Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gibson’s Non-Reverse Thunderbird Bass in Sparkling Burgundy brings two Thunderbird pickups, separate volume controls, and a master tone control to a distinctive non-reverse solidbody design. Blend the neck and bridge pickups to move between the growling lows and punchier midrange described for this model. The mahogany body and neck are paired with a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard, while the 3-point adjustable bridge handles intonation adjustment. Hipshot Ultralite tuners reduce headstock weight, and a hardshell case is supplied for carrying the bass.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage or studio bass work needing separate neck and bridge pickup volume control.
