Electric Basses
Epiphone's Thunderbird Vintage PRO Bass is a modern reproduction of the same classic bass guitar that was first introduced to musicians in 1963. It'll transport you back to the golden age of rock n roll.
Historical Hit
This instrument is a faithful recreation of the iconic, original instrument. Engineers at Epiphone meticulously studied the old Thunderbird models to make sure that this new version was as accurate as possible. Back in the '60s, this bass guitar was present on hit tracks from heavyweight acts like Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Who. With a striking offset body design and a vintage tone, this bass is old-school style and sound personified. This variant features powerful new ProBucker Bass Humbuckers, as well as a '60s style tune-o-matic bridge and claw tailpiece.
