"BEST BASS EVER!!!!"
Feature:Just basic, but great control you want treble, you got it, you want dark tone you got it it is all there....
Quality:
I don't see this thing falling apart anytime soon.....
Value:
Pro sound for $427 after one day shipping that is nice....
Desirability:
I HAVE IT!!!!
Sound:
Better then my last bass that is for sure, I wanted one of these so bad for awhile and I finally got it yesterday, played it, TONE is nice and well balanced, love this bass....
Ease of Use:
Neck dives, but I noticed it made me play better cause I have to hold up which in turn kept my fingers from going everywhere like they usually do...
Support:
I heard they are good, hope they are there when I need them....
Overall:
You can't go wrong with this bass, a must have, even if it is a studio bass really nice tone and look....

"Top Notch Tool"
Feature:The "heavy neck" problem is still there. I'm thinking about getting a "tie on" guitar strap to keep the neck from "diving".
Quality:
This is the second of these guitars I have owned. The finish on this one is easily twice as dark as the one I had 3 years ago. On all the promo pics I have seen it looks much lighter. The finish is lustrous smooth and very snazzy: no complaints other that the darkness. You reallt can't tell it's a woodgrain finish unless you are right next to it. All the hardware is sound and tight.
Value:
This is really a professional guitar, and to buy a pro guitar for $400 is unheard of.
Desirability:
I saw the bassist for the Christian SKA band "TheW's" pounding and hammering one of these at a bowling alley concert in Memphis and I was sold. The Thunderbird IV Reverse is both vintage and futuristic, sleek yet buffed up enough for the big boys.
Sound:
I couldn't imagine it sounding better but, I haven't heard that may basses. Clean and bright or deep and oppressive, it'll sing anyway you want.
Support:
Never had to yelp at them.
Overall:
I can't imagine ever "graduating up" to another bass. This will be my last bass. Only if I master 4 strings and need more to keep the challenge fresh, would I consider changing tools. I love the sound spectrum that this bass can produce, it looks good on me, and played through my Gallien-Krueger Backline/Hartke Transporter hybrid full stack, the vibes can't be beat!
