Gibson Thunderbird Bass Guitar - Tobacco Burst

Iconic Low-end Growl and Hot-rod Looks
Want a great big bass tone? Then get the Gibson Thunderbird Bass — it delivers great big bass tone. Dual ceramic magnet humbuckers churn out high output and truckloads of bottom end, while neck-through-body construction and a 3-point bridge give this bass guitar unending sustain. Since its genesis in the 1960s, the Thunderbird Bass has been a hard rock legend. Today, the celebrated low-end growl and hot-rod looks of the T-Bird Bass can be yours with this Gibson Thunderbird Bass.



Neck-through-body construction
The Thunderbird Bass’s neck/body centerpiece is constructed from solid mahogany — as are the two wings glued to each side to form the Thunderbird’s distinct silhouette. The mahogany gives the bass the warm and punchy tone that makes it great for rock ’n’ roll. Gluing the pieces together ensures maximum wood-to-wood contact, allowing the neck and body to function as a single unit. Neck-through-body construction ensures improved tone and sustain, as well as a perfect neck alignment.



Earth-shaking bass tone
For big bass tone, the Gibson Thunderbird Bass comes with a pair of T-Bird humbuckers. Gibson designed these pickups with ceramic magnets to give you punch and clarity. The rest of the band will love your bass’s huge, full sound with a tight bottom end. You’ll keep the band rocking all night with the Thunderbird Bass.




Nitrocellulose finish
The Thunderbird Bass wears a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes — standard back in the ’60s and ’70s — are significantly thinner than today’s polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to “breathe.” Nitro finishes not only look vintage-y wonderful, but they also enhance the instrument’s tonal qualities.
