Gibson Thunderbird Bass 2nd Outlet Model – Revived Classic with Modern Upgrades
This Gibson Thunderbird Bass, a legendary model originally introduced in 1963, has been reimagined with modern enhancements while retaining its iconic design. Crafted from solid mahogany, it features the distinctive reverse S-shaped body, a hallmark of the Thunderbird series, with a sleek, asymmetric profile designed by automotive body designer Ray Dietrich. The bass boasts a set mahogany neck with a SlimTaper profile, offering exceptional playability and comfort.
Key features include a 34-inch scale length, the first for Gibson basses, providing a powerful and punchy tone. The neck is equipped with a rosewood fingerboard with 20 frets and acrylic dot inlays. The headstock features the popular non-reverse style for quick, intuitive tuning. Modern hardware upgrades include Hipshot Ultralite Mini-Clover tuners for precise tuning and Hipshot Supertone bridge for optimal intonation and adjustable action. The bass is powered by two EB Bass Humbucker pickups, delivering rich lows and a distinctive tone, controlled via two volume knobs and a master tone.
The instrument comes with a durable hardshell case and official warranty. Please note, as a 2nd outlet item, minor cosmetic imperfections or repair marks may be present, but these do not affect playability or sound quality.
