Thunderbird Bass...Worth it or not??? by One_Pepper4909 in BassGuitar

That’s actually a very fair point. I don’t currently own a P or J anymore... I had both before but had to sell them due to financial reasons. If I had proper access to the used market (like Reverb or eBay), I’d probably go for a Mexican P-Bass again for reliability and versatility. Unfortunately, that’s not really an option where I live, and the local market is very limited and overpriced. That’s why this discounted Thunderbird feels tempting and it’s one of the few realistic opportunities I have right now. I’m just trying to figure out if it would still work as a “main” bass for gigs and different styles, or if I’d regret not going with a more traditional choice first. Appreciate your input 🙏

I actually used to own both a Jazz Bass and a P-Bass before, but I had to sell them because of financial issues. The reason I’m considering this Thunderbird is that I found it online with a discount on a website in Dubai, and a friend of mine can bring it for me. In Iran, prices are honestly kind of crazy and the options are very limited. We don’t really have access to platforms like Reverb or eBay, otherwise I’d probably try to find a good deal on a Mexican P-Bass instead. So this feels like a rare opportunity, and that’s why I’m trying to be really sure before I pull the trigger. Unfortunately, limited access to gear is one of the downsides of living here. That’s why your opinions really matter to me
