    Thunderbird club

    Here is one of my Epi Birds in the middle of an overhaul. That poly is some tough s#$%. Unsure of the final color/finish, but I am leaning towards airbrushing truefire flames over gloss black, or ghost skulls under a candy tangerine finish. Number Please.

    Looking for advice for my future amp

    I just bought the Acoustic B200 combo and this thing rocks! It sounds good and is plenty loud for small venues or you can add a second cab to this also. You really can't beat it for the price.

    My gear is CRAP...New Bass or Amp first?

    I think I am going to get my current bass some new strings and have it setup by a pro. I will save a bit more and pick up an Amp That I can later jam or gig with. My Bass is not unplayable, it is only 6 months old and is working out as far as technique and learning goes. I am currently taking...

    Hi from Key West, Fl

    I have been attempting to play bass for a while now and am just now able to devote some time to it and try to advance myself. I have been reading a lot of posts and learning a ton from these forums.
