Gibson - Non-Reverse Thunderbird Faded Pelham Blue

The Gibson Non-Reverse Thunderbird Faded Pelham Blue is a bold-looking, big-sounding bass for bassists who want to stand out in both their playing and their instrument.

Originally introduced in 1965, this iconic bass returns with a distinctive non-reverse design that stays true to its heritage while incorporating modern features to meet the needs of today’s players.

Crafted from a mahogany body and neck, the Non-Reverse Thunderbird produces rich resonance and unmistakable tonal warmth. Its Indian rosewood fingerboard, adorned with acrylic dot inlays, provides a smooth playing feel and comfort for all techniques, whether slap, fingerstyle or pick playing.

The Rounded neck profile and Medium jumbo frets add to this enjoyable playability, making every session more inspiring.

Electronically, the Thunderbird is equipped with two Thunderbird Rhythm and Lead pickups, which deliver impressive sonic power. Independent volume controls for each pickup allow for sculpting a wide range of tones, while a master tone knob offers additional customization.

Whether you’re looking for deep grooves or clear melodic lines, this bass will meet all your expectations.

The three-point adjustable bridge guarantees perfect intonation and customizable action, while the Hipshot Ultralite tuners provide reliable tuning stability and excellent balance, reducing the weight on the headstock for increased comfort.

With its Faded Pelham Blue finish, elegantly paired with a white pickguard featuring the famous Thunderbird motif, this bass is a feast for the eyes as well as the ears.

Supplied with a hardshell case for optimal protection, the Non-Reverse Thunderbird is ready to shine on stage or in the studio.
