    Strings for Gibson Thunderbird bass

    What strings would y'all recommend for a TBird that wants to take advantage of the lows but still be able to cut through the mix? Especially with the G string, my intention is to make my TBird as versatile as possible, but not sacrifice the thing that makes the TBird the TBird

    Has Anyone Found a Replacement Pick-Guard for a 2018 Gibson Thunderbird?

    My stock white one has the decal starting to smudge and I'm thinking of replacing it with a Black/White/Black guard and a gold T-bird decal but I'm having NO luck in finding any type of replacement let alone the one I want. Any advice? Thanks!

    Gibson Thunderbird - worth the price?

    I'm thinking about investing in a Gibson Thunderbird. I've played Epi Thunderbirds for two decades, but I'm thinking of biting the bullet for the real thing. I'm just wondering if anyone has any input on this. My Epi's generally cost less than $500 and Gibsons are at least $1500 used.

    What are the sound characteristic of the Thunderbird?

    For example, when I think P-Bass, I think of emphasized low mids (and bass, to a lesser extent), and an overall beefy sound. J Bass in emphasized treble and high mids, with the rest of the mids being somewhat scooped. What would you say are the sound characteristics of the Thunderbird?

    Thunderbird basses, popularity question.

    Forgive me if this has already been asked, but I'm just wondering why the Thunderbird was never more popular. Personally, I've never owned one, but it sounded great on Quadrophenia, and that's the only album I can think of offhand that one is so prominent. I'm also not a personal favorite of hum...
