Product Description

The Gibson Non-Reverse Thunderbird Bass was first introduced in 1965. Based on the iconic stylings of  US automobiles, the Non-Reverse Thunderbird had a sleek, futuristic design, similar to that of the Firebird guitar. It's huge, ballsy sound made it a popular choice for forward thinking musicians looking to stand out from the crowd, both on stage and in the studio.

New for 2021, the Gibson Non Reverse Thunderbird features a classic Mahogany body, Mahogany neck and Rosewood Fretboard. A pair of Thunderbird Rhythm and Lead pickups, each with independent volume control, deliver a multitude of thunderous, ground-shaking tones. The master tone control allows for further adjustment to your sound. The Non-Reverse Firebird has a three-ply white pickguard displaying the iconic Thunderbird logo, which elegantly offsets the block colour finish.

A 3-point adjustable bridge allows for accurate adjustments of the action and intonation, while a set of Hipshot® Ultralite® tuners deliver accurate and stable tuning. Historically, Thunderbird basses have suffered from being top heavy and the Hipshot® Ultralite® tuners help to keep the guitar balanced for a more comfortable playing experience.

The Gibson Non-Reverse Thunderbird is available in three historic finishes; Inverness Green, Faded Pelham Blue, and Sparkling Burgundy and comes in a hardshell case.

Key Features

Classic TBird tone in beautiful Inverness Green. It reviews itself really. Safely stored in its heavy duty case. Note the cases are linger by a few inches than your typical bass case to cater for the longer headstock. Worth considering if you usually put your bass on the back seat to a gig. Looks and sounds amazing.
