Description

The Epiphone Thunderbird ‘64 Bass in Silver Mist brings the unmistakable attitude of the original 1960s Gibson Thunderbird into an accessible, gig-ready package. With its neck-through construction, full 34-inch scale and a pair of thunderous ProBucker 760 humbuckers, this bass is built to deliver huge low end, singing sustain and that classic, snarling rock voice that has defined countless records. Blending vintage-inspired styling with modern reliability, the Thunderbird ‘64 pairs a 9-ply mahogany and walnut neck-through core with okoume or sapelli body wings, a comfortable 60s Rounded Bass neck profile and a smooth Indian laurel fingerboard. Nickel hardware, a Silver Mist gloss finish and the iconic white pickguard with hot-stamped Thunderbird logo complete the unmistakable retro look, while quality components like Graph Tech nut, CTS pots and open-gear tuners keep you in tune and ready for the stage. Classic Thunderbird Feel and Style The Thunderbird ‘64 captures the bold, offset silhouette and 60s Thunderbird headstock that made the original such an icon. The Silver Mist gloss finish nods to vintage automotive colours, while the white three-ply pickguard with hot-stamped Thunderbird logo and nickel hardware deliver an authentic retro aesthetic that looks right at home under stage lights or in the studio. Neck-Through Sustain and Stability At the heart of this bass is a 9-ply mahogany and walnut neck that runs the full length of the body. This neck-through construction enhances sustain, improves note definition and provides a solid, resonant feel you can feel against your body. Combined with okoume or sapelli body wings and a gloss finish, the Thunderbird ‘64 responds dynamically to your playing, from subtle fingerstyle to aggressive pick attack. Comfortable 60s Rounded Neck The 60s Rounded Bass neck profile offers a familiar, substantial feel without being cumbersome, making long sets and rehearsals more comfortable. A 12-inch radius Indian laurel fingerboard with 20 medium jumbo frets and pearloid dot inlays gives you a smooth playing surface for fast runs, slides and bends, while the full 34-inch scale length delivers tight, authoritative low end across all four strings. Powerful ProBucker Tone A pair of ProBucker 760 Bass humbuckers provide the deep, punchy voice that defines the Thunderbird sound. With independent volume controls for each pickup and a master tone control, you can easily blend between thick neck warmth and cutting bridge bite, or dial in a balanced, growling rock tone. Passive electronics with 500K CTS potentiometers ensure a responsive, musical feel and a wide tonal range.Key Features Authentic 1960s Thunderbird Design – The classic Thunderbird body shape, 60s-style headstock and white pickguard with hot-stamped Thunderbird logo deliver unmistakable vintage character.
