This Orville by Gibson Thunderbird is an awesome bass that sounds/plays amazing. Head to head with USA Gibby T-birds, you’ll find this MIJ beaut is lighter weight and more balanced on the strap without sacrificing design, tone or Power. The neck is straight, the action is low and the electronics are functioning as they should. Nothing like the firepower of a T-bird to absolutely command the rhythm section.

Cosmetically the bass is in great shape. Nicks, dings, scratches, scuffs and patina in all the right places. Merely skin deep and easily overlooked once you’re plugged and playing. A right handsome gent in dark sunburst with bird guard and chrome! Included is the original O by G soft case.

Shipping is a flat $125 in the lower 48. Local pick up in Chicago available and encouraged.
