Great bass
Stalko 26.10.2019
Sound is quite soft and metallic. Great for metal and punk-rock music. I'm happy!

Thunderbird IV
Niels T. 16.12.2013
Bought this guitar around april 2013.

My first thoughts on this Bass were very good, It looked and felt amazing, a bit heavy but comfortable enough to play.
The sound that this in combination with my Orange Crush 100bxt blasts is superb, really love the deep but still trebly bass sound. It has a nice rock and maybe even metal sound.

However after half a year the jack output connector of the bass was coming loose, and the washer that are on the tuning machines are breaking. I always handle my guitars with care and keep them in their bags safely stored away, so it really as some flaws.
I think there's a lack of quality on the used electronics and mechanics on this Bass.

But for a 250€ bass guitar i think it's a nice axe.

looks and plays great
Anonymous 17.06.2014
I really like this bass. I am a left and I set it up left handed. This works really well with this kind of bass because of the unusual body shape. I was able to set it up with very nice low action without and buzzing. Very easily adjustable bridge. Hum-buckers are great but I tend to prefer a single coil sound these days. The finish was top quality. Easily one of the best value budget basses around.

Almost as good as a Gibson
Milberry 14.06.2024
Imo, the quality of Epiphones has considerably improved over the last decade or so. They used to be much inferior to their Gibson counterparts in terms of parts quality and overall craftsmanship. Now the situation is different, and there is little to complain about Epiphones, probably except the higher price levels and lack of accessories.
Overall, I consider it a good buy. However, if on budget, look at the much more affordable Harley Benton models whose design is often "inspired" by the classics.

Smoothest sound for a value bass
Anonymous 04.07.2016
I've had my T-bird for a while now, and I must recommend it to anyone looking for smooth and round sound. The neck profile is perhaps more directed to smaller hands but nonetheless, it is a very suitable, easy, and gigable bass all around. The only "downside" one might find would be the neck joint. The classic T-bird here is a bolt-on neck where the Pro version (which isn't that much more expensive) has a neck-thru.

This, all round is a pretty damn good bass. It has the stringy punch similar to that found in a Rickenbacker as well as the round warmth found in something like a Jazz bass making it brilliantly versatile. Playing it through my Trace Elliot combo the sounds and tones achievable is enormous and I'm very, very pleased with how easy it is to get them. The Pick up dials and tone dial don't just give an all or nothing sound like you often find in Ibanez, or even fender basses; put the dial half way and you can hear the difference! Its stunning to look at, and lives up to the pictured expectations. Its also very easy to clean!!
My only complaints are that the strings that come with it are very tinny sounding ( I know strings always are when new, but these were exceptionally so) and the upper strap peg is in the daft old place, behind the neck, which will take some getting used to!
In all though, for £205 a true bargain! More than happy I bought it and would definatley recommend it.

Overall i am extremely pleased with this product. It was packaged really well and there are no signs of damage.
I got this bass guitar with the bundle which saved me a lot of money. Buying the items at my local music store would have cost a fortune.
