The Dark Side of the Thunderbird

Everything has a dark side, even the Thunderbird. The Epiphone Goth Thunderbird IV bass gets a makeover with an all black finish, black hardware and a distinct XII inlay at the twelfth fret. Leaving the traditional alder body by the wayside, the new mahogany body gives this Goth creation a darker and fatter tone. Dual Epiphone TB Plus Bass Humbuckers offer up large, in your face tones that will hold their own against the loudest of guitars. If you are serious about your music, the Epiphone Goth Thunderbird IV bass is ready to rock the night away in style.

Epiphone Goth Thunderbird IV Bass at a Glance:
  • Deep, dark tone
  • Thunderous pickups
  • A history of distinctive quality


Deep, dark tone
The Epiphone Goth Thunderbird IV bass has left behind its alder body roots in favor of a mahogany body. Mahogany produces a darker, fatter tone, which is exactly what you need in a rock bass. You'll love the fat, full sound you get from the Goth Thunderbird.

Thunderous pickups
Big sound. That's what you want with a bass. The Epiphone Goth Thunderbird IV sports a pair of TB Plus Bass Humbuckers to give you killer, in your face bass. These pickups provide you with the growling bass tones you want while still keeping them punchy. Use the master tone knob to mellow out your sound for ballads and slow melodic songs. The twin volume controls let you dial in the perfect amount of each pickup to achieve your dream sound.

A history of distinctive quality
Nearly four decades ago, the Thunderbird bass design was introduced by Gibson. Bassists could now enjoy some distinctively shaped instruments and get their moment in the spotlight. It doesn't hurt that the Epiphone Thunderbird IV sounds amazing! Much thought went into the design of this bass, including a thicker middle/thinner wing mahogany body construction for a substantial yet lightweight playing experience.
