Originally a bassist when starting to learn an instrument. i could'nt resist this longtime childhood dream epiphone recently made available.
A Thunderbird Vintage Pro.
Same basic construction neckthrough multiple ply as the original Gibsons, mahogany/walnut and a indian rosewood fretboard, nickel vintage style hardware, new Epiphone proBucker 760 humbuckers.
More a tribute then a accurate detailed reissue.
And i love it!
Neckheavy?
-Offcourse!
Huge?
-Yeah!
Loud?
-Forget "11".. this one goes up to 21.
Sunburst?
-..Ehm... as much as i like "the Ox" as an influence and player, i had to have the white one..
Makes it look even bigger, and everyone knows white guitars and basses play and sound better right? :hee
The flatter 12" radius makes it comfortable to play and even "slapable".
You really can slap them TB's and they deliver tonaly.
