the vba400 sounds great, dead simple too. once had it hooked up to two david eden cabinets. i've never heard such a nice bass sound, though it was thick enough to dislodge vertebrae.

yer i wish i could afford a MArshall VBA rig instead of what im going for(although im now considering going back to my original plan and gettin a marshall 412basscab instead of the 410+115). how does that epiphone sound? i was always wary of shortscale basses? also consdering a bc rich as a next bass any opinions on those two would be most interesting.

i love my epiphone so much....it sounds ace. its really easy to play, looks great on stage, iv had a lot of comments about it, all good....the epiphone bass range looks alright, but im wary of the Viola bass.

as for bc rich, i hardly use it now that i have my epiphone. the bc rich is fucking huge, and bloody heavy. i only use it in emergencies, i dont even take it to gigs anymore.

i'd advise you to try out an epiphone bass at least, theres one like mine in Bruce Millars, for the same price i got mine for.

I advise you stay clear of both BC Rich and Epiphone basses and get something that is more playable for the money.

yes but his was gibson & usa fender but it's kinda the same thing

i too find that thunderbird necks are clumpy and thick but Tbird pickups have a great bite so you get that with a nice slim neck

fab!!!!!!

ENTWISTLE IS/WAS GOD!
