Bring the Vintage T-Bird Thunder

Way back in 1963, Gibson released the Thunderbird, a neck-through 4-string counterpart to the space-age Firebird guitar. Ever after, the “T-Bird” has served as a low-end standard for the world’s rock bassists, and much of the Thunderbird’s signature grind comes down to its legendary soapbar-style humbucker pickups. Gibson Accessories Thunderbird Bass Reissue pickups are an exacting re-creation of old-school Thunderbird sonic might, boasting a potted design and Alnico V magnets for plenty of midrange punch and squeal-free operation. If you want to give your Epiphone or Gibson T-Bird a touch of vintage flair, Sweetwater’s 4-string fanatics find it tough to top Gibson Accessories’ Thunderbird Bass Reissue Pickups.

Gibson Accessories Thunderbird Bass Reissue Pickup Features:

  • An authentic sonic tribute to vintage-style Thunderbird pickups
  • Humbucking design and wax-potted construction make for an exceptionally quiet operation
  • Alnico V magnets and a relatively lower-output wind capture the ultra-fat sound and signature growl of a genuine vintage T-Bird

Gibson Vintage Thunderbird pickup

Installed this in the neck position of a 2013 Gibson TBird. The sound is clear and articulate compared with the original's soapbar that was somewhat muddy (but it was louder). It's also a lot lighter in weight. It blends well with the stock bridge pickup. As always, Sweetwater was my first stop when considering upgrades.
