4-string Electric Bass with Mahogany Body, Mahogany/Walnut Neck, Indian Laurel Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups – Ember Red

Another Fab Throwback Collab by Epiphone and Gibson

Epiphone is all about throwing it back to 1964 in grand style with this thundering Thunderbird ’64 Bass! We looked into the specs of this bass, and we know vintage music lovers will find much to love about the classic Thunderbird body shape, 9-ply mahogany walnut neck, and Indian laurel fingerboard that all make for a supremely enjoyable playing experience. Bassists are also sure to find their groove with the sonics of this bass guitar thanks to the duo of ProBucker 760 humbuckers that dole out boisterous, thumping tone that’s right at home in rock ’n’ roll. This Thunderbird model is sure to bring honor to its legacy while bringing its build quality and electronics up to par with 21st-century bassist needs.

Take the stage in style

Here’s a little fun fact about the Thunderbird bass: It was initially designed by the automotive designer Ray Dietrich! The Thunderbird ’64 stays true to many of the original innovations that made it such a rising star, including a neck-through construction and the comfortably sculpted Thunderbird body shape and wings that’ll never go out of style. With a body of mahogany and a ’60s Rounded Bass 9-ply mahogany/walnut neck, the Thunderbird ’64 is sure to soar through any groove you can lay on its Indian laurel fingerboard. Other hardware combines to keep this bass rock solid during gigs and rehearsals alike, such as the Epiphone Vintage Bass Tune-o-matic bridge, a Graph Tech nut, and clover open-gear bass tuners. Take the stage in style with this eye-catching vintage vibe Thunderbird!

Great tone from dual humbucking pickups

Epiphone’s ProBucker 760 humbucking pickups are tuned to replicate the glorious thump of Gibson’s original 1960s Thunderbird pickups. For tone shaping, you’ve got a separate volume knob for each pickup, giving you access to blended pickup tones you can’t achieve with a traditional three-way pickup selector. A master tone control lets you dial in just the right amount of top-end snap.
