The Thunderbird Classic IV is a bass monster. How so? It's the neck-through design, and, of course, the pickups! No doubt about it - your pickups are often the weakest link in your quest for the ultimate bass sound. This T-bird packs a pair of Gibson TB Plus humbucking bass pickups with ceramic magnets that give you boatloads of legendary T-bird growl - and none of the noise.
The technology behind T-bird toneThe pickup configuration on the Epiphone Thunderbird Classic IV is unique. Rather than placing a pickup near the neck, which could muddy up the tone and reduce its effectiveness, Epiphone gives the bass essentially middle and bridge pickups. This lets you dial in everything from growling tones to funky punch. Each pickup gets its own volume control, along with a single tone knob for fine-tweaking.
A history of distinctive qualityNearly 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 Classic IV sounds amazing! Much thought went into the design of this bass, including a thicker middle/thinner wing body construction for a substantial yet lightweight playing experience.
