I used a set of EB .50-.105 on my Thunderbird. It was actually the first set I put on. I didn't like them, they sounded dead, maybe it was just a bad set. Now I use RotoSound RS66 .45-.105. I'm looking into trying other RotoSounds though. Has anyone tried the PSD99s? They're like $50 a set here, so I'd like some info before dropping $50 for one set of strings when I could almost get 2 sets of RS66s.
Hey guys, really digging this thread. Lots of info! I got my T-Bird a month ago and have really been enjoying it. The tone is rich and just my style. Love how it doesn't look like 90% of the basses out there, and that SB look is just plain sexy. (Ex Carpenter talking here).
Put on some new Hartke Strings and really like the sound. Thick and strong...just like I love my women......
I had two questions for yall. How can I tell the production date? I got it used at a pawn shop for $175. Just curious.
And what EQ settings do you guys lean towards on these babies? I know the style and music change things, but what setting do YOU use...and why?
I'll post pictures later...

it was pretty beat up before it was bought... It will get refinished someday by Shark a fellow TB member ( he is the owner of this one, not me thanks to the good ole thing called "being outbid" ).
this is such a EPI thread derail with these non-epi pics, but you know my love for Tbirds, even more for the ones that are NOT EPI/GIB...sorry
still soooooo long to wait for my first epi thunderbird, i've got the new epi t-bird pro-v on order and im literlly counting the days!!!!!!!!!!!(may 12th)frantic
Ok got a few pics to get in....
So yeah, what EQ settings do yall use and for what reasons? I am still getting my feathers wet....hehehe

i dont get a number?
last night i played the epi bird thru a mesa amp and a mesa 4x8 cab with a drummer and a guitarist, the bass is strung with DR hi beams, and although it was just a bit too bright for me, the bass sounded really good.
hopefully when the strings go dead, ill get a more mellow tone.

Thats an awesome bass. lets pretend its mine? LOL
can we pretend this is an ebony "E"-bird???
i like an extremely bright tone,so i keep my highs and lows boosted(highs a bit more though)and i keep the mids lower.and as for the bass, i usually use the neck pickup only.i adjusted the bridge pup a few months back and it sounds like crap now.i need to do some tweeking to it..
I have one but I'm too lazy for a pic. I think it looks cool but atleast mine sounds very muddy.
I order a goth T-bird but its not comin until friday and im leaving for Philli on thursday.
can i still have a number?
