Paul S Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Decided to move this one on - I bought it from Liam (bassix) in July this year after a bout of uncontrollable T-Bird GAS but, when push comes to shove, it isn't really me. Still, I didn't know that at the time. Not sure if I need to take any more pics as Liam did a pretty comprehensive job on it here (hope you don't mind me recycling this, old chap) : [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=76465&st=0"]Previous Basschat thread[/url] Lovely looking guitar - the transparent black finish really is a deep rich colour with a hint of grain showing through - not like the wishy-washy colour seen in the stock pics on the [url="http://www.epiphone.com/news.asp?NewsID=1412"]Epiphone website[/url] - where you will find all the spec etc. But, basically, it is a skinny (set) neck, with active electronics and looks about as rock n roll as a bass can. From what I have read it is not much like a Gibson T-Bird, very much it's own thing. I haven't done anything to it since owning it - gigged it once, rehearsed with it maybe half a dozen times. The neck is divine - skinny and fast. A decent variety of sounds available too - I guess I feel a bit too self-conscious and posy with it strapped on, maybe someone 30years younger and 10" slimmer around the middle would do it justice. It comes with a good quality fitted Epiphone hard case - itself worth a few bob. I paid £250 for it, would like £230 back. Collected from SE Essex, I can bring it along to the SE Bass Bash if anyone is interested, postage would be fairly dear as, with the case, it is pretty heavy - if I said £22 for Parcelforce 48 that wouldn't be far off the mark. I would consider some trades - no instruments but here is a list of stuff I would consider with cash my way: - Zoom H2, H4 or Q3 - John East P-Retro - a hot P-type pickup or two. - Hipshot GB7 in chrome - Hipshot BT10 in chrome (assuming that is the one for a Jaguar bass) Ta.

Paul S Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 And again. Not a lot of money, this, and a lot of bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 These are around £340 new, case is £60, so £400 worth of gear here in excellent condition for just a whisker over half price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Some pics I took today: As has been discussed on here previously 'They' say the Epiphone fitted case isn't big enough. 'They' are wrong Still got the key, too. [attachment=65189:t_bird1.jpg] [attachment=65190:t_bird2.jpg] [attachment=65191:t_bird3.jpg] [attachment=65192:t_bird4.jpg][attachment=65193:t_bird5.jpg] [attachment=65194:t_bird6.jpg] [attachment=65195:t_bird7.jpg] [attachment=65196:t_bird8.jpg] Here is where the previous owner moved the front strap button to alleviate the neck dive thing. Just a neat hole left from it's old position. Currently fitted with Schaller-type strap lock button - originals will be put in the case. [attachment=65197:t_bird9.jpg] There's one on eBay at the moment that has about an hour to go as I type, soft case and already up to £255. Last one with a fitted case went for £270-odd. This is a bargain, guys!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
