My eyes tell me that it's clumsy, ill-proportioned, over the top, strange-looking, and just plain alien.

But my heart says, "Yes"!

That about sums it up for me!

I do really like my Firebird though.

All the things I love about it!

Yeah Paul, that does about sum it up. I've been thinking of an Epi Tbird Pro. I tried a regular passive Epi but it sounded just like a Jazz bass. The Pro has a preamp that offers a lot more variety of tones. But the Pro doesn't come in white.... Yeah, I know, an $900 refin on a $350 bass.

I played a couple of those at the 2010 NAMM show, very nice.

Yeah, $3500 large nice....

There is that minor problem.

[ajish4]

They do look cool, they just LOOK so heavy.

[woodyng]

The 60's models are probably very light, (honduras mahogoney!)' my ''67 epi embassy was only 7or 8 pounds. I do miss that bass....
And i sold it for less than what the Lull bass is priced.....

[johnallg]

The new Epi Pro I tried a few months back was pretty light. They don't list the weight in the specs though.
