Eastwood Stormbird Bass
« on: August 15, 2013, 11:03:57 AM »
This bass has only been mentioned once on this forum, back in 2012.

With all the discussion of T-Bird variants, I thought I'd bring this up again.  Looks pretty nice!

Has anyone played one of these yet? I've never seen the bass or guitar version of this in any stores here. I have seen a couple of their guitars locally. Seemed nice enough for the $$.

Every Eastwood I've seen has been well made. Haven't played many though and I haven't seen one of these.

 For that kind of dough I'd buy a Bach, or Epi's new Thunderbird and live with the limited upper register access.

 I almost bought a Stormbird 6-string a while back but decided not to when I found out it was poplar or basswood and maple or something like that.

I don't think the headstock is as goofy as the decal's font...but overall, that's a decent looking bass to me.  I like the non-reverse models, partly because they look like they'll balance better.
