beerdragon Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) I bought this off ebay last week, After a few minutes of playing at a practice session i knew it wasn't for me. Nothing wrong with the bass, its just not my cup of tea. It's in a Korean one, in really good condition plays and sounds well. come with a hard albeit tatty case, looking for £200 [url="http://img24.imageshack.us/i/p7240007.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://img10.imageshack.us/i/p7240005.jpg/"][/url] Edited July 25, 2009 by beerdragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Sorry it didn't work out BeerDragon - I now feel slightly guilty at pointing out the eBay link to you Out of interest what didn't feel right - I ask as I have often thought about whether I would like a TB (they do look so cool) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Good bass. A friend of mine has one, and once you've got used to the neck dive, and you DO after a while, it's a fantastic bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allighatt0r Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 For any potential buyers (and the seller if this is what is putting you off), if the neck dive is an issue, there is a simple and effective solution. Move the strap button from the shoulder of the body to the heel of the neck (like an SG g**tar, but actually on the neck). It sorted out my epi instantly.

robocorpse Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I had one of these for a while, and what put me off was the string spacing, which is totally different to the Gibson/Epi Thunderbirds. It plays more like a P-Bass, and the neck just felt wrong. I f.cked it off and got another Epi to replace it, result = happiness! Neck dive isn't a problem though, if you have the guts to gig one of these, you make allowances dontcha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
