I have a Samick, bought in the 90's that sounded good alone but always stood out in the mix and I never got around to switch the pups. Then I got a Squier Jazz Bass - thought I'd like it as I have a friend who owns a Fender Jazz Bass but they weren't even close. Changed pickup but still didn't do it for me so I traded it for 5-string Ibanez. 5-strings, I thought, that gotta be cool as hll in heavy tunes! Well, maybe it is and I don't know if it's me who don't know how to do it or if it's the bass but the 5th string sound like crap... whatever I play it just goes 'mumblerumblemumble'. So, I got a really good rig pack from a my friend Time at LRP - it's profiles from a Trace Eliott amp - got inspired and started looking at Harley Benton basses. And they have a Thunderbird model but after watching some reviews where they kinda pointed to the Epiphone Thunderbird I ordered one. Great? No. I ordered the cheapest model, which is OK but not as good as the classic IV Pro. sigs* So I contacted them (gear4music) and we arranged it so now an alpine white T-bird is on it's way. Any other T-bird/F-bird lovers here? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

As much as I'm near clueless on bass guitar, I'd definitly have one instead of dealing with vsti's. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I'm not that good on bass but it's nice to have a good quality bass around whenever the need arises... might start playing more bass if it's as good as they claim!

I played it through a Trace Elliot GP7 Combo. Awesome bottom end punch!!! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

The sunbursts looks really nice too, now I like the white version but that was they had left in stock. Not sure what I would have picked if I had the option to chose.

I struggle sometimes knowing what to tweak with profiles so its been helpful when you've mentioned the tweaks you make to profiles on the vids.
