About the Thunders Bass

The only bass Rock N Roll Relics build, and the bass counterpart to their Thunders guitar. A short-scale instrument on a 30.5-inch scale with 20 medium Jescar frets (.047" x .095"), a 12-inch fingerboard radius, a 1.5-inch Graph Tech nut and a .8-inch neck profile at the first fret. Body in mahogany, korina or a flame top; neck in mahogany, maple or korina; fingerboard in rosewood, Macassar ebony or ebony with dot inlays. Lollar pickups feed CTS 500K pots and paper-and-oil .022 capacitors. Advanced Plating bridge assembly, Graph Tech Ratio tuners, Dunlop strings, and a choice of 5-ply black, parchment, tortoise or 1-ply black pickguard with nickel, bell or speed knobs. Finished in nitrocellulose lacquer and relic'd — aged finishes are the shop's speciality. Ships in a TKL hardshell case with a certificate of authenticity, picks, shop rag, spec tags and sticker. Built to order in North Hollywood, California; no list price is published, orders go through the shop or a dealer. String count is not stated by the maker; recorded as 4 on the basis of the 1.5-inch nut width and the vintage short-scale specification.
