Gibson has added to its line of bass guitars with the new Non-Reverse Thunderbird.
This sweet-lookin' four-string features a Non-Reverse mahogany body and mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard and 20 medium jumbo frets.
Sounds on the bass come in the form of a pair of Thunderbird pickups, controlled by a master tone knob and individual volume knobs for each pickup – for individual adjustments or for blending with one another.
Other features on the Non-Reverse Thunderbird include a Graph Tech nut, 3-point adjustable bridge and Hipshot Ultralite tuning machines. The three-ply white pickguard with the unmistakable Thunderbird graphic, meanwhile, makes for a nice visual touch.
