Product Description
Rex Brown is a multi-instrumentalist who's been involved in various musical projects over the last four decades. But he's most renowned as the former bass player for legendary metal bands Pantera and Down — showcasing his uniquely-heavy picking style and exceptional sense for groove. His new signature Thunderbird bass from Gibson just screams "cool" with its stealthy-black 'Ebony' finish and classy gold hardware appointments!
Featuring a Mahogany construction that yields deep and sustain-rich tones, the Rex Brown Thunderbird generates most of its power from a pair of active 'Rexbucker' T-Bird pickups — which can be switched into a passive mode courtesy of the push/pull master tone control. A highly-adjustable Hipshot bridge keeps things rock-solid, paired with matching tuners (including a 'Drop D Xtender'). Rex’s signature is reproduced on the truss rod cover, and the backplate is embellished with a Rex Brown doodle. A Modern Series hardshell case is also included.
Key Features
- Mahogany Construction — This timeless tonewood (used for the body/neck) forms the thick and sustain-rich sound synonymous with Gibson guitars and basses.
- Rosewood Fingerboard — A stunning, dark material known to add warmth into the tonal equation. Equipped with 20 frets.
- Rexbucker T-Bird Pickups — Huge-sounding humbuckers with a tight and punchy low-end; perfect for hammering out the heaviest of rock and metal riffs! Each pickup has its own dedicated volume control with a master tone control.
- Hipshot Bridge & Tuners — Reliable hardware that ensures optimal tuning stability and maximum transference of sound energy. 'Drop D Xtender' tuner allows you to detune the lowest string by a whole step.
- Graph Tech Nut — Low-friction material minimises unwanted tuning slips and enhances sustain.
- Modern Series Hard Case — Protects the Thunderbird from bumps and dings when you're out and about, as well as offering a safe storage solution at home.
