The Gibson Thunderbird 2018 Ebony is the perfect tool for all bassists who want to hammer their grooves into the ear canals and stomach pit of their audience with the intensity of a sonic bang. Accordingly, the 2018 version of the Gibson Thunderbird uses the traditional construction with a continuous mahogany walnut neck and body wings made of mahogany, while two powerful Gibson T-Bird humbuckers with passive electronics provide the well-known powerful sound. The Gibson Thunderbird also features a Babicz Full Contact bridge and Grover machine heads.
Gibson Thunderbird 2018 EB EbonyThis bass plays you! Brings you to another dimension... attitude with sounds.
Finish on body and neck is smooth like silk, sustain is cosmic. Bass is brutal and harmonic.
For anyone who never played a Thunderbird before: the only con is the standing position which needs attitude and motion.
Again, no head dive, even while sitting.
Could youf guess? I'm loving it!
This bass guitar came in really cool vintage style hard case, black Gibson strap, multitool & cleaning cloth. Bass itself looks really cool and smell like luxury wood product. It works like charm & playability is super easy with really thin neck. Sound is real TB sound that sounds unique & fits many styles. I thought it’s “only” playable with pick, but fingerstyle opens the sound even better. I also own Fender Elite P Bass, but I have say that this purchase was a steal in every way. Five stars for Musicstore & Gibson of this purchase!
