Title: NBD
Post by: patman on July 09, 2018, 05:30:34 AM
Walked into a bricks and mortar store near me to buy a single guitar string...there was an EPI Pro T-Bird that had a card that said "sale" on it. I asked how much they wanted, and ended up walking out with it for a really good price. Owner said they had a major disagreement with Gibson/Epiphone, and severed the relationship. Turned out to be an expensive single guitar string.

Bass is very well constructed, plays great, and has a pretty much flawless finish.

Can anyone tell me what the controls do exactly? There was no manual.

As I look on the web, everyone is out of the EPI Hard T-Bird Case...

I had to wait 3+ months for my Epi T-Bird Vintage Pro case to arrive.

Got the case...

Set the bass up. It set up very nicely...used Labella low tension flats.

I deepened the nut slots...it has an aluminum nut underneath the black paint (nut is black painted aluminum)...very sweet playing bass.

Will play it tonight

master volume, blend, bass +/-, treble +/-

mine's not available to check at this time but if you play around with the controls, you'll figure which is which.
