Two 2-TB Plus HumbuckersAt the bridge and neck are a set of 2-TB Plus humbuckers ready to electrify your performance and shake the stage. And with the 'neck' pickup placed closer to the center of the body, the Thunderbird gives you the growling bass tone you want without too much low-end mud. Take a good look at the back of the instrument, and you'll see it has a mahogany center with alder 'wings,' yielding a deep, dark full-bodied sound, without adding too much weight. It also offers a comfortable feel and an addicting playability your fingers won't be able to get enough of. The Distinctive Thunderbird LookThe atypical reverse zig-zag body shape certainly stands out in the crowd. Check the reviews, and you'll see why players of all experience levels love this Epiphone 4-string! A maple neck features 20 frets of smooth playability and comfortable action. Two 2-TB Plus humbuckers take in the nuance of your performance and project a clear output ready to hit the stage. The reverse zig-zag alder body looks sleek and resonates a punchy sound perfect for rock enthusiasts.

This is a great entry-level bass for any player to dip their toes into before committing to a more expensive instrument.

Back in 1963, the Thunderbird electric bass was born, and Epiphone pays tribute to this classic axe with the Epiphone Thunderbird IV.
