I just returned from a four hour rehearsal. It was great!
My opinion: The bass just is a real Thunderbird, big, narrow neck, on the left the oversized and angled headstock. It's just the T-bird feel. Because it's a copy it's a real neck diver, but I'm used to that. No problem. But the big headstock looks so familiar.
Sound. Great. You hear the real nosy (is that English?) but warm Gibson/mahogany sound. It growls and even the D and G are fat. Don't expect that from a P. It has enough lows, sparkly highs but also a lot of pushing mid. The bass was very well audible in the mix. Pushy but low. I'm in love!!
It doesn't sound like my 76er, but it has another body and pick up. I don't have much experience with the 60s and modern Birds, but I think it sounds more like that!
Thumbs up for Rob and BaCH. Both did a great job!
No bad things, besides the neck diving? Tuners and pots/knobs are cheap, but we knew that.
