I'm currently in a similar situation. I play guitar but want to get a bass both to lay some bass tracks down and to learn as a second instrument. I'm currently tossing up between a MIM Fender Precision, Jazz or an Epiphone Thunderbird IV. I'd be mainly using it for blues/rock but some flexibility would be nice. Has anyone had any experience with the Thunderbird IV?

3toes posted:Yes and I absolutely loved mine and wish I hadn't gotten rid of it. Its great for rock tones and can even do some vintage motown type sounds if you dial it in just right. It is by no means a modern-sounding instrument, and I dug the hell out of that. I can't believe I missed that on the last page, probably because I was reading it at work and not listening to the sound clips. The Thunderbird is on to of my list at the moment. I love Gibson body style and I'm a big fan of vintage sounds anyway. As long as it's as good as the MIM Fender basses which I can probably get for the same price here, I'm all good.

I've been looking at getting a bass for a while now (I play guitar) and was trying to decide between the Geddy Lee Jazz Bass and the CIJ 75 Reissue Jazz Bass. I've heard the 75 RI pickup spacing is a little different than a real 70's bass and changes the sound somewhat, I've also heard the Geddy is pretty bright sounding. I'm after a bass that has a bit of the 70's growl to it. Has anyone had any experience with either of these?
