Description
Bassist Rex Brown is well-known for his work with legendary metal bands Pantera and Down, where his aggressive style and crushing tone would lay the foundation for numerous groundbreaking albums. This Rex Brown Thunderbird pays tribute to the legendary player, and it's perfect for high-gain musicians seeking an excellent Gibson bass.
Starting with a mahogany neck and body, this Thunderbird boasts a rich tone with deep lows, punchy mids, and plenty of sustain. Its Hipshot bridge and tuners offer exceptional intonation and tuning stability, and the Drop D Xtender allows players to detune in a pinch. Players will love its rounded mahogany neck and smooth rosewood fingerboard, which feel exceptionally comfortable in hand, and its powerful Rexbucker T-Bird pickups which provide plenty of output and low-end punch. And for folks who need a little more sonic versatility, the master tone control is equipped with a push/pull switch that puts the pickups into passive mode when pulled out, unlocking a wealth of modern and traditional tones.
Complete with Rex's signature on the truss rod cover and a Rex brown doodle on the backplate, the Rex Brown Thunderbird is excellent for Pantera fans, metal musicians, and anyone looking to add a one-of-a-kind Gibson to their arsenal.
