Since 1965, the Non-Reverse Thunderbird has carved out its reputation as the bass of choice for musicians who forge their own musical path rather than follow trends. This distinctive instrument combines striking visual appeal with massive, thunderous tone that commands attention both on stage and in recording sessions. The Gibson USA Non-Reverse Thunderbird brings this relatively rare and sought-after design within reach of discerning bassists.
Built with a Non-Reverse mahogany body and mahogany neck featuring a rosewood fretboard with 20 medium jumbo frets, this bass offers exceptional tonal foundation. The dual Thunderbird pickups each feature individual volume controls, allowing players to use them independently or blend them to taste, while a master tone control completes the straightforward yet highly effective electronics layout. The three-ply white pickguard showcases the iconic Thunderbird graphic that defines this legendary design.
Premium hardware appointments include a Graph Tech® nut and three-point adjustable bridge that provides comprehensive setup options for action and intonation. Hipshot® Ultraite® tuning machines ensure precise, stable tuning while reducing headstock weight for improved overall balance, making this Non-Reverse Thunderbird as comfortable to play as it is distinctive in appearance and sound.
