A Non-reverse Thunderbird Bass!

Get big bass tone, with Gibson's Thunderbird Non-Reverse solidbody electric bass. The instantly recognizable Thunderbird body lets everyone in the audience know you mean business. A mahogany body with mahogany neck gives you the deep, grooving bass tones you need to really lay down the low end. Ceramic-magnet pickups provide fat tone that are perfect for any gig. With its killer blend of killer tonewoods, ceramic pickups, and rock-solid hardware, you'll find yourself pushing your style to the limits when you play a Gibson Thunderbird Non-Reverse electric bass.

Gibson Thunderbird Non-Reverse Bass at a Glance:
  • Comfortable neck plus the solid low-end thump of a maple body
  • Bass humbuckers deliver earth-shaking bass tone
  • Top notch hardware that's ready to work

Comfortable neck plus the solid low-end thump of a mahogany body
To equip the Thunderbird Non-Reverse Bass with the instantly recognizable thump you'd expect from a versatile bass, Gibson went with the tried-and-true combination of a mahogany body and a mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard. This gives you an amazing balance of chest-pounding resonance and the fast response you need to pull off percussive bass lines. And thanks to its narrow 1.6" nut, you don't have to have massive hands to rock out with a Thunderbird Non-Reverse Bass.

Bass humbuckers deliver earth-shaking bass tone
For big bass tone, the Gibson Thunderbird Non-Reverse Bass comes with a pair of Thunderbird bass humbuckers. Gibson designed these pickups with ceramic magnets to give you punch and clarity. The rest of the band will love your bass's huge, full sound with a tight bottom end. You'll keep the band rocking all night with the Gibson Thunderbird Non-Reverse Bass.

Top notch hardware that's ready to work
You'll find a collection of professional appointments that make the Gibson Thunderbird Non-Reverse Bass a true workhorse. For instance, its Grover tuners and 3-point adjustable tailpiece give you amazing tuning stability. Two ceramic magnet pickups deliver big bass tone and the PLEK-cut nut ensures perfect intonation.

  • Classic bass tones for any style of music
  • Dual humbuckers for big tone
