What's the opinion about these (Epi T-bird Pro, older model)

Like this, with all the different wood laminations:

They had one at the local used store. It played nice, it felt pretty good (unlike the no less than 5 "Nikki Sixx Blackbird"s they had hanging by it) Not that I need any more basses, but the more I hang out here the more I wanna get rid of all my crappy basses and just have ONE decent one. You know, "is it better to have one, $2000 instrument, or 20, $100 ones?"
And, no, I can't go trading mine there, I'd give them all 4 of my basses and still have to pay 75% of what they're asking. Or I need to learn how to negotiate better...

you will get screwed trading anything to a music store. even a 'good' bass. don't even bother.

They're available online for $399 delivered from MF.  I have one, IMO it's the best value new "Thunderbird" currently available.  Has a real bridge and a brass nut.

Has a real bridge

If I was a 3-point, I'd scream "ouch"!

I have the five-string version. It's well made, has great sustain and if you don't mind an active sound and don't play too hard (otherwise the 9 volt circuit will start clipping as it does on most 9 volt circuits), then this bass provides what you could call a modern TBird sound. Certainly a credibly attempt by Epi to modernize the TBird.
