Product Description
We are pleased to offer this Rock N Roll Relics Thunders Bass in a medium-aged Burgundy Mist finish. With its lightweight all Mahogany double cut JR body with vintage neck profile, this RNRR Thunders is an utter dream to play.
Presented in a tantalising Burgundy Mist finish partnered with a dark Rosewood fingerboard, this Rock N Roll Relics bass quickly becomes the focus point of any situation. Its lightweight body helps produce a resonant tone with a deep and musical sustain. Its attack is focused with the perfect amount of top-end ensuring that every note pops through any mix. It's well-balanced and features a single Lollar Thunderbird pickup that flawlessly captures every nuance of this premium crafted bass.
Key Features
- Tried and Tested - Utilising the tried and tested wood combination of a Mahogany neck and body in combination with a Rosewood fingerboard; the RNRR Thunders produces a powerful, mid-focused, rich tone that wants to be played loud!
- The Right Ingredients - No stone is left unturned, and no shortcuts are made in ensuring that every Rock N Roll Relics bass is the best it possibly can be. From its premium tonewoods, Nitrocellulose Lacquer, Jescar frets, CTS pots & Paper and Oil caps along with its Lollar pickup. Not to mention its world-class build quality.
- Classic Shape - The Rock N Roll Relics Thunders sports a double-cut JR shape that just feels right. Perfect weight distribution, effortless access to higher notes and a general allure that stops you from putting it down.
Secret Sauce
Utilising an arsenal of ‘secret tools’ every Rock N Roll Relics guitar receives just the right amount of ageing and relicing. The guitars look and feel authentic, like they have stories to tell and like they have been someone’s number one for the last 30 or so years. From gentle finish fading with tarnished hardware all the way to completely weather-checked and beat up there’s an option that’s right for everyone.
Lollar Thunderbird
The Rock N Roll Relics Thunders Bass features a single Lollar Thunderbird humbucking bass pickup. It yields a powerful bass tone with a clear top end and thunderous lows. Its smooth attack and portent growl make this pickup the perfect choice to partner up with the mid-focused tone of the slab Mahogany Thunders bass. It’s a desirable bass sound that works with just about every genre and fills every space in a dynamic and musical way.
Rock N Roll Relics
Founded in 2005 by genuine Rock N Roll legend, Billy Rowe, Rock N Roll Relics blends Billy’s obsession with vintage ‘relic’d’ guitars, his love of premium boutique instruments and his passion for guitar building and maintenance. From humble beginnings in a make-shift workshop in a relative’s garage and a store on eBay, Billy grew RNRR to become one of the most prominent custom guitar workshops on the scene. Based in North Hollywood, Billy and his small team have built guitars for Billie Joe Armstrong, Glen Campbell and Bruce Kulick to name just a few. Everyone at Rock N Roll Relics is a guitarist, building what they love with a genuine passion for what they do.
Working With Billy & RNRR
“We spent hours with Billy and the RNRR team discussing the spec of these guitars, the colours, and the one-off custom designs to really capture the essence of what the brand is about. To say they are passionate about what they do is an understatement.”
“The design and spec choices we made on our Rock n’ Roll Relics widely vary. On one hand, we wanted no-nonsense rock machines – single pickups, authentic relic jobs, and classic colours, perfect for gigging musicians. On the other hand, we wanted spectacular custom designs, paint jobs you haven’t seen before, plucked for the wildest imagination for that player who wants a truly unique instrument. Although these are two very different choices, they are all undoubtedly the most rockstar guitars we’ve ever had at Andertons Music Co.”
“My personal favourite is the Thunders in TV Yellow. A truly iconic, simple, lightweight design. That classic wraparound tailpiece & P-90 kicks like a mule. The '60s-profile neck is comfortable and slick to navigate, and the fretwork is exceptional.” - Ben, Andertons Music Co. Guitar Team
