Epi Thunderbird Pro IV

[Jouni]

Hi!

Just bought one from Ebay, specs seem pretty good, hope everything goes right.

Anyone here played one?? How's the action on those things?
The regular bolt-neck T-birds I've seen were all pretty high-actioned..

From the sheer multitude of answers here, I kinda figure I'm the first owner of one here.

My first impression:
Definetly NOT the be-all-end-all bass for rock.
Flimsy, very thin body, slim taper neck and the slim headstock make this thing feel like a toy... Compared for example, my Fernandes jazz-copy... And the active electronics kinda make this sound the same as my Schecter Scorpion...

The setup is kinda high, But I'm hoping I can lower it a tad with thicker strings, it came with pretty thin strings, that wobble a lot when picked and rattle.

Looks are great.

I just hope that a heavy set of strings will yield some sturdyness into its essential nature
