Description

The Orville Thunderbird in Ebony is a bold, no-nonsense bass that channels the raw power and attitude of one of rock’s most iconic designs. Built in Japan under Gibson’s official license in the late ’80s and ’90s, Orville instruments have earned a cult following for their exceptional build quality and vintage-correct specs—and this Thunderbird is a perfect example.

With its reverse body shape, neck-through mahogany construction, and deep cutaways, it offers serious stage presence along with rich sustain and a tight, thunderous low end. A pair of Thunderbird-style humbuckers delivers that signature growl with cutting mids and punchy clarity, while the stripped-down control layout keeps things intuitive and gig-ready.

This pre-owned example is in excellent condition, with a sleek ebony finish and fast, comfortable neck that makes it a joy to play. Whether you're driving a rock set or laying down heavy grooves in the studio, the Orville Thunderbird delivers classic tone, serious attitude, and standout craftsmanship.
