A solid bass February 7, 2009

I acquired an Epiphone Thunderbird IV at a local guitar place. It came with a hardshell case and all for $249, which was a great price for what I got.
And what I got was a great bass, which had a good tonal range but always sounded warm and never... piercing. Sometimes, when a person is looking for a punchy bass sound they end up sounding piercing. I never had any fret buzz or problems with the hardware. This guitar looks very close to its Gibson counterpart, though they differ, mainly in the fact that the Epiphone has a bolt-on neck.
Despite having the widely considered inferior bolt-on, this bass has some great sustain. In fact, my only complaints about the insturment were that it was awkward to play while sitting down. It wasn't THAT bad, for those of you who've played a "V" sitting down, but it did take getting used to. My only "real" complaint then is, as another reviewer stated, the guitar is head-heavy and will tip down a bit if you let go of the neck momentarily. Once my neck swung down and smaked the floor! But its built tough, and there wasn't a ding or a nick.
Great looking bass, lighter than expected. January 15, 2009

This bass arrived 2.5 days after i actually ordered it. Super fast delivery and free !
I was disappointed by the fact that it is made in China. It looks great but feels like the assembly is a bit weak. The bass feels light like it has no body at all, and lots of buzzing notes (probably needs a tune-up by a pro).Other than that, when you pay 299.00, there really is nothing to complain about seeing that for an extra 50 bucks you can get a made in mexico fender which doesn't come close to this epi in sound breadth..
Pounding Bass, heavy headstock September 9, 2008

This guitar is a looker, beautiful quality finish and the sunburst body is gorgeous. Delivers pounding heavy bass, and good tone control. Be aware that the head stock is very heavy, and the guitar tends to nose dive to the floor is your don't support the neck, you might want to try wearing one at your local GC is possible. Also, this deal doesn't come with a case, and you'll need a special gig bag or case to house this special bass. I'd look for a deal that comes with at least a gig bag.
