Thanks much! Looking over the T-bird before I took her home last night, I was honestly surprised that I was looking at a bass which only costs $300 even when new. The quality of it is incredible. I ran the numbers before I went to look at it on Guitar Dater Project, which said it could be a Korean or Chinese-built one and it turns out this one is Korean, made in 2006.

I'll have to get the wall hangers this weekend.

I uh, er, have a tent, but it's for recreational purposes only. Besides, I'd rather not have grass and pigeon poop on my new bass.


I'm amazed the T-bird is passive!

congrats Denis, I also have many good experiences with my Epi....although it's not my #1 stage monster, I use the thing quite often, despite the neck being a "smidge" wider at the nut.


and my Dillion, and my Jackson-tbirds havd 1-5/8 nut width.

Damn! Now you've gone and spilled Fender's "relic" secret.  >:(

Well, the new Epiphone Thunderbird Pro will be active but of course all Gibson and Epiphone birds are passive. Like a bass should be:)
