Very pleased with this case!

I have just three very minor complaints...The first is that the latches don't latch as tight as I'd like but they do work well so it's not a big deal. The second is that there is no notch for the neck, which isn't a big deal since the bass fits perfectly and snugly but it is something I like in a case. The third is that this case is BULKY and awkward...I drive an 1985 Buick(a giant boat)and this takes up the entire backseat. Overall I'm very, very pleased. There is plenty of padding, a big storage area for accessories. I recommend it to anyone that owns a Thunderbird.

Not great-just good

I just received the Epi case for my TB. The fit is perfect. Actually, it couldn't be any better. But the case itself is not what I expected. The handle is poor at best, the latches work (for now) and the overall construction is average. I suppose that for the price, it's as good as you will find.

This case is great. It fits my new Epiphone Thunderbird (Vintage Sunburst) Bass Perfectly! Everything about is just fantastic. The case's only downfall is that it's just so darn heavy! The case is almost as heavy (or heavier) as the bass itself. But I'd rather have a well-built, sturdy, and heavy case than a cheap, weak, light case. This is definitely a well-built, sturdy, and heavy case. I took it out of the box and the outside leather looked really nice. I opened it up and it took my breath away. I hope my coffin is this nice someday haha it's just so nice and soft!

I love the slot in the middle where you can pack away your instrument cables, picks (if you use them) strap and headphones (with some cramming).

The only thing I don't like about this case is that it fits the bass perfectly (sounds crazy, right?) but that means you have to detach/reattach the strap every time you take it out or put it in.

To sum all this up, It keeps my bass safe so the price is worth it.

I recommend this case to EVERYONE looking to keep their 'Bird safe.

Epi Thunderbird Goth

Ordered this when I ordered my Epi Thunderbird Goth.

It doesn't fit without cramming it in there pretty hard. You must put the bass in tail first and wedge the bass in.

And the interior isn't cut for the thunderbird -i.e., not cutout for the bass, the case is just big enough to hold a thunderbird -- barely..
