You can only understand that once you try it, and that’s what musicians love (and dislike) so much about this bass. No other bass looks like it, and because of its body shape, no other bass feels like it. Its design hasn’t changed in a bit, and it still looks as unique and different as it did once before. Over 60 years later, it has stood the test of time. Gibson debuted the Thunderbird in the early ‘60s, and it looked like the bass of the future. The Epiphone Thunderbird is built to the highest Gibson standards.

We’re reviewing the Reverse version because it’s the most available of the series, although there are more alternatives like the Pro version.Ĭan you already see how this is such a special bass? That brings us to the Epiphone Thunderbird Reverse bass, an affordable version of the Gibson Thunderbird built to the same specs, standards, electronics, and even pickups. The rest of the guitar’s features (like tonewoods, body shape, colors, finish, etc), are not going to affect the sound as much as the pickups itself. Their best models are mostly using Gibson pickups, hardware, and electronics.
That means a budget Epiphone instrument can be just as good as a Gibson instrument. That’s something I already discussed in my Squier Classic Vibe series review.
More so, the quality gap between budget and high-end instruments is getting thinner by the moment. And because I said that, I can now name the two Gibson series that are so special they practically don’t need to sell anything else: the Gibson Les Paul electric guitar and the Gibson Thunderbird bass guitars.Įpiphone can be just as good as their parent company…I mean, if Gibson were to sell instruments for honest prices, Epiphone is what you would get. In fact, Gibson doesn’t build much variety in terms of musical gear…what they do build, they do it perfectly.
