SlapbassSteve Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) [color=#555555]Selling my second Epiphone Thunderbird after a week...[/color] [color=#555555]It was made in the Unsung factory in Korea in 2001 according to the serial number. I bought it recently hoping to use with my covers band but it's not as versatile as I'd've liked; and while the sound has unsurprisingly suited Kings of Leon tunes well, it's a bit too heavy for Del Amitri/Rod Stewart/Stereophonics covers so I'm looking to sell.[/color] [color=#555555]Its got a fair few marks and dinks in it, and the previous owner made some 'adjustments' to the wiring apparently to make it louder/sound better- essentially now the sound from both pickups go through one volume control knob. I've had a look at fixing it myself and it'd be an easy job(basically should be wired the same as a Fender Jazz bass) but frankly I can't be bothered! Would fix for buyer if buyer willing to pay an extra tenner to cover expenses (need wire strippers and wire to do it properly, the existing wiring's working but butchered!).[/color] [color=#555555]All that aside it's a fantastic rock/metal bass with a classic tone. These things are virtually indestructible and 9/10 players wouldn't need to adjust the individual pickup volumes/tone control which this currently lacks. I should stress that although the pickups don't have individual volumes, the bass still works and it still produces that classic thunderbird growl.

[/color] [color=#555555]I confess to being a lazy, lazy man so collection only from L3 Liverpool please... sorry![/color] Edited June 25, 2012 by SlapbassSteve
