Only got pics of the Epiphone in action, so here it it:

I've always thought Thunderbirds were the coolest looking bass out there, but in 40 plus years of playing bass, had never owned one until I bought 2012 Gibson a few weeks ago. Absolutely love it, haven't touched my Fenders since buying this! I bought a used Epiphone classic pro about two weeks...

I gigged my Super Compact last night, powered with an Ashdown Rootmaster 800, it sounded great, punchy and clear, plenty of volume for the venue we were in, and the volume control was at about 25%. I was using my Epiphone classic pro iv Thunderbird which is very similar to my 2012 Gibson T Bird...

I've only just bought the ABM 600, the settings are what I was using while experimenting, I tweak the controls to suit the bass, the venue and the style of music I am playing. Most of the time I have to cut the low end, boost the middle and a little on the top. I usually play a Precision or a...

Sometime in the distant past I must have posted about my Super Twin (serial # S001 - the very first production ST) which I have been using for the last 4 years. It still looks like a new cab, despite many gigs. I have now added a Super Compact to the mix, giving me the choice of 1 x 12, 2 x 12...

I rode motorcycles on the road for 40 years accident free, until I was knocked off by a car 18 months ago. Messed up my right hand & wrist pretty bad (also my foot, but don't use that for bass playing!). Had to change from finger style to pick due to damaged tendons, was able to play only a few...

Hi, how much for the bridge, is it complete and what condition is it in?

I love Phil's playing, probably can't see it in my little avatar, but there's a stealie sticker on my JCB :) Not so many people seem to know what that is over here (UK).

I have had a gold top JCB for a few weeks now, strung it with Chromes, and it has become my favourite bass, I've been taking this to gigs instead of my 'old faithful' Fender Ps. Certainly turns a few heads when I pull ot out of the case, and then does it again when they hear what it can do. I am...

The ACS pro 17 filters are claimed to have a flat attenuation, and my experience with them confirms that.

I have ACS Pro 17s, allow me to hear our loud 6 piece (now a loud 5 piece) band clearly on stage. I had mine made at the ACS HQ in Banbury, Oxfordshire. Nicest bunch of people you could meet.

I have Super Twin #001, played a dozen or so gigs with it since I collected it from Alex last September. Wonderful cab, more than lives up to expectations. I play Fender Jazz & Precision basses though it using an Ashdown ABM 500 evo II, not been able to go above 1/3 volume on the amp with this...

Thanks for the Facebook like, Mike. Recording with Jenny on May 10th, should have new tracks linked from the FB page a day or two after that. Dave

Yes, Janita Jenny Haan, same person. Our FB page is https://www.facebook.com/TheWirebirds.UK but we won't have any pics or music with Jenny on until our next day in the studio in a month's time. There are some audience videos on our page. Dave
