    I love the pairing of these two honestly. They are obviously enthusiastic about the instruments, they are knowledgeable about other basses/pickups, they do a great job of displaying the various sounds that come from the basses, and they are entertaining to watch. They are making me want to practice more bass!

    Despite the great Jack Bruce, I never liked short scale basses. The Thunderbird is an all time favorite. In the 60s and 70s I had to have a Fender Jazz, but I loved playing the Thunderbird. Sort of like I wouldn't want people seeing me play a Gibson J 45 in those days. Now I just want a great tone. And the Thunderbird has loads of tone!

    Far as I can tell, the Thunderbird creates the bass tone I regard as best of all basses.
    Mahogany is a big part of Gibson's sonic magic and no other brand uses it as much... Mahogany body and neck + rosewood fretboard = terrific tone.

    I've got a Gibson 2013 EB bass, double humbuckers that can be split. A great bass - light, huge range of tones. Would have liked to see Gibson stick with these as well to refine a bit. Stopped after 2014. Also, think the Thunderbird is one of the best classic bass tones - you can pick them out on records, really deep and solid, cut through the mix.

    @lowdefal6306 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    When Gibson release a reissue mid 60s non-reverse Thunderbird with metal cover pickups then we will talk. Heck, I would even accept if they didn't go all in with the pickups. Just make a non-reverse. It's not like anyone else is making them either.
    It still staggers me that this isn't a thing. Even from Epiphone, who have something like 6 different TBird models. Epiphone is the perfect way to judge interest.
