yeah, guess I'll start there. Just seems like its part of the bass' baked in sound. Have Webstrings SS Rounds on it now, I think I have some pro-steels I meant to put on it a while back, I'll slap those on. Just miss that
"P on roids" sound, I guess

The general consensus is steel rounds with the neck pup backed off slightly, picking over the bridge pup = angry piano/ classic growly tbird sound

 

[ThaCoast]

try messing with the amp EQ a little, add an overdrive/distortion pedal just to boost things and you should get that p on roids tone

What the man says...

Ya know, I also was terribly tempted with that Phelam Blue Bird. But there is a Pro IV I'm eyeballing even more. I would def prefer the blue but having a neck through I think would be/sound better and be a better(?) for me. ? We'll see, funds are tight for something like that right now but if the price is awesome...

 

[Larry V]

Is that the refurb? If so, lots of cracks near the nut.

 

[mr pablo]

We could always start another trend: How about trading T-birds?

If anyone has an Epi T-bird Pro-IV in Transparent Black and would love to trade that for a Pro-V in the same colour, I'm game...!

Shame he won't post it

This one, no way am I touching one that has a compromised neck.

 

[Larry V]

That's cool but those are different than the Classic Pro's. Just want to point that out.

 

[Klondike]

And I've never heard either one... Let alone played either one. Is the sound that much different?

 

[Klondike]

Realistically I should not be looking let alone buying one. I'm way to new at this...

 

[Larry V]

Sorry, I was inside the Home Depot. I'm not too certain how differently they sound maybe Michael can explain the difference. I do believe that the Classic Pro is a nine piece laminated neck through where the Tbird Pro is a seven piece. I also know that the Classic Pro gets Gibson pickups and I'm not too sure what the Tbird pro gets.

Typically more ply's=increased stiffness. Not sure what a preferred flea would be. Maybe I'm dazzles with the shininess

 

[Larry V]

I think the biggest difference will be the pickups. The Tbird Pro doesn't mention having Gibson pickups.

TC Marcia has now passed us. It had lost significant intensity by the time it reached us. We still got 350mm of rain and are flooded in, but all good. Hopefully the water will recede in the next day. Thanks for the kind wishes.

Glad your still around. Family intact I presume(human & Bird).

Seems like a good time to chime in...here's my cheap little beauty.

I've had my Epi T-Bird Pro IV for about two years and really like it, does not feel like a cheap bass at all, and pretty nice EMG active pickups. I have kind of a "love-not crazy about" thing with the active electronics, can be a bit much to deal with sometimes. But overall really nice for a mid-priced axe!

Hey, ProperModulation, any chance you're a Howard Stern fan?

All good, thanks, mate.

But of course!
