The New Epiphone Thunderbird Pro V

That new t-bird is impressive ... but I will play my Fenderbird instead.

teaser pictures?

well your right like yours these 2 non-EPI/GIBS ARE ALREADY PAID FOR :D and the one on the left says "professional", not just "pro"

Have to throw this in:

I just bought a used Epi Tbird... I always wanted one. All the garbage you hear about them being too muddy is not true. I love the way this thing sounds. I haven't taken out my Jbass or KR5 since I got it. I am really happy with it. My only regret is that I should have waited after seeing those pics...

Oh the GAS never ends....
 
That just hot!!!
now that you made me think about it, I want my burgundy flame EPI-PRO to have a pointy head...


back to the topic, it is cool, and very smart on their part to bring it off the drawing table, and see what happens...like anything new it will sell tons of them, and hopefully will bring around a revolution of new mass produced relatively inexpensive priced line of good quality units, but only time, and actual users liking them will tell....
 
Dammit Amimbari...that Jackson just keeps looking better every time you post it :D
probably because there's no fingerprints anymore- I rarely take it out of the case...too many other basses.

besides,

isn't that what the FenderBoys always say....the older the better?

the Elite was the Trial, not enough sales = discontinued, this NEW multiwood Pro should be a much greater seller.

Man, those are schweet! :bassist:


Oh my! Thank you for this post!

They're all looking good, but I'm really digging the Translucent Black. I sure do hope they don't retail for too much though... My current budget is just over $700 :hmm:

I've been wanting a new bass lately. FYI, that's why I joined the forum...to seek help. Mhm, I'm the new kid. :hiding:

Lol but yeah, if they're anything under $800, a translucent black 4-string will be mine! :bassist:
 
yeah i am all about the burst one, however i would go for a clear pickguard sicne I am anal and the "holes" would bug me....

just when i convinced myself that i didn't "need" another guitar.... it never ends
yea, "knowing" the holes are there and not having them there in the first place is a big difference...ok...clear it is then..

I always say "not another one", so this week, another "2" arrived at my door.
