Epiphone Thunderbird '64 Rosewood, Silver Mist

Full Description

Neck-through construction for a connected playing feel

The Thunderbird '64 features a nine-ply mahogany and walnut neck that runs through the body, rather than joining it at the heel. This neck-through-body construction creates a continuous central structure, with mahogany wings completing the instrument's distinctive shape. It's a design that provides a solid foundation for your playing while retaining the familiar reverse Thunderbird silhouette. The combination of mahogany and walnut also gives the neck a layered construction, making it a key part of the bass's overall design. Finished in Silver Mist with a gloss coating, the body brings together traditional materials and a striking appearance.

Shape your sound with dual humbuckers

Two ProBucker 760 Bass humbuckers give you control over your amplified tone. With one pickup positioned at the neck and another at the bridge, you can adjust their individual output levels to find the balance that works for your playing. The two volume knobs let you favour either pickup or combine them, while the shared tone control provides another way to adjust your sound. It's a straightforward layout that keeps your main sound-shaping options close at hand. And with a standard quarter-inch output jack, connecting the bass to your amplifier or other compatible equipment is simple.

Comfortable neck dimensions for confident playing

The 60s Rounded Bass neck profile provides a familiar, rounded feel for your fretting hand. Paired with a 38mm nut width, it gives you a comfortable starting point for navigating basslines and moving between positions. The rosewood fretboard features a 12-inch radius and 20 medium jumbo frets, providing space for both lower-register grooves and higher notes. Pearloid dot inlays help you keep track of your position as you play. Meanwhile, the full 34-inch scale length gives you traditional long-scale bass dimensions, making this a practical choice if you're accustomed to a standard four-string setup.

Vintage styling with practical hardware

The reverse Thunderbird body shape gives this bass its recognisable outline, complemented by a Silver Mist finish, multi-ply white pickguard, and nickel hardware. Gold Top Hat control knobs with nickel inserts add another period-inspired detail. For tuning, the open-frame machines feature historic Clover buttons and a 19:1 gear ratio, allowing you to make small, controlled adjustments to string pitch. The Epiphone Vintage Bass Tune-O-Matic bridge and Vintage Bass Claw tailpiece complete the hardware arrangement. You'll also receive a premium gig bag, so you've got a convenient way to store your bass and carry it between rehearsals, lessons, and gigs.
