GIBSON THUNDERBIRD SERIAL NUMBER
It was made in the Kalamazoo, Michigan Gibson Guitar Factory in 1977, the serial number is 06243605. The look of the bass is spot-on correct, so much so that it’s totally acceptable to see Epiphone instead of Gibson on the headstock. This is a beautiful vintage 1977 Bicentennial Gibson Thunderbird Bass in Sunburst. Has that also been addressed with the Epiphone? Again, that’s an unknown. One could always use a counterweight to combat neck dive, should any exist.Īlso, it should be mentioned that Gibson in recent years has addressed neck dive issues with certain models. HOWEVER (again)… even if it does have dive issues, it might be worth picking up anyway just to get one of these, considering it sells for around $299 US.

HOWEVER… does it have neck dive issues? That’s an unknown, because the video does not show the player playing it standing up. She’s a one trick pony in a bad, bad way, and has a nasty attitude (like showing up at the prom in a leather jacket). She’s wild, she’s the sexiest thing ever, she doesn’t do anything all that great, she’s fragile or broken, and she’s very expensive. The Gibson Thunderbird stands out as the most respected of all Gibson bass guitars, and has been in production on and off since 1963. There’s no question that the Gibson Thunderbird bass has one of the coolest body shapes, but how does that translate when put into an Epiphone version?Īs you’ll see from the video below, Epi’s version of the T-Bird IV has it where it counts. The Gibson Thunderbird is the crazy drunk chick you won’t bring home to meet your mama.
