Epiphone Rex Brown Thunderbird
uwe:
That it’s not active baffles me, wasn’t that the whole point of the Gibbie Rex Brown Sig? I thought that bass an interesting concept.
The non-matching hardware is probably on purpose, perhaps Rex likes it that way. Can’t fathom any other reason.
Ken:
Curious if Rex had anything to do with the Epiphone version. Probably sounds nothing like his Gibson model.
Alanko:
Does Rex have the clout to sell that many basses for Epiphone?
The chrome pickups and gold rings really just looks like they couldn't be arsed commissioning gold pickups. It looks like a home-upgraded Vintage Pro. Reasonably cool, but you could buy a €700 bass and €200 bridge and arrive at the same outcome.
Ken:
I bet his Gibson model is selling better than Gene's. I wonder how Gene feels about that.
