The Story

1976 Thunderbird Bicentennial Bass Natural

It's always fun to see a vintage (and pretty rare) Gibson Thunderbird Bicentennial Bass pop up! This is a '76 Bicentennial, part of a run of 1,855 basses built to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. This bass has been played over the years, and it shows in players wear throughout the body. There are authentic areas of play wear around the pickups, and a replaced strap pin from the upper side of the body to the back of the neck heel. The bass plays wonderfully, and has a great vibe about it. The original hardshell case is included, however no pickup covers.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case
