Gibson Thunderbird Bass Guitar, Sunburst with Hard Case (pre-owned)

The Low End Legend, with Scars to Prove It.

Few basses wear their attitude as proudly as the Gibson Thunderbird and this 2013 model has all the swagger you’d expect. With its neck-through mahogany construction and twin TB+ humbuckers, it delivers that unmistakable growl; rich, punchy and unapologetically bold. This isn’t a museum piece; it’s a player’s bass, the kind that’s been gigged, loved and broken in the right way.

The finish shows its story - chips and dings along the edges of the body and headstock, a few scratches from honest use, too, but the frets are clean and the playability is spot-on. The neck feels fast and solid, sustaining notes that seem to hang in the air forever. It’s got the kind of character that only comes from real use.

Whether you’re laying down heavy rock lines, exploring vintage tones or just chasing that classic Thunderbird snarl, this bass is ready to shake walls and turn heads. It’s a seasoned workhorse with Gibson pedigree and a voice that never backs down.
