Why We Love This Product!

A Legendary Bass!

The Thunderbird was first born in 1963, when the Norse god Thor endowed this distinctive body shape with the rafter-rattling power contained within. OK, we might have made up some of that, but two things are true: the Thunderbird came to be in 1963 and it will rattle the rafters! The Epiphone Thunderbird IV rocks a full 34" scale length, giving you nice tight tones that'll cut through the mix without sacrificing the bottom end. This crazy affordable incarnation of the storied Thunderbird rocks an alder body attached to a maple bolt-on neck. Two humbuckers handle the amplification of the strings and the Vintage Sunburst finish looks super cool. If you've always lusted after a Gibson Thunderbird but can't swing the price tag, the Epiphone Thunderbird IV is the perfect alternative!

Great bass for the price

Written by Anup Devara from Lubbock, TX

Music Background: Hobbyist - intermediate level
This is a fantastic bass guitar for the price....great sound
+ fantastic looks.
Only problem - on the heavier side + very head heavy. that means if you strap up the guitar, the head swoops towards the fround if you let go. that is why I rated it 4 stars.
You would have to set up a strap nut/lock behind the neck to avoid this.
Came well packaged and was very well set up by gearnuts.
