1964 GibsonThunderbird II – Cardinal Red
It’s always a pleasure to receive a well-loved bass, but this 1964 Gibson Thunderbird II in its original Cardinal Red finish is just on another level! When an instrument is played repeatedly by the same player for years, unique wear patterns form that fit that player’s style, like the bass side thumb wear on this piece! Despite the wear, this bass still sports all of its original fittings, with a replaced 70s case that bears the old owner’s name.
