Blue, Metallic Blue, Metallic Red, Gloss Black or white I'm also after a Boss OC-3 and 2 Digitech Bass Synth Wahs

It's a nice bass, the set up out of the box wasn't great but it's well made , the neck has two truss rods and set up easily. This is a bargain! I was vaguely interested in the one I saw but didn't need a bass with so many strings or knobs.[/quote] As far as active 6 string basses goes, this is remarkably simple to operate. I used to fiddle with my Ibanez 6 string all during a gig but this is simple. You've just got master volume, pickup pan and active bass & treble controls. Just like 8 strings, everyone should own at least one 6 string, even if its just to say "nah, that's not for me". I've had 4

No. I've never actually been to that part of the country now you come to mention it.
