The New Epiphone Thunderbird Pro V

[Thorsoundcore]

god,my jaw dropped to the floor when i saw these things.i want to try one so bad..and to think i just got my regular epi T almost exactly a year ago..and im tempted to save up for this already.wow.thank god they got them in 5 strings now though,so now everyone can get one

yep, when I migrate to another bird, it'll be a 5stringer EPIpro, since I don't have one, and just add it to the collection.

i dont know about you guys but im psyched about these things.i cant stop thinking about them.i cant wait till they come out.

I live in Nashville and am an Epiphone Endorser. I just visited the plant and they say it will be another couple of months before they receive them from overseas. That means about 3-4 months before you will see them in the stores or online. BUMMER.

Except for the probable back-order; right now (STILL) the silverburst Epi Birds are back-ordered in some places..... I cant wait to play one of these though.

i didnt read to many of the previous posts but here in germany ive seen the Thunderbird Pro (5 String) for 479€ which is about...540$? if thats the final prize one of em is gonna be mine.

You think the Pro V would be good as a first five string?
right now i have a ltd viper-104 that i love

Just got off the phone with my nearest epi dealer, and the 4 string is about $500 and the 5 string is About $600.

Funny you should re-post this today, I was by Mike's shop to drop off a chrome bridge cover and a hand rest for my bass, it's due back from the painter in about 10-12 days.
Meantime here's the black prototype just before it left the shop.
Beautiful bass!

As cool as they look, I'm gonna have to play one of these epibird pro basses before I get one...
I love my alder+bolt-on tone, so the standard epibird has been the only one that has worked for me. Love it to death. <3

so they update an american classic and ruin it in the process by making it active. great.

they really need to stop this. or at least give the option of picking electronics at the factory. make 2 models even like they did with the epiphone prophecy guitars.

what a shame.. a 5 string t-bird sounds really cool.

An Epiphone - an American classic?

Although it's a beautiful bass indeed /btw, thanks for a picture!/, I'm lusting for a single-pickup version

 

[BDL1991]

apparently the 4 strings are goin for £349 and the 5 strings £399 over here seems to be a constant price online with £419 being the highest for the 5 string..good prices

 

[John Bassist]

So I'll keep an eye on this one... Gotta say it's the first "birdserie" that addict me!

 

[Nerevar]

This is not cool, I just bought a normal Epi T-Bird not to long ago, now THIS?!?

I want the Translucent Black one, badly.

 

[Barkless Dog]

The new Pro version will be a nice platform for upgrades.

You can never have too many Thunderbirds

For the money these look cool, since I don't own a Fiver........there could be one of those out there with my name on it.
