Combined with period-correct hardware and a premium gig bag, this is a bass that is ready to go from rehearsal room to stage without missing a beat.

Vintage Thunderbird Style with Modern Reliability

The reverse Thunderbird body and headstock instantly recall the radical 1960s original, giving you a bass that stands out visually on any stage. Epiphone have captured the spirit of the classic design while building it to modern standards, so you get that retro cool factor with the dependable performance today’s players demand.

Neck-Through Construction for Sustain and Stability

Mahogany body wings are anchored to a 9-ply mahogany and walnut neck that runs the full length of the instrument. This neck-through-body construction enhances sustain, improves resonance and provides a solid, reassuring feel under the hands, ideal for players who want notes to ring out clearly and consistently.

Powerful ProBucker 760 Humbuckers

Loaded with a pair of ProBucker 760 Bass humbuckers, the Thunderbird ‘64 delivers a thick, muscular tone with plenty of punch and clarity. Independent volume controls for each pickup and a master tone knob let you quickly blend between deep, rounded neck sounds and more aggressive bridge bite, making it easy to dial in everything from vintage thump to modern growl.

Comfortable 60s Rounded Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard

The 60s Rounded Bass neck profile offers a familiar, vintage-inspired feel that suits a wide range of playing styles, from pick players to fingerstyle and beyond. A 12-inch radius rosewood fingerboard with medium jumbo frets and pearloid dot inlays provides a smooth playing surface for fast runs, big bends and comfortable chording right up to the 20th fret.

Striking Silver Mist Finish and Classic Hardware

The Silver Mist gloss finish, nickel hardware and multi-ply white pickguard give this Thunderbird a sophisticated yet aggressive look. Epiphone Vintage Bass Tune-O-Matic bridge and Bass Claw tailpiece complete the period-correct aesthetic while helping to keep intonation tight and tuning stable, so your bass looks and performs the part every time you plug in.
