This bass comes with an original deluxe hardshell case. All the electronics are working normally, and the truss rod functions in both direction. There are a few visible marks and scratches on the top of the headstock. The neck and fretboard are in great condition, and there is a few very minor scratches on the bottom of the neck. Slight dullness in the finish throughout the bass. There are a few nicks and scratches on the sides, and there are a few visible scratches and some nicks on the back.
There are a number of nicks and some pick scratches on the top of the body. This guitar is used and it is in very good condition. The infamous body shape oozes a rebellious attitude, and this bass wants to be played, hard. neck dive) we didn’t find this to be a particular problem with both sitting and standing. Some people say the Thunderbird is not well balanced ergonomically (i.e. The pickups have a high output and it is loaded with ceramic magnet which gives the signature thunderbird low end. For electronics, it is equipped with two T-Bird humbucker pickups in the neck and bridge position. It comes with a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard and a mahogany/walnut laminate neck, which the rosewood gives a rich and rounded tone and the neck has a rounded profile which provides fast and silky playing feel. It features a mahogany body construction, which has a punchy and warm tone. The Thunderbird has an offset body and neck-through-body design, which was first seen in 1963. The most famous bass model that Gibson produces is the Thunderbird, which is what we have in stock here at Bella Romeo. I can't stress any more that just because it looks similar to a Gibson Thunderbird, it isn't a Gibson Thunderbird, even if you put a Gibson truss-rod cover on it.Apart from legendary guitar models such as the Les Paul and SG, Gibson is also active in the bass category. In every personal review I've seen, it seems that the glowing reports are more down to people being of the belief that they're getting a lot of bass for less £££, rather than the fact the Epiphone is simply a transitional model en-route to a Gibson or because they couldn't afford a Gibson. I would just say in closing, EVERYONE please stop comparing Epiphones with Gibsons.
It felt heavier than any of my Thunderbirds were. I'll admit the chamfer around the body was a bit rounder and more comfortable to that of the regular IVs, so a little more easier on the right forearm. While the bridge looks way more functional that the four string three-pointer, it looks pretty horrific it's a huge slab of chromed brass/steel and I always felt they could have done something better/sleeker. Pickups are just standard 2000s TB ceramic HB soaps, no different from the standard IVs. You lose the raised centre strip on the front of the body and the pickups, knobbage and bridge are simply loaded onto a slab body. Couldn't tell you what the wood was (probably mahogany) or what the neck contruction is/was. Neck profile was somewhat chunkier than a regular IV (it's like comparing a wider Precision neck with a four string Jazz neck). (My Lull has a reversed 1&4 configuration B on top and E-G on the bottom Gibson could have gone with the Reverse headstock and done a 4&1, which may have looked better.) You lose the traditional headstock design (with the raised frontage) and IMO the extra machine just looks odd, that said I always felt the Thunderbird wouldn't translate into a five string so I don't know what they could have done to improve the clumsiness of the (Studio 5) design. Personally, I don't really like them visually. Bare in mind this is a more of a no-frills Studio model rather than a five string IV. I've never owned one, but I've played a couple quite extensively and I've owned about a dozen regular IVs.
