Description
Rediscover the legendary sound of classic rock 'n' roll with the Epiphone Thunderbird '64 Bass, an incredible instrument that boasts all the charm and power of the original models from the 1960s but at an accessible price. It's the ideal choice for bassists eager to deliver deep, resonant grooves and aggressive, attention-grabbing riffs, thanks to its powerful dual ProBucker 760 humbuckers that dish out a rich, gut-punching growl. For musicians seeking a bass guitar that combines eye-catching '60s designs with advanced modern craftsmanship, the Epiphone Thunderbird '64 Bass stands unmatched.
The Thunderbird '64 begins with a 9-piece mahogany and walnut body fit with mahogany wings, giving it a robust tonal foundation that's as full-bodied as it is dynamic. From the moment you pluck your first note, you can expect deep lows, pronounced mids, and ample sustain for a tone that's equally rich and commanding. Enhancing its one-of-a-kind sound further is its neck-through-body construction, which ensures every note you play resonates with decadence and clarity.
Once you start riffing on the Thunderbird '64, you'll never want to put it down. Its '60s rounded neck has a comfortable, old-school feel that accommodates a wide range of playing styles. Meanwhile, its narrow 1.496" nut width allows bassists to perform fast fills and blistering bass lines with ease. Rounded out with a smooth 20-fret Indian laurel fingerboard, a Tune-o-Matic bridge, and open-gear historic "clover" tuners, this Epiphone Thunderbird is a vintage-inspired masterwork that's a dream to play.
When amplified, the Thunderbird '64 roars to life, pumping out a broad spectrum of studio-grade tones. Crank all knobs to 10, and this beast will lash out with a raw, adrenaline-fueled growl that's perfect for rock and metal. Dime the neck pickup and roll off the tone knob, and you'll conjure a warm, sweet, and mellow tone that sounds phenomenal in softer settings.
Adorned with a stunning Inverness Green finish and gold control knobs with silver reflectors, the Epiphone Thunderbird '64 Bass stands out not just for its awe-inspiring sound but for its bold retro aesthetic. If you're searching for a top-notch bass guitar that blends stunning vintage designs with modern reliability, look no further than the Epiphone Thunderbird '64.
