Gibson Thunderbird IV Customer Review
Feature:
The flightcase it comes in is perfect!
Quality:
It's a high-end neckthru gibson bass that comes in it's own, perfect fit, flightcase. This needs no further explanation!
Value:
it's an expensive bass, but it's worth it. don't settle for less or for cheap look-a-likes.
Desirability:
To me, this is the best looking bass around. I fell in love with it the first time i saw it! And i do realise its a love it or hate it bass, but i believe it to be a good thing! its got character.
Sound:
The low-end sound of this bass is the best. It is incredible how thunderous this bass can sound and still be so incredible delicate the next moment. I've been using it in blues-, grunge-, punk-, melodic metal-, ...bands and it never feels or sounds out of place!
Ease of Use:
It has a slim and rounded neck, which results in great playability. The bass has got perfect ballance. In comparison to other basses i've had and played, the thunderbird IV makes it soooo easy. No effort required, so all the energy you put in results in better sound, better feel, .. the bass just allows you to lift your music to a higher level.
Support:
I always get replies within 24 hours after sending emails... no further experience.
Overall:
Well, all-in-all, this bass is it to me. you touch it, and i'll hunt you down...

Gibson Thunderbird IV Customer Review
Quality:
Damn right it's made well.
Value:
Well, it's definitely worth it, of course it would be nicer a little cheaper.
Desirability:
HAWT.
Sound:
Tonally it's so close to perfect I just... augh! Slapping may be a little padded on here, but not noticibly.
Ease of Use:
Yeah man. The neck is fast and slim. The pick ups are a good space from the strings, so...

Feature:
The case that comes witht he Thunderbird is extremely nice.
Quality:
It's a $1700.00 dollar Gibson? Of course the quality it top notch.
Value:
You get what you pay for - this bass is high end but it is worth every penny and I wouldn't take twice the price to sell.
Desirability:
The Thunderbird, to me, is the best looking bass guitar out there.
Sound:
I don't know what game the previous "rate(r's)" were watching but the Gibson=Thunderbird IV is a classic bass guitar. The tone is unmatchable in any other bass - the action is sooo sweet - the playability is tremendous and the overall style is unprecedented. This bass is one of if not the best bass guitars I have ever owned or played - I have played the Pedulla's and Lakeland's as well as many other heavy priced bass' - the only bass that comes close to the Thunderbird is my Fender Jazz American Standard - this is also a classic.
Ease of Use:
From novice to expert the Thunderbird will improve and assist is smooth groovy playin'.
Support:
Unsure - have not used.
Overall:
I own several bass guitars and the only one I play regularly is the Gibson.
