For Trade Epi Silverburst T-Bird/T-Bird IV Pro

Sign in to disble this ad
I have an Epiphone Thunderbird IV in Silverburst that I really love the look of but can't play very well. The ergonomics of the bolt on neck and the neck dive just don't work for me and I couldn't bring myself to drill holes in it to move the strap button. There is not a mark on the bass. I have a cheap hard shell case for it. I also have an Epiphone Thunderbird Pro IV that surprisingly plays well for me. I love the neck through! I got it for a good price but unfortunately it sustained some cosmetic shipping damage that I was compensated for. There is a gouge in the back of the body that is obvious but there is also a hairline crack in the neck up by the nut. You have to hold it under direct light to see it and I don't know if the damage was sustained in shipping or if the original seller slipped one by me. With this damage and the compensation I received I pretty much resigned myself to being "married" to this one but I recently got my first 5-string and I really dig it so I thought I would float the idea of trading these two basses for an Epiphone Pro V preferably in Sunburst and with no low B sound issues like I have heard about. I have included pictures of all of the above. If nobody wants to take a chance on the Pro IV with damage I totally understand. I can email more pics if there is any interest.

Other things I have interest in are:

Ibanez SRX695DX
Schecter Stiletto Extreme 5
Spector Classic Legend 5
Ibanez SR305M maple board

This was my first time posting in the classifieds and I didn't realize I could only post two pics and for some reason the two I selected didn't load. PM me your email address and I will send them directly to you.

Are you looking to sell them or just trade for a Pro V? If you're selling, what are you looking to get for each?

I am no luthier but it looks to me like the crack in the Pro IV is just in the gloss finish and not actually in the wood itself. I think this is why the light has to be at the right angle to see it. I tried to show it in the above picture but it is tough to capture.

I have decided to sell the silverburst outright because I found a 5 string I want. Somebody make me a reasonable offer.
