![]() ![]() I tried out all the different knob settings, and it always keeps its super deep, suave tone. I was surprised by how non-versatile it actually is. Tone-wise, I saw many people say that while the Tbird is known as a rock bass, it's actually much more versatile than that. Standing up, it's alright as long as you have a grippy strap and keep a hand on the neck. Neck dive is present, but sitting down it's a non-issue since you can position it so it's balanced on your leg. This bass is definitely built like a tank. ![]() What surprised me the most is that everything on it is much bigger and heavier than I'm used to. The bass is overall well finished and nice to handle, it feels much more expensive than my Ibanez (and it is so that's reassuring). Keep in mind that my are from someone who's only ever had an Ibanez GSR 200. UPDATE in case someone has the same question: I went to a shop and tried out the Vintage Pro. If I get the cheaper one, I'd love to have it repainted to the badass black/white look that's only available on the more expensive one, so that narrows the price difference between the two somewhat. I'm wondering if the 300 € or so difference in price between the basic Thunderbird IV and models like the vintage pro actually makes a big difference in the instruments. This makes me feel like it's time for an upgrade, and I keep drooling over the Thunderbird for both its looks and killer tone. I've been playing bass off and on again for a few years now, and I finally found a band that I can play with regularly and have fun.
