The Epiphone Thunderbird Classic-IV PRO, Alpine White is an addition to Epiphone's range of Thunderbird bass guitars, combining Epiphone's affordable quality with brilliant, Gibson-designed pickups.
The Epiphone Thunderbird Classic-IV PRO AW features a 7-ply mahogany and walnut neck-through-body design, with mahogany body wings in the now legendary Thunderbird body shape.
The neck has a 1960s rounded bass profile and is topped by a rosewood fingerboard with 20 medium jumbo nickel/silver alloy frets, and decorated with pearloid inlays. With a 34" scale length, the Classic-IV PRO has the same great design as its Gibson equivalent.
The Thunderbird Classic-IV PRO is equipped with a pair of Gibson TB-Plus humbucker pickups that are wax potted and filled with epoxy to produce full frequency, vintage Thunderbird tones. Each pickup has a dedicated volume control, while there is also a master tone control for sculpting the perfect sound.
With other appointments including a classic style 3-point adjustable Flush-Mount bridge, black die-cast 17:1 ratio tuners and black hardware, the Classic-IV PRO is a rugged and reliable instrument. It is finished in a smart Alpine White with a white scratchplate with the Thunderbird graphic.
The main features of the Epiphone Thunderbird Classic-IV PRO, Alpine White include:
This bass is spectacular! in this color it looks just perfect! Bass arives to me about month ago, and just now I find time to rate it. sound of this bird is powerfull and great. and just for this price. awesome!
This model is very close to the Gibson models.This is the best choise if you dont have money for a Gibson because this model has original Gibson humbuckers and also important the set in neck just like Gibsons! The finish quality is very good and in this color is very cool. The guitars head is a little bit weight but thats the only disadvantage what this guitar had.
I was not looking for a gibson, either for an Epiphone. I wanted extreme good quality without getting the most expensive bass. I have got more of what i was expecting. The bass sounds excellent and the model is really perfect. My only but it is very heavy, back pain after playing for too long
