During his tenure with the legendary metal band Pantera, Rex Brown's thunderous walking bass lines provided the perfect bedrock for Dimebag Darrell's manic guitar solos. Rex is also celebrated for distinguished stints with Down, Kill Devil Hill, and NOLA's premier sludge metal institution, Crowbar. The Epiphone Rex Brown Signature Thunderbird is carved from a generous slab of mahogany, with a comfortable 9-ply through-body neck and an easy-playing Indian laurel fingerboard. A pair of explosive ProBucker 760 passive humbucking bass pickups arm you with heavy-hitting bass tones. A Babicz FCH bridge and die-cast Mini-Clover tuning machines provide rock-solid stability. You also get plenty of exclusive Rex Brown appointments, including a signature-emblazoned headstock and a logo-imprinted rear control cover. Gleaming gold hardware and a near-bulletproof polyurethane finish round out the Rex Brown Thunderbird. Anyone searching for a smoking-hot electric bass guitar with classic looks and a delightfully vulgar tone will groove on the Epiphone Rex Brown Signature Thunderbird.





Packed with exclusive Rex Brown appointments





The Epiphone Rex Brown Signature Thunderbird comes loaded with a fine assortment of the former Rex Rocker's preferred extras. For starters, this electric bass is a pleasure to rock out on, thanks to its 9-ply, "C"-profile, through-body neck, and easy-playing Indian laurel fingerboard. Its Babicz FCH 3-point bridge and die-cast Mini-Clover tuning machines ensure rock-solid intonation. You also get a high-quality brass nut and classic dot fingerboard inlays. This attention-grabbing Thunderbird vaunts head-turning gold hardware, plus Rex's signature on the back of its headstock and a logo-adorned rear control cover. A mere five minutes alone with the Rex Brown Thunderbird is all it took for us here at Sweetwater ? we're having a hard time putting it down.

Great tone from dual passive humbucking pickups





The Epiphone Rex Brown Signature Thunderbird delivers colossal output with serious levels of low-end punch, courtesy of its ProBucker 760 humbucking bass pickups. You can coax a near-endless range of sonic textures out of this electric bass guitar. To begin with, you get a separate volume knob for each pickup, giving you access to blended pickup tones you can't achieve with a traditional 3-way pickup selector. You also get a master tone control for dialing in the perfect amount of top-end snap.
