I got the black one. Wanted a white one but they don't make them anymore and those who have them up want a big premium for them. Plus I already have a white Hagstrom Swede Bass in white so now I've got the whole black and white thing going on.Between the two, I’d recommend the VP. Used ones are fairly easy to find and might save you a bit of cash. My experience with the Eppi IV is it’s a bit thin on the bottom end. The CP (now discontinued) is a great Bird if you can find one, very modern Gibson Tbird sounding, full, deep rich tone for days. The VP is going to sound much more like the very coveted 1960’s vintage Tbird and is a phenomenally great bass at its typical new or used asking prices.
Ya done good! So which flavor did you get - white, black or burst? Be sure to post a pic when it arrives, we all love to see a shiny new Tbird.

Speaking of temps and humidity. This is what 95% humidity looks like in the morning here. It's not hazy because I took the same photography class at Mike and Bob. Almost looks like fog when it's that bad. Fortunately it's not that bad all the time.

Looks like IV to me. I suspect some damage since they only posted that one photo.Is that a CP? For 150?!

I asked for more photos and he had a fit. Account is only a week old.If damaged in some way beyond repair........
Then a total pass.
But if not and is a simple fix.....
Yep, pass...I asked for more photos and he had a fit. Account is only a week old.
No. It is a bolt-on from the location of the output.Is that a CP? For 150?!
