ARTICLE N° 99598
The Epiphone Thunderbird '64 captures the spirit of the iconic basses of the '60s while bringing modern reliability. Its Thunderbird design, with its distinctive contours and hot-stamped logo on the three-ply pickguard, imposes a strong visual presence on stage. The Purple Sparkle colour and high-gloss finish highlight the warm, elegant woods, while the nickel fittings maintain the vintage aesthetic.

This bass is designed for a powerful, dynamic sound thanks to its two ProBucker 760 pickups, which produce deep, articulate lows, rich mids and accurate highs. The sound palette is highly versatile: from smooth, round bass lines to more aggressive attacks, it's perfectly suited to rock, punk, hard rock or even funk. Volume and tone controls via CTS knobs let you fine-tune every nuance of your playing.

The neck-through construction of the new maple and walnut plywood neck offers exceptional sustain and even resonance throughout the body. The smooth transition to the upper frets gives easy access to the high notes, for comfortable, precise playing.

The Graph Tech saddle and 19:1 open clover action give the Thunderbird '64 exemplary tuning stability, while the Tune-O-Matic bridge and Claw dovetail ensure perfect intonation and sustain. Supplied with a premium gig bag, it's ready for stage and tour.
