There are basses, and there are Thunderbirds!
+1 on this... The Epi Classic Pro is already a great instrument from the beginning, and I see absolutely no point in doing any changes on it, unless something breaks down.

Just........drool......
I hope to offer me one day, with the same beautiful sunburst.
Epi's on the wall and Gibby's in the stands. View attachment 775523
That's the first time I've taken a group shot of them together in a tight frame.
Love my 'birds!
Nice herd !
This model of Epiphone Silver has the neck in maple or mahogany ?

I see them occasionally. If I do, I'll try to remember and send a PM about where it is. A local shop has them off and on.
There's one an hour and a half from me on CL.

Guess who's back? 
I love the red & i'm glad i had that liquitex spray paint, saved me from getting a big full can of red this morning. Filled up some minor dings here & there, but i'm in love with this red right now. Still gonna do a burst on it with satin black edges (the only parts of the bass that are going to be painted red is the front of the body, the inner headstock & the sides of the fretboard - done with my red acrylic paint - to add contrast between the black)
In the end, the body will be mostly black with the front red burst & some red paint binding on the front adding a division. The neck is also black but with the fretboard sides painted red & the front of the board stained with water base stain in black.
Still need to dish out a few for new black tuners & a white bone nut for the new string spacing. It's going to be great & all finished by the end of February!

What year? Sorry, couldn't resist knocking that one out of the park... it was like a beach ball coming slow right over the plate.
But seriously, good job!
I didn't get that Black 'Bird on CL. I have kind of a limit on the amount of instruments I'm "allowed" to have. I do have something else in the works today. Hopefully I can give you an update in a few hours...

Hahaha good one Larry
, it's done at the end of this upcoming month 2016 
& thanks, most of the paint job for the body will be done today, in a few weeks the neck will have a go on the work bench before it's off to paint. Good month, good year to a slow starting one

I s
I stash mine all over the place, that way there's no solid group to count and she lost track a long time ago of how many I have!

Mine are all lined up neatly on the wall and one floor stand. No hope for me.
Don't worry, I'm down to only 7ender and it's only that in body - everything else is after market.
Just hackin on ya. But I know the climate where you live and they have invented a thing called a "space heater".
I have mine all in a closet. We added on a room sometime back and I built in a big closet with lots of room for basses. Of course the new Bird isn't in this pic but anyway I think I have 8 now. Idk may be a few back behind the clothes!Mine are all lined up neatly on the wall and one floor stand. No hope for me.
Nice pissing match going in the Jazz Bass Club. Again
I love the Tbird club
