Description

The Gibson Non-Reverse Thunderbird Vintage Cherry is a White from the brand Gibson that gives plenty, a solid weapon in any arsenal. The Gibson Non-Reverse Thunderbird is a bold and powerful bass with a striking offset design and thunderous tone. Originally introduced in 1965 it has remained a favourite for bassists who push boundaries. The mahogany body and neck deliver rich sustain while the Indian rosewood fretboard ensures smooth playability. Its distinctive look is completed with a white three-ply pickguard featuring the iconic Thunderbird graphic. Equipped with dual Thunderbird pickups this bass offers deep punchy tones with plenty of clarity. Independent volume controls let you blend the pickups to shape your sound while a master tone control adds further flexibility. The three-point adjustable bridge allows for precise setup and Hipshot Ultralite tuners keep tuning stable while reducing headstock weight for better balance. A hardshell case is included for reliable protection.
