{"product_id":"gibson-thunderbird-bass-ebony","title":"Gibson Thunderbird Bass - Ebony","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen the Gibson Thunderbird™ Bass was first introduced in 1963, the world had never seen another bass quite like it. Designed by automotive coach designer Ray Dietrich, who also designed the Gibson Firebird™, its new, curvaceous, and asymmetrical body design was radical and groundbreaking at the time, and still looks fresh and contemporary even today. The earliest Thunderbirds had a 9-ply neck-through-body with mahogany “wings,” and were the first Gibson basses with neck-through-body construction. Later, the Thunderbird was redesigned with a Non-Reverse body shape and a glued-in, set neck. The Thunderbird was also the first Gibson bass model to feature a long-scale (34”) neck; previous Gibson basses had a shorter 30.5” scale length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, Gibson is proud to bring a new version of the legendary Thunderbird to the Gibson lineup. The new Thunderbird Bass features a solid mahogany body in the original reverse body shape. The body retains the appearance of the original neck-through design, featuring a raised section running through the middle. However, this new Thunderbird boasts a glued-in, set mahogany neck with a fast-playing SlimTaper™ profile, making it more comfortable and accessible than ever. Additionally, the headstock on the Thunderbird Bass features the popular Non-Reverse headstock style, making tuning up quick and intuitive. Other modern updates include Hipshot® Ultralite® Mini Clover tuning machines, which offer precise tuning and improved balance, along with a Hipshot Supertone bridge that delivers full intonation and adjustable action height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the mythical bird-like spirit of the North American indigenous peoples’ culture that it is named after, the Thunderbird Bass is powerful, thanks to its two EB Bass humbucker™ pickups, which deliver the boom with plenty of output and low-end punch. Each pickup is connected to a separate volume control, allowing you to use either one individually or to blend them in any ratio you prefer. A master tone control allows for additional tonal control. And, of course, the Thunderbird’s 3-ply white pickguard features the iconic Thunderbird logo. The Thunderbird Bass comes packed in a Gibson hardshell case for protection during travel. Order your own Thunderbird Bass today, and own the low end in thunderous style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverse Thunderbird mahogany body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlued in, set neck with a SlimTaper profile and Non-Reverse Thunderbird headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood fretboard with 20 medium jumbo frets and acrylic dot inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHipshot Supertone bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGibson hardshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thunderbird\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304.8mm \/ 12.0in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFret Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium Jumbo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInlays:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrylic Dot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Joint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glued In, Set Neck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Graph Tech\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40.64mm \/ 1.6in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e SlimTaper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 863.6mm \/ 34.0in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELECTRONICS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e EB Bass (Humbucking)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e EB Bass (Humbucking)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 Volume, Master Tone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Jack:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHARDWARE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hipshot Supertone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControl Covers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControl Knobs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Top hat with Silver Reflector\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-ply White with Thunderbird Graphic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickup Covers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrap Buttons:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 -
