Do it right, just do it or don't do it at all?

[JRA]

too bad for the OP that the "don't do it at all" folks are the wise ones in this thread. i feel like i'm in an alternate reality.

You can get an Epiphone Thunderbird Vintage Pro bass on ZZounds right now for 12 interest-free payments of $62.42. That's like saving up to buy one, but actually owning it the whole time you are saving.

- transport the third bass in between studio and home (not thrilled about that one)

How about a roadie?

 

[Micha84]

Is it one of the cases where you have to walk through snow with an uphill both ways?

Kind of. Mentally, I guess
Let's say a combination of lazyness, GAS and just wanting to have everything at its place and just ready to grab.

I guess a few people are taking this thread more seriously than I did, though. This is about having fun and enjoying some beautiful basses.

Buy the p now and get the bird in 6 months

Yeah. I assumed you just want permission to get a nice Thunderbird. Permission granted.

 

[Instagator]

did you get a refin for that red one? I haven't seen one of those yet. I'd actually like a 2nd 60s epi-bird to put rounds on since it sounds so good with the flats that came on it that I cant bring myself to take them off.

I refinished it with ReRanch Dakota Red Nitro.
All of the parts remain stock.

 

[Ostie]

Used Epi Tbirds are everywhere and not that expensive. Look for a nice used one.

 

[RedVee]

You want the Thunderbird, so work towards that.
In the meantime, carry that other bass in to the studio when you want to record with it.

H. Not the biggest fan if the P sound, though

GET OUT
lol

It's said everyone needs a P. I don't. You can have my P and you can give me the [Thunder]bird.

Wait... did that sound weird?

Yes.

Don't buy something that you don't actually want.

I'm kinda done saving up for stuff. If it's over a grand, I'll buy it on PayPal Credit and pay it off over 6 months. If I'm honest, I've played it a little fast and loose with the credit game. But IIRC I haven't paid a penny of interest yet to PayPal or Synchrony or whoever else.

Yeah everyone needs a P, usually 4-5 times a day or so.

The Epiphone 60s Thunderbird is worth every penny, easily the best Thunderbird built since the 60s, spanks any Bicentennial or modern Thunderbird I've owned or played. I love the so much I bought 4.

I’ll be listing a burst VP soon to help fund the red Greco I drooled over far too long. It’s a great bass; the Greco just hits all my buttons.
