I ran across a video on YouTube and a girl was playing one of what looked like the Avalanche basses which is listed as “coming soon” on their website. Very nice looking basses.

Mine is an ‘89 and from what I’ve researched, they didn’t come with fans. I could be wrong but I’ve had no issues with mine as far as cooling

Yeah, from two years ago, he was on death’s doorstep and now he’s bowling down audiences. He’s still posting tour dates and such. I’m not doubting anything. He must be in his 60s now. I’m just hoping he’s doing well.

Has anyone heard of any news on TM? The last info I read is that he has dementia and not doing well and that was about 2 years ago. I’m posting this from my phone and did a search here, but nothing came up.

I like the bridge and electronics of the Pro over the Vintage as well as the black stain but it is worth the consideration.

Question, if I may. I got rid of an Epiphone Thunderbird Pro IV several years ago and I’m regretting it as it was a very well built bass and sounded awesome! It was black and I can’t seem to find black ones anywhere and Epi has discontinued the color. I was thinking of getting one in burst or...

For many years, I stayed away from Fenders but I think my ears and eyes have changed and I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on this one. For all you Fender guys, can you help ID this bass and give some thoughts on it? It’s priced at $350 and wondering if that would be a good price for a...

He’s a beast! The first time I heard him was at the beginning of a Chris Rock special. I thought it was an old 70’s band along the lines of Rufus and Chaka Kahn. The song was “Them Changes” and it started me searching for more of his stuff. Not disappointed st all!

I played one at the local GC just out of the box. The fit was spot on while the finish of the body around the neck pocket should’ve been caught by QC, but it was a very minor hiccup. The Tidepool blue is gorgeous with the maple neck! And at the price point, you can’t go wrong if you want a...
