The Epiphone Goth Thunderbird VI bass is the best selling bass in its price class. Period. Its secret to success is the clean, Pitch Black finish, on the Mahogany/Basswood body with responsive Maple neck featuring a Rosewood fingerboard complete with Roman numeral "XII" inlaid in 12th fret posistion. Its famous thunder comes from the acclaimed Epiphone high-output TB-Plus bass humbucker pickups and bears the "Celtic cross" mark on the pickguard.

I own this T Bird and the Vintage Sunburst. Both of these Basses are my favorite.It has the Action and rumble of a Rickenbacker 4001 and the flexibilty and Tone of a Fender Jazz Bass. Great for a Musician starting out who cant quite afford a Gibson.For the price,you can own the Gibson Quality,even though its is an Epiphone. My only Complaint is that it is not available as a 5 string, but can be tuned as low as CFBE(top to bottom) with out distortion or clipping.

For $300, this is an amazing instrument.
For the past 30+ years my main bass has been a '64 Fender Precision. It has out-lived the Rickenbackers, the Steinberger, the Gibson EB-3, and so on. Recently I bought this Goth bass for my 15 y.o. daughter, who also plays. Seemed like a pretty safe bet at only $300. Of course, she just loves it. The problem is, so do I. The tonal quality is both bright and deep. Just the way it should be. But what I love most about this bass is the responsiveness when playing thump-n-pluck method. Hard to believe a $300 bass can sound so good! Plus, it just looks bad-ass. So now the '64 Precision has become a museum piece, and I'm back here on Amazon to buy another Epi-Goth bass so my daughter won't be upset about me bogarting hers.
Great value for the money.
