Product Description
Acoustically resonant and perfectly balanced, this bass weighs only 8lbs 4oz. To repeat: you won't experience the typical "neck dive" with this Thunderbird, and the forward strap button is the perfect balance point for the body and neck. The bass is strung with a fresh set of 45-100 roundwound strings which help produce a tone that's warm and vibrant, with equal parts low end punch and top end grind. The solid mahogany, set neck construction and vintage style three-point bridge with tailpiece (for added break angle and bridge stability) add up to an instrument that sustains endlessly and sounds fantastic. Professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, this Thunderbird TB-65 has comfortable action, fresh strings, and solid intonation.
The neck has a medium C profile with a full 34" scale length and a nut width that's 1 11/16", matching vintage Gibson spec. The frets are in truly remarkable shape, retaining their full factory height and well rounded crowns. There is only the faintest hint of wear on the fret crowns beneath the A and D strings on frets 2-6, with no wear up the neck and no buzzing or dead spots. On the headstock, the gloss black tuning machines with clover buttons turn extremely smoothly and hold pitch well. The face of the headstock is reminiscent of the classic Gibson shape, with a carved, three-dimensional appearance with the lowest tier matching the color of the body, and the upper tier finished in black with the "Greco" truss rod cover.
All of the electronics work as they should, with individual Volume controls for each pickup and a master Tone. The pickups are incredibly faithful to the original Gibson design (not to be confused with Gibson's overwound modern reissues), and these pickups have ideal, balanced output that pushes an amp just hard enough while retaining clarity and a sweet, dynamic character. The bridge pickup reads a robust 9.85k ohms which balances well with the neck pickup at 9.6k. The bridge and tailpiece have very light patina on the bass side edge and the bright white finish shows virtually no yellowing. There are only a few small nicks on the back and on the bass side lower bout body edge where there's a small spot of finish touchup highlighted in the close up photo. Otherwise, this bass is clean as can be and a rare, stock example from Greco's most praised era.
Few instruments can match the craftsmanship and quality of the Fugijen produced Greco instrument, and here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, the Thunderbird TB-65 is among our favorite Greco models!
