Lovies Guitars is excited to offer up this 2012 Gibson Non-Reverse Thunderbird 4-String Bass with a Pelham Blue Finish! Far from just a clever name, the Gibson Thunderbird 4-string bass possesses plenty of thunderous power and long-lasting reliability — all in a vintage-looking instrument. At its core sits a mahogany body and neck capped with an Indian rosewood fingerboard, the perfect recipe for bellowing bass and pro-quality performance. A pair of humbuckers produce plenty of classic Thunderbird tone with enough juice to push your amp into saturated oblivion, tweakable via individual volume knobs and a handy master tone control.

When it comes to bringing the "thunder," Gibson knows just what it takes to deliver, and it all starts with the tonewoods. The Thunderbird sports a fantastic combination of mahogany and rosewood, the perfect pair for monstrous low-end rumble and effortless playability. Its mahogany body and neck imbue an unmistakable warmth and full-bodied thump, with plenty of sustain, resonance, and durability to serve you well for years to come. When it's time to let your fingers do the talking, you'll find your fretting hand dancing freely across the Indian rosewood fingerboard, silky smooth to the touch and incredibly comfortable in all playing positions.

Inside the Thunderbird lay two sleeping humbuckers. Once these pickups awaken, get ready to unleash an earth-shattering roar that is commanding, present, and fully prepared to pummel your amp with low-end destruction. Volume controls for each humbucker allow you to use them separately or blended to perfection, with a master tone control for some additional sound shaping.

The Thunderbird wears a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes — standard back in the '60s and '70s — are significantly thinner than today's polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to "breathe." Nitro finishes not only look wonderfully vintage, but they also enhance the instrument's tonal qualities. This guitar is in great shape with buckle wear, light hardware tarnish, several minor indents and a finish indent by the knobs, rated at 8.5/10. Has upgraded strap buttons, upgraded knobs and extra pickguard included and free of any breaks, cracks or repairs. Included with this guitar is an original hard-shell case and a complimentary sample of Fret-Not, our preferred fretboard cleaner, check it out at fretnot.net!
