Built for NAMM 2026 – Available Now

Since the beginning, it has been a goal of ours to provide premium instruments for left-handed players. This Thunderhorse is the first-ever McGrath Guitars lefthanded bass available for purchase. Built as a showpiece for NAMM 2026, this is a rare opportunity to own a world-class instrument with a classic aesthetic and modern performance. The price will be in line with right handed models after Namm.

Tone & Electronics

For this first lefty build, I wanted to keep the electronics classic and powerful. It features a versatile EMG trio paired with a high-headroom 18V system.

Pickups: EMG TBHZ, Reverse PHZ, and JHZ configuration.
Preamp: EMG BQ30 3-band EQ.
Controls: Master Volume (Push/Push for Active/Passive bypass) and Switchcraft sliders for precise pickup selection.
Power: 18V system powered by two 9V batteries, easily accessible from the back.

Premium Wood & Construction

Body: One-piece Mahogany. I chose mahogany for its rich, warm resonance and incredible weight relief.
Weight: An ultra-comfortable 7.4 lbs—perfect for long sets and studio sessions.
Neck: Roasted Flame Maple neck and fretboard for superior stability and a smooth feel. 12" radius and 1.5" nut width.
Frets: Durable Stainless Steel
Stability: Dual carbon reinforcement rods with a two-way spoke nut truss rod.

Aesthetics & Hardware

Finish: Our fan-favorite "Black Sands," hand-painted by Madelyn with a matching headstock.

Pickguard: Simulated anodized black for a sleek, industrial look.
