1976 Gibson electric BASS bi-centennial /Thunderbird '76 Vintage Black & ChromeThe Bi-Centennial ThunderbirdIn 1976 Gibson reissued the Thunderbird, in its original early 60s body shape, and seeing as 1976 was the 200th anniversary of American independence, it is known as the bi-centennial model or Thunderbird '76.FeaturesAlthough this bass was modelled directly on the 1963 Thunderbird, with a through neck and reverse body shape, there were some changes to the original design; most notably the new 3 point bridge, which appeared on most Gibson basses of the period, but also a red, white and blue Thunderbird logo with a 76 insignia. Later models still had the red white and blue bird, but without the 76.Specifications:One piece mahogany centerpieceMahogany wingsEbony  finishRosewood fretboard34 1/2 inch scale (actually three-eighths of an inch)Chrome plated pickup covers, bridge cover and finger restThunderbird humbucking pickupsLaminated pickguard with red, white and blue Thunderbird logoThis Bass Guitar has been stored in its case.
