Epiphone Thunderbird IV Classic Pro 2016 - Alpine White OHSC
Up for grabs is my incredible 2016 Epiphone Thunderbird Classic-IV Pro in the stunning, highly desirable Alpine White lacquer finish. Made in Indonesia, this isn't your standard entry-level Epiphone Thunderbird. This specific, out-of-production run is famous in the bass community for one massive reason: it was built to historic Gibson specs.
This beast features a true 7-ply Mahogany/Walnut neck-through-body construction and comes loaded from the factory with genuine Gibson USA TB-Plus Humbuckers. It delivers the exact massive, growling low-end and endless sustain that the Thunderbird is famous for, without the hefty Gibson price tag.
Condition: Excellent / Near Mint
This bass has been incredibly well cared for and is in near-mint condition. The Alpine White finish looks brilliant against the black hardware, and the electronics work silently and flawlessly.
- The only flaw: There is one very small, superficial ding on the bottom of the body (see close-up photo). It does not affect the playability or structural integrity in any way, and is completely invisible from the front when playing.
- The frets have virtually zero wear, and the 1960s rounded bass profile neck is dead straight with low, comfortable action.
Why This Model Rocks
- Gibson USA TB-Plus Humbuckers: These ceramic-magnet powerhouses are wax-potted and epoxy-filled, delivering a high-gain, punchy tone with heavy bottom-end and crisp definition.
- True Neck-Through Construction: The 7-piece mahogany/walnut neck runs straight through the mahogany body wings, giving this bass resonance and sustain that bolt-on models simply cannot match.
- Classic 3-Point Hardware: Features the heavy-duty fully adjustable 3-point flush-mount bridge and premium die-cast 17:1 ratio tuners.
