Gibson Rex Brown Signature Thunderbird Electric Bass - Ebony

Unleash Power and Precision - The Gibson Rex Brown Signature Thunderbird Electric Bass in Ebony

Multi-instrumentalist Rex Brown is well-known for his work with legendary metal bands Pantera and Down, and his hard-rocking solo album, Smoke on This… His new Gibson Rex Brown Signature Thunderbird™ bass features a mahogany neck and body, and gold hardware with a Hipshot® bridge and tuners (including a Drop D Xtender™). A pair of powerful Rexbucker T-Bird pickups provide plenty of output and low-end punch. The master tone control is equipped with a push/pull switch that puts the pickups into passive mode when it is pulled out. 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.
