Description
What makes this guitar special: There is little to be said about this bass that most players who are looking at it don’t likely already know. That is, that it’s a fantastic bass all-around, especially for rock and roll, with great tonal character, a distinct yet classic look, and excellent playability. Between the single tone and dual volume controls, in coordination with the T-Bird pickups, this bass has pretty good range for a simple configuration. The neck is warm and full with great low-end response, while the bridge creates a bit more character with a distinct mid-range that finds itself somewhere between vintage vibe and modern punch, all of which has a pretty solid top end response to boot. Outside of one noticeable spot, it is in great shape overall and still looks excellent for a used bass.
Condition: This bass is in excellent condition overall. Outside of various small nicks, dings, dents, scuffs, and scratches throughout, there is only one bigger finish chip about an inch long on the back side of the treble side of the lower bout. The frets show only light wear and still have a considerable amount of life left in them. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions as it should.
Body: Mahogany Thunderbird body shape in Vintage Sunburst finish. 3-ply white pickguard with Thunderbird logo. Black top hat style control knobs with silver inserts. Three-point black fixed bridge with adjustable saddles.
Neck: Medium depth D shape mahogany and walnut neck and rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays. Black Grover tuning machines. 1.5” nut width. 34” scale.
Electronics: TB+ humbucking pickups. 1 x tone, 2 x volume controls.
Weight: 8 lbs 9.3 oz
Playability/Sound: The neck on this bass should be an easy transition for players of all types, as it boasts enough depth to have some meat on it, yet with its D shape, still sports a slightly thinner profile and flat back. The bridge has great mid-range response and the neck handles the low end, both of which still have a pretty solid top end response, making it easy to dial in a decent variety of tones between the individual volume and single tone control.
Case: Includes original hardshell case.
