Thunderbird Pro-V

Building upon the long-term success of the classic Thunderbird bass which has become a virtual institution in pop music, Epiphone introduces the new Professional Series Thunderbird™ PRO. Available in both 4 and 5 string versions, the Thunderbird is the rock and roll bass with the distinctive shape. First released in 1963, the Thunderbird Pro combines traditional design elements with cutting edge technology and all for a price that the working bassist can afford.

Like all of our instruments, the Thunderbird Pro comes with our Limited Lifetime Warranty and Gibson 24/7/365 customer service. Visit your Authorized Epiphone Dealer today and get back to a new future and soar with a Thunderbird Pro from our bass collection.
