1976 Gibson Thunderbird Bass in original Sunburst finish. This bass is in Very Good original condition with the original case. This was originally owned by Howie Epstein of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The bass plays very well, original pickups sound fantastic. Original Hardshell Case is in good condition with the exception of one latch being broken. The bass was purchased from Howie's brother in this condition, so it's probably Howie's strip of duct tape on the latch, so it remains in-place. Notarized statement from the consignor is included in the photos.

This bass will be meticulously packaged and shipped in a NEW box, typically on the same day. PLEASE check out our awesome feedback!
