jonsparrow91 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) I bought this not two weeks ago but, having bought another bass that I can't really afford, this has to go! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/164820-epi-thunderbird-sold/page__p__1501661__hl__thunderbird__fromsearch__1#entry1501661"]Here's the original thread.[/url] This is a very underrated bass, one of the reasons I went for it was because I wanted to see what the fuss (good and bad) was about. On the (much heavier) plus side: It is very comfortable to play, the pickups are very dark but not muddy, it can do a great variety of tones (this is not just a "rock" bass, it can to funk, RnB, slap, etc; it just happens to be exceptionally good at rock!) And, it being Korean made, the construction is very solid; I would happily gig with this bass. On the downside, the obvious hunderbird flaws, neck dive and poor upper register access. Bah, who wants to play those frets anyway? Since buying it I've changed the strap button position to help with the infamous neck dive (which is now a minimum so long as you have a decent strap, with cheap nylon straps there is still some droopage) so it is now on the heel of the bass; this means that there are 2 open screw holes, one where the strap button was and one where I started drilling into the neck and then thought better of it before any damage was done. Both are easily covered by a bit of wood filler or PVA glue and a black marker. I'm asking £100 for this, exactly what I paid. £100 collected from my door, £105 delivered anywhere in zones 1 to 4 in London and £120 delivered anywhere in the UK. If you want it delivered anywhere else then PM me. I have no camera and only a phone and cheap webcam at my disposal so pictures won't do it justice (though I'll happily try my best on request), I would describe the condition of this bass as "acceptable" to "good". No major problems but clear signs of use.

jonsparrow91 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 Bank transfer if I'm shipping it or cash if I deliver or you collect in person in London.
guitaristheathen Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Is this still available? I'm very interested and can buy tonight. Would need delivery outside on London though!
