Epiphone Thunderbird Bass Vintage Pro, Ebony Epiphone

Hop in a time machine to the golden era of rock and roll with the Epiphone Thunderbird 60s Bass Vintage Pro. This bass guitar not only captures the essence of the early ’60s Thunderbird but takes it up a notch with modern features that any working bassist can appreciate. The Thunderbird 60s Bass boasts a sleek 7-piece walnut/mahogany neck with a through-body design, ensuring stability and resonance.

The heart and soul of this bass are in its pair of Epiphone’s ProBucker 760TM humbucking pickups. Replicating the iconic low punch of Gibson’s original Thunderbird pickups from the 1960s, these pickups offer a classic, gritty tone that defined an era of music. You also get separate volume knobs for each pickup, allowing you to blend tones in a way that traditional three-way selectors just aren’t able to. A master control allows for further fine-tuning of the sound. 

The Thunderbird 60s Bass is more than just pickups and wood—the hardware is a nod to the past as well with a sleek, mid-’60s Tune-o-matic bridge and a vintage-style “claw” tailpiece. The open-gear “Clover” style tuning machines not only contribute to the old-school-cool aesthetic, but also provide precision tuning with their 17:1 ratio. It’s a perfect combination of vintage looks and modern usability.

Epiphone understands the importance of offering quality at an affordable price, and the Thunderbird 60s Bass is no exception.
