2000 Gibson Thunderbird – With Original Case (USED)

2000 Gibson Thunderbird Bass – (USA)

A bold classic with unmistakable presence, this 2000 Gibson Thunderbird delivers the punchy low-end and rock-solid build quality that has made this model a mainstay on stages worldwide.

Featuring a neck-through-body design, the Thunderbird sports a 9-ply mahogany-walnut neck with mahogany wings, creating incredible sustain and tonal depth. The 34-inch scale and rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays provide a familiar and comfortable playing experience, ideal for everything from vintage rock to modern alternative styles.

Loaded with two Gibson humbucking pickups, this Thunderbird offers a powerful and articulate tone, shaped by dual volume knobs and a master tone control. The original three-point adjustable bridge, nickel hardware, and Grover tuners round out a high-spec platform for serious players.

This example is in good condition, with some cosmetic wear—including minor dings and chips consistent with age and use. The jack socket has been replaced, but all other components remain original and fully functional.

Weighing 4 kg (8.8 lbs), this bass balances solid feel with manageable weight. It comes complete with its original Gibson hard case, a valuable addition for collectors and gigging musicians alike.

USA-made Thunderbirds from this era are becoming increasingly hard to find—especially in this condition. A great opportunity to own a genuine American classic with style, tone, and vintage appeal.
