The Epiphone Thunderbird Club

[prekabreki]

I've had a Chinese made one for almost a year now and I absolutely love it!
Couple of questions to the experts though.
My humbuckers seem to rattle around a bit too much and I was wondering what I should do. And I'm also curious about what strings my bass is currently strung with.

Taken from a webcam so sorry for the crappy quality

My T Bird does have a Gibson TRC. But, it is an Epi. Great action, good looks, and tons of growl. All in all, a keeper.

Alright! Looks like membership is picking up fast now. Nothing like an awesome bass like the T-Bird to settle GAS.

Here are some numbers...

guardian1233 #76

xMaxBASSx #77

prekabreki #78 (To stop my pickup rattle I added more cushioning to the bottom of the pickups to make them sit tight. I also used some folded cardboard wedged between pickup and rout wall. Hope that helps.)

dog1 #79

Wear your numbers proudly.

I own a epiphone thunderbird too, can I join?
First new bass I bought, it was on sale.
I didn't expect much for the money I paid for it but it rocks!

I have a question
i just got my goth bird in the mail, when i plugged it in and started playing i noticed that if i pluck the string to hard this distorted feedback kind of sound comes out.
does anyone know what it is and how to fix it?

I'd really love becoming a member of this club!
Anyone got a goth thunderbird for sale? Those are really the only one's im interested in..That or the silverburst!

I played one through the cab I just bought and it sounded HUGE! Can't get it out of my head now!!

 

[Xavier Knox]

I just got a call from my local guitar shop to inform me that my new Nikki Sixx Blackbird came in. I'll be picking it up on Friday right after I buy my new car. That's gonna be one expensive day!!

I just realized I never posted pics of my Thunderbird Goth when I got it so here they are.

Anyone got some good topics? Like maybe any bands where the bassist plays an Epi T-Bird?

Xavier Knox #82

I already got a number a few weeks ago. So number 82 is still up for grabs.

 

[Aenima]

Thanks Xavier Knox. Blah, just got me thinking you hadn't since we had not seen pics yet. Oh well.

Then I guess we will give:

Aenima #82

I just noticed that Xavier Knox, you have #77 in your signature, but your number is actually #70. Go back and look at page 16 of the thread.

 

[Sylex's Bassist]

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.

try the DR Lo Riders
