Amazing deep low end for blues and accoustic folkrock music!

Actually, I've got a Epiphone El Segundo AB. I wouldn't recommend it.
I have coveted a Jack Cassady bass before, but I never see one in the store to test drive it before buying.

The Thunderbird Elites are pretty good if you really must have a T-Bird.

it has been gigged, it has been used in recording sessions, has weathered the ridiculous Western PA season changes. for a dinky little hollowbody, it's a solid bass. |
