Epiphone Thunderbird 60s Bass

The Epiphone Thunderbird 60s Bass bringing back the iconic 1963 design with modern ProBucker pickups

The Thunderbird appeared in 1963 and immediately made a statement: an asymmetrical body that looked unlike anything before it, and a tone as dominant as its design. Bands like The Who, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Cheap Trick made the Thunderbird one of the most recognizable basses in rock history. The Epiphone Thunderbird 60s Bass brings that original back with period-correct details and contemporary elements.

The new Epiphone ProBucker Bass #760 humbuckers deliver a powerful, clear sound with plenty of character: warm and full in the low-mids, with enough punch for prominent, aggressive lines. The vintage Tune-O-Matic bridge with Claw tailpiece gives the bass its characteristic feel and contributes to the stable intonation and sustain that makes the Thunderbird so beloved.

The mahogany body with 7-piece mahogany/walnut set-neck and Indian Laurel fretboard over a 34" scale offers the substantial, tight playability you'd expect from this model. The design is an accurate reproduction of the original, with the reliability and consistency of a modern Epiphone instrument.

The Thunderbird 60s Bass is for the bassist who knows that some designs are timeless because they simply work.
