Very difficult to beat a P-bass! They might not be as flashy as the other two but they do just work.
Always liked the looks of Thunderbirds but found it hard to get the sound to sit nicely in a band environment (though that could of course be down to me or the band or both!).
My mind just can't process fanned frets so have never tried a Dingwall but they get a lot of love on Bass Chat.
Lw.

The GAS is hitting hard at the moment.
I'm selling that seven string Ormsby I acquired in a trade and I had been planning to use the money to put towards a Fender Player Precision Bass w/maple fingerboard in Buttercream finish.
All good so far.
I the became aware of the Epiphone Thunderbird Vintage PRO which looks bloody amazing. It's basically an exact replica of the original 1963 Thunderbird with a few of the flaws worked out and I think I have to have one...
To top it all off, having been playing this fanned fret Ormsby a little bit, I'm really interested in getting a fanned fret 5-string bass, something that would be a real soloists type of thing just for messing about on my own.
I came across this amazing looking Dingwall refinished in shell pink on instagram and I'm in love. Slightly considering getting my PRS Custom 22 refinished and then flogging it to fund one of these if I'm not in a way of purchasing one otherwise by then...
