The Gibson Thunderbird is a 34-inch scale four-string bass built around the reverse body shape that made it famous. It uses a mahogany body, a SlimTaper neck and dual EB Bass humbuckers with independent volume controls, so you can blend the two pickups. Hipshot Ultralite tuners and a Supertone bridge keep tuning and intonation steady. It suits rock and hard rock players who want a deep, punchy low end and a bold look; the trade-off is a heavy, neck-heavy instrument that needs a wide case.

Owners of the modern Thunderbird praise its thick, authoritative tone and the comfortable SlimTaper neck. Many note the weight and neck dive, and some find the two-pickup blend less flexible than an active preamp.
The Gibson Thunderbird Bass is a right-handed, solidbody electric bass with the Thunderbird reverse body shape. The body and the set neck are both mahogany. The body has a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish in Tobacco Sunburst Perimeter.
The SlimTaper neck has a 34-inch scale length and a rosewood fingerboard with a 12-inch radius and 20 medium jumbo frets. Hipshot hardware includes Ultralite Mini-Clover tuning machines and a Supertone bridge.
Two EB Bass humbuckers are controlled by independent volume knobs and a master tone knob. It comes with a hardshell case and a Gibson Accessory Kit.
