I was initially very tempted by the T-bird
(Not least of all because you'd been lusting after a Firebird for so long)
But then I tried one, and I had to admit I wasn't all that taken with it. Nice neck, nice big sound on the neck pickup, but I found the bridge pickup far too twangy and the access to the upper frets was awkward due to the body shape. By comparison the EB3/SG bass offered a better blend between the pickups and a more navigable neck. I will still insist on trying them side-by-side again before buying though!

that's interesting
I'd like to play a firebird again just to remind myself how nice it was.

from what you say I'd probably go with the Epi though.

Unfortunately it's intrinsic to wiring of the male brain
If we weren't guitarists, we'd probably have ended up discussing the technical specs of some car, motorbike or hi-fi. Or electric croissant.
