Perfect, thank you, that's exactly what I hoped to hear. I can hear my wallet crying for help already.

Hey, sorry if this is a silly question, I'm very new to tube amps, but I commonly use a fuzz face with the gain dimed as a part of my sound on some things, and I plan to buy this amp soon because I would love the low headroom breakup for my style. Just wondering if there are any precautions or...

I was meaning 1995 or newer, I have heard magical things about the 2001s Thanks to everyone who has given answers to my three point question, it seems to me like it’s nowhere near as abhorrent as people hype it up to be, so that’s good. I’m going to my mates place with the Gibson in two days...

I’ve never tried rockmasters before… I’ll keep an eye out for them. If I go with the Gibson I would get a second hand 1995 onwards, it’s really the only time period Gibson that goes for a price I’m willing to pay on reverb… so on that topic is the three point bridge as bad as people say it is...

Yeah I was thinking that about strings, I tend to play Ernie ball cobalt flats but I can go for a good set of rounds… On the eq thing because I run ampless I use a little boss eq200 with a scoop in the mids, the teensiest bit of bass added and a moderate amount of treble added, but because my...

Wow that is thin! Maybe too thin for my clumsy hands :laugh:. I'll try my mates one and see how it goes.

Thank you very much, great community here. On the topic of necks... I would be interested to see how the neck dimensions of the Epiphone and Gibson compare to other basses, like a 70s jazz or a baseball bat neck precision.

Yeah ok some good points there, I'll make sure to give the Gibson a good go, for my style and sound the Epiphone sounds like it would pretty well cut it, so I'm mainly looking at build quality and neck feel (I like a slim neck, similar to a jazz, it's why I play a sterling ray34 over my proper...

Ok cool, thanks for the reply, I've got a mate with a Gibson which I'll ask to try out, I tend to go for a more scooped mids sound running through my little ampless pedalboard with an always on xotic bb bass preamp, so I'll try both with my normal sound and see which I prefer. Thanks for all the...

Newcastle :)

Yeah good idea, I'll make sure to try out a Gibson before pulling the trigger. That's a beautiful bass, I'll keep mods in mind.

Ok great, I do tend to go for a bit of a brighter tone, so the epi doesn't sound like too bad of an idea. Thank you for the advice :thumbsup:. Significantly cheaper than the gibby over here down under too, with the insane reverb shipping prices for the big G.

Hi everyone, I'm new to talkbass. I've been a stingray player my whole life but I'm starting to get into thunderbirds, I'm struggling to choose between an Epiphone vintage pro tbird or a second hand 1996 Gibson. I have been lucky enough to try out the Epiphone, and I really enjoyed it, I have...
