They are the same. The sound like Epiphone Thunderbird that have mahogany bodies. Blackbird and Goth were the previous ones. I mean... yeah they DO sound like a Gibson in the "It's more Gibson T Bird sounding than a Fender P Bass" kind of way.. but its not like they magically have the...

I tried a set of D'Ads Nickelwound Brights on my 'Bird and for some reason the A string was always a fraction too low compared to E, D, G. For instance, if I fretted a "D" on A String, it would be on the 6th fret, not the 5th. Blew my ****ing mind. I made absolutely zero changes to the set up...

Everyone has their own beliefs and their own ideal sound and feel. Debating the matter is much like debating religion. For what we Gibson owners/players want from an instrument, we will not have it any other way. Likewise there are those of you who want to believe the fairytales called...

Take it to your trusted shop, tell them you want it set up with super low action and some Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings (the bright ass pink package). It won't be a Gibson, but at least it will be better than it is now. And like it was said... it will sell easier if you still don't like it...

FINALLY!! Someone with some sense. Wait for a used Gibson at a good price (see them down around $700 used nowadays). BEST decision ever. Its a million times more awesome than anything else.

Love that shirt. And the pants. I won't lie. And the bass*. Awesome, man. * if it wasn't a Fenderbird it would be extra awesomeeee.

Hate playing it high. Just have to get my foot up on something for the beginning solo in "For Whom The Bell Tolls." Other than that... most comfortable for me at this height....

Yeah, and they all sound so much better passive. What I meant is that the best sounding Gibsons don't have active electronics. Their passive humbuckers are awesome. Also, Epiphone =/= Gibson. Lets just be clear on that. To be fair to both parties... Epiphone was their own company making stand...

Yeah, I have no idea what this dude is talking about. No one wants to sound like a P.... heh. As for "making a unique sound work" but you not hearing it.... that sounds like a personal problem, man. The best comparison I can come up with off the top of my head right now is Kings of Leon...

As with everything in music, so much is down to personal preference. I happen to disagree strongly with just about everything you said here though. My Gibson T Bird has a sound that no other bass I have played has (when in a live mix). It's been nicknamed the Trouble Maker because with Js...

Holy crap, that Bird looks like it is twice your size! Welcome to the darkside. You've just lost all of your friends who like Fender.

Birds don't live in stables...

And I suppose that goes hand in hand with the rule that if you play a Jazz Bass, you must have gone to Jesus Camp and play music about some fairytale in the heavens and all that nonsense? C'mon....

You mean Jared Followill? hehe. Also, he uses modern T Birds (90s and actually 00s iirc). I vote T Bird all the way. So much more power and growl than a Jazz. I like the tone of Birds like none other. Plus, I like the neck a lot more. They aren't VERY "versatile", but that's why a Ford...

Damn it Mark, always one step ahead! Next time someone is around with a video camera and you are playing the "nee Nikki", play that song, put it on the youtubes, and send me the link! blendermassacre, don't think about anything else other than selling every material possession you own until...
