Epiphone Thunderbird IV Bass in Vintage Sunburst

The Epiphone Thunderbird IV, based on Gibson’s original “”Reverse”” body design, is a real head-turner! The Thunderbird shape is unique and interesting, yet universally recognised as one of the classic basses of the modern era.

Even the headstock looks like the mutt’s nuts compared to most bass guitars.

This model features two humbuckers with dedicated volume controls to ensure buzz-free playing in any environment, a universal tone control, black hardware and white scratchplate with the Thunderbird insignia.

In the 1960s, when the Thunderbird was first introduced, it must have looked like the bass of the future; and we think it has definitely stood the test of time! Whilst this won’t turn you into International Rescue, you will be the superhero of the stage!

Here’s what Epiphone say about the Thunderbird IV Bass Reverse Guitar

No other bass looks like it or plays like it. The beloved Thunderbird bass from Epiphone features the “”reverse”” body styling, carved top and dual bass Humbuck pickups, set off with black hardware and Thunderbird insignia on the pickguard.

2 Epiphone humbucking pickups, 2 volume and 1 tone controls. Alder body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, with dot inlays.

Stuff About Bass Guitars

Bass guitars form the backbone of a band’s sound, sitting between rhythm and harmony to give music depth, weight, and movement. Available in electric and acoustic forms, they focus on delivering strong, controlled low frequencies while remaining clear and responsive to playing dynamics. Factors like scale length, string type, and pickup design all influence tone and feel, allowing bass guitars to suit a wide range of styles and techniques. Whether laying down solid grooves or exploring more melodic lines, a good bass guitar anchors the music and brings everything together.

Stuff About Electric Bass Guitars

Electric bass guitars provide the low-end foundation that supports rhythm, harmony, and groove within a band. Designed for clarity, punch, and control, they translate string vibration into a focused, amplified signal that locks in with drums and drives the music forward. Different scale lengths, pickup configurations, and electronics influence feel and tone, from deep, rounded lows to tight, articulate attack. Whether used for simple supportive lines or more expressive playing, electric bass guitars are essential for shaping the feel and energy of a track.

The Important stuff

Vintage Sunburst — Vintage Sunburst is a classic guitar finish that fades from a darker outer edge into a warm amber or lighter centre, highlighting the natural wood grain. It is strongly associated with traditional electric and acoustic guitars, offering a timeless look that reflects classic craftsmanship and heritage design..
