Here for sale we have an Epiphone Thunderbird Classic-IV Pro Electric Bass in Vintage Sunburst finish. Made in Indonesia in 2014, this bass consists of a 7-ply Mahogany/Walnut Laminate thru-neck, Mahogany Body Wings, and a 20-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include a 3-Point adjustable 3 point bridge, and Epiphone premium die-cast Tuners with historic "Clover" buttons. The pickups that are installed are a set of Gibson USA TB Plus Humbuckers that are wired to two independent volume controls and a master tone control.
The '60s Rounded' 7-ply Mahogany/Walnut Laminate neck profile feels incredibly comfortable in the hand whilst playing, especially when fretting with the smooth Rosewood fingerboard underneath. The Reverse Offset body shape is comfortable in the arms, and allows for a logical control layout that is easily accessible without being in the way.
Amplified, the Gibson USA TB Plus Humbuckers provide a fantastic fundamental bass tone, with a deep rumbling low end that will fill out any mix. The mid range is warm and adds a distinct character to the tone, whilst the high end frequencies add a nice snappy fast attack. The individual volume controls allow you to blend the neck and bridge pickups in any combination, providing a versatile range of tones suitable for a multitude of musical settings.
