Vintage original 1979 Gibson bicentennial Thunderbird in a natural finish (Refinished)It is very resonate has a fantastic sound.
It has no cracks or breaks.
Original pick ups have classic vintage tone in a monster tone it is. You can get lots of different tones from the dual pick ups.

This has been refinished natural looks like it was originally black from the finish under the control plate. It has an awesome satin sort of finish, not glossy. One pot is original two have been replaced and like there was a filled controls. There are also two holes under the bridge from another bridge at some point the original bridge is on there now original tuners pick bridge etc.

Has some play-wear and small dings as to be expected. Frets are in good shape. Holes that were screwed can be easily filled. I’ve included photos from the shop that I purchased the base from recently.

New DR high beam stainless steel rounds are installed and bass sounds like thunder!

Awesome vintage Thunderbird bicentennial at a reasonable price! An affordable dream bass with massive attitude!
