You hurt my eyes.

 

[Sylex's Bassist]

youd have to be a t-bird player to be excited about this i guess...

and i wouldnt even think about modding this, except for tuners and straplocks.

 

[Fender32]

I think that they need some better colours, those are just drab, IMHO .

 

[Demonator]

I dont know many people that use these. My friend has one and Nikki Sixx uses his sig goth one. Thats about all I know for these.

Thanks for the update on the release of the new Epi Thunderbird Pros. I had my eye out for them and was curious about the price.

Please give a review and some 1st hand pics when yours arrives.

Congrats!

Thanks for the heads up man! They sure do look good

Maybe, but those are fairly standard Gibson colors. I'm guessing the mahogany and solid black and white aren't available to differentiate the pro series from the regular.

I think the five in burst would be cool. And that's the choice MF doesn't have in stock.

As for active electronics, I used to be biased towards passive basses, but now I've learned not to assume an active bass is going to sound a certain way. I always think a passive option is a good idea, but I'd have to hear it to tell you whether it is good that this bass is active.

Whatever, I'd think this ought to be a decent seller for an Epiphone.

Hopefully MF ready does have 'em in!
We don't want to wait another three months for a hands-on TB review!
Good luck OP!
Please let us know when you get it in!

I'd also be way more interested if they were passive.

The black-stain color looks nice.But......For some reason,man,this sounds crazy,a T-bird just doesn't look right unless it's being played with a pick.I don't know.It's just,when I think T-bird,I think of someone grinding away with a pick.Looks out of place being played w/the fingers.IMHO.

Although I'm a Precision guy, let me tell as a friend: the CAPS LOCK is your enemy.

 

[J. Crawford]

Does the 5er come in anything other than natural?

 

[Darkstrike]

Does the 5er come in anything other than natural?

Trans-Black, which would be my choice out of the three.

 

[Thorsoundcore]

Does the 5er come in anything other than natural?

yeah,they come in the trans black and vintage sunburst as well,just like the IV.
