Description
If you've been searching for a world-class bass with a killer vintage aesthetic and a monstrous low-end rumble, you need to check out the Gibson Non-Reverse Thunderbird. Boasting a pair of roaring humbuckers, a rockin' cherry finish, and an old-school body design, this axe is a time-honored rock and roll machine.
The Non-Reverse Thunderbird sports an all-mahogany body with a rounded mahogany neck, giving it a classic feel and a rich tone with exceptional sustain. Its 20-fret rosewood fingerboard plays with a smooth, fast feel, while its non-reverse shape provides better access to the upper register. Musicians will also love this model's Hipshot Ultralite tuners, which keep it steadily in tune while reducing weight.
Powering this beast is a set of raging humbuckers that create a stunning array of arena-rock sounds. These pickups churn out thunderous lows and gut-punching mids, allowing you to hammer your amp with sonic destruction. If you need something mellower, you can roll back the tone knob, select only the neck pickup, and this Thunderbird will thump away with a fat, rounded sound.
Built for the bold, the Gibson Non-Reverse Thunderbird is an iconic bass with tons of attitude. Whether you're holding down the groove or stepping out center stage with solos and aggressive riffs, this bass is bound to command attention.
