Surfing Thomann website a few months ago (Thanks Thomann for the great customer service you are providing steadly through the years) I discovered the Vintage Pro with this solid 2 pieces bridge, probuckers, big vintage headstock, neck thru., I said to myself "man, thats John Entwistle's bass!" but i was still skeptical due to the past experiences until I went browsing for videos and reviews, it seemed that these probuckers were quite bright despite being humbuckers so I gave it a shot! They sounded too dark compared to what I am used to and i hated the 3 point bridge look and harmonic response, finally I had discarded the idea of owning one despite the fact i loved the thunderbird look/concept. I have been playing mainly jazz basses, also owned a rick 4003, jaguar bass, precisions, a warwick thumb 5 in the 90s and few others.ĭuring all these years I crossed few times with thunderbirds, epi and gibsons ( music shops or friends) I disliked all the ones I have tried, they were all with the 3 anchors bridge and small headstock. I have been playing bass for the last 35 years and i am also a guitar tech and my review is unbiased, I do not work for Epiphone/Gibson.
