60s Classic Now With Epiphone TB Plus Humbuckers!

The Thunderbird E1 is a tribute to the original Thunderbird bass, first released in 1963 by the legendary Kalamazoo factory.

The unique "reversed" zigzag design of the Thunderbird body and the equally striking headstock were the idea of the legendary automobile designer and visionary Ray Dietrich, who was recruited by the Kalamazoo factory to strengthen the electric-guitar line and help cement the factory's outstanding standing among solidbody electric-guitar makers.

nice bass for the money
Review from Peter on 23.04.2023

There are many T-Bird style basses out there, this one is a good inexpensive option. If you're looking for something that isn't mainstream Fender stuff, this is the hobbyist's choice. A switch up due to the shape, makes for a welcome change. However, a new guitar stand and a new bag will be necessary ... but this is logical - with the shape. The weight is absolutely ok - at 3.7 kg and the sound is different - excellently different ... I have changed it visually ... new knobs and a homemade pickguard and trussrod cover in black, changed its appearance a lot. Now I like him.
Very horny board!

As the bass player of a trash metal band I was looking for a new instrument for quite some time now and by chance I came across this bass and immediately fell in love with it.

The part looks just awesome and makes really what and also the technical side is completely flawless, as well as shipping and ordering in general. High praise for it!

I can recommend the bass without hesitation to anyone who wants to get something visually cool for their money and then also be pushed away by the sound. No complaints here.

Only for one or the other is perhaps relevant that the instrument is very top-heavy, but what I only made something at the beginning (therefore no star deduction), because you quickly get used to his new board and learn to "work" with it.
