Just got off the phone with MF. No price match on the Epi TBird cases since they are not identical items. The AMS case has the letter E, the MF case has Epiphone spelled out. No biggie.

Good to know, I was just going to make that call. Thanks!

You're welcome but if you bought the MF one too, a call might get you a $5 credit. I didn't mention it in my previous post but they did throw me $5 for my next order. I thanked him and kind of chuckled.

Thats BS! Call back and talk to a different salesman. I just did it last night from MF

Ha ha, that's cool man. I'm good. My price was $13 more then they gave back $5 so I paid $8 more than AMS. I can live with that for Epiphone being written on my case.

I kind of felt silly calling for the $13, I can't bring myself to call for $8.

I feel ya, but $13 is $13. Thats like a set of straplocks or some polish or something.

Here you go:

Besides, I hate it when some punk salesman screws up the good deed im trying to do

May I ask if someone plays a TBird through the MB Fusion heads? I would like to hear some thumbs up or notes of caution about the combination of the two.

Had to look up what that was. A GK? Sorry man, can't help you. I've only played it through an SVT and PF-350. Oh, and a Traynor Dynabass 800.

It sounds nice with the RB series so I'm hoping to get that with a bit more valve crisp to it. Example with an RB:

Can't think of a reason this would be a problem - I play GK exclusively, however, I use a 700RBII and have used a 1001RBII in the past, never had any trouble.

Nasty drop-tuned stuff...

Sure hope you have retained that nasty distorted sound.

I came up in the 80's, so my tone is just a little bit of tubey overdrive and some clean boost accentuated in the mids to punch through the guitar and drums. I just picked up the EHX Bass Soul Food to have a dirtier tone to punch and out with and I think it's gonna work well; we have a few songs, especially the two that were written in the past three or four weeks, that have places that'll work really well and make Beavis and Butthead AS WELL AS Keanu go "whoa!"

Cool bass-line, nice playing and the T-bird sounds perfect for that song!

 

[Haji]

Love that biting growl! Cool song.

So first show with the Goth update. I'm ordering the classic pro in white in the morning!! Damn what a great tone! All the low end I was missing and then some.

Stopped by my local GC yesterday on the way home from work.
The 2014 Gibby Vintage Sunburst Thunderbird was marked down to the $1300-1400, and the Walnut T-Bird was in the $1400-1500 range. Next to the $2600 2015 Bird, of course.

That's Guitar Center North Attleboro, Ma. if any of you are in the area.

 

[BassicDesire]

If only the 2014 models wouldn't have this ridiculous 120th Anniversary emblem but I'm sure that's been said a hundred times already^^

 

[rickwebb]

The Gibbies are nice, but I really do prefer the Epi Classics. GASsing for a White one...

 

[imdkoz]

And so it it done!! I have a white Classic Pro IV on the way Now time to start selling some stuff....

The Classic Pro-IV's are really nice basses - If only they would make them available in other colours too...
