Welcome to Musicdungeon. You are bidding on a great piece. This is the Gibson USA Thunderbird IV Electric Bass Guitar. 34" scale. 1.47" nut width. 8 lbs 14 oz. There are few basses out there that have the natural resonance this beauty has. Light weight mahogany body, set mahogany neck, and the 3 point Gibson bridge. The combination of these allows for a very lively bass, the entire length of the instrument comes alive with every note. Dual TB designed ceramic mag humbuckers grab that natural tone and add some nice mids while retaining clarity. From deep thump to high end mid growl, these have got you covered. This gives you an entire palette of tones to chose from. Roll the tone back while on the neck humbucker and some incredibly sweet jazz tones are at your disposal. The neck here has a thin feel- just .85" deep at the 5th fret with a C profile. Add to that the ebony board and you have one of the fastest bass necks on the scene. The look here is classic- sunburst finish, large Thunderbird pickguard, and black hardware. This Thunderbird IV is in good overall condition- typical compressions, chips, and scratches you expect on a bass of this vintage. The neck had a clean break which was professionally repaired over a decade ago- a very strong repair. The frets here are clean- set up with action of just over 3/32" at the 12th fret low E. This auction includes the original hardshell case in pics. This is your chance to get your hands on one of the sweetest, most resonant basses on the scene- the Gibson USA T-Bird IV. We were an authorized Gibson dealer for decades. Buy with confidence. Don't pass this by!
