Far from just a clever name, the Gibson Thunderbird 4-string bass possesses plenty of thunderous power and long-lasting reliability — all in a vintage-looking instrument. At its core sits a mahogany body and neck capped with an Indian rosewood fingerboard, the perfect recipe for bellowing bass and pro-quality performance. A pair of humbuckers produce plenty of classic Thunderbird tone with enough juice to push your amp into saturated oblivion, tweakable via individual volume knobs and a handy master tone control. For an added dose of vintage flair, the Thunderbird is finished in beautiful nitrocellulose lacquer, a favorite for its sharp looks and ability to bring out even more tone from an instrument's woods.
