I have had my eye on a TBird for quite a while. I would love to get the full blown Gibson some day, but for now i grabbed a base model epi goth edition. Styling is okay, at least it's not the typical faceless bass guitar you see lining the shelves at Guitar Center. This particular model has passive pickups, a nice feature if you're used to actives and don't want to fool around with batteries and unplugging your guitar when you aren't playing. Everyone talks about how these guitars are heavy, but compared to my main bass (Peavey Void 4) this is much lighter, and has less neck dive. The neck is smooth, well rounded and fast. My only real gripe is that accessing the frets higher up on the neck is a pain. This is a downside brought about by the fender lawsuit that made them flip the body upside down to make it look less like... whatever. Big picture, if you're playing rock, maybe some metal this has nice powerful deep tones, decent sustain, and is an all around decent guitar, especially when you figure in the price tag. I wasn't overly impressed with the hardware, mostly due to the bridge. There is very little flexibility or adjustment for dialing the action in to your preferences. Again, not a big deal, especially for an entry level guitar, but if you're a junkie who likes to get your gear dialed in perfect you'll find it frustrating. Overall I like this guitar. It's relatively light, easy to manage, fun to play, and makes for a great secondary/practice bass.Read full review
I made sure to get a Korean made Goth and it shows. I tried ordering a new Chinese made Goth and they kept arriving in terrible shape (damaged hardware, bad finishes, terrible setups with misaligned necks and pickups that were not installed properly, and for some reason the necks felt heavier but I'm sure that was just in my head, right?). The instant I held the Korean goth it was like night and day. Sure somebody had already taken the time to make adjustments to the action but for a used bass it was in nearly as good of condition as the new Chinese ones I tried to buy. And I swear this one has less neck dive. In all, these basses look amazing but are not the easiest to play due to the wide and thick neck. It may not be an issue for some one with larger hands though. In all, I love the tone, great for punk and metal and it looks beast.Read full review
