McGrath Thunderhorse IV - Whiskey River

This bass was hand painted by Madelyn McGrath.

This Thunderhorse 4 has been hand painted in a finish we are calling Whiskey River, it has a satin coat to preserve the finish.

The roasted flamed maple neck and stainless steel frets take it up another notch.

It features our new Thumper cavity system and Master Mute push pull switch.

A collaboration with the bass channel has led to this beast of a bass. The bass features three pickups, all Lollar. The neck has a thunderbird pickup for lowend and warmth. In the middle is a classic P for that mid punch and growl. The bridge pickup is a Jazz style for that glassy top end. There are 3 volumes and 1 tone. This bass takes the idea of the workhorse P and ramps it up several levels.

The premium Lollar pickups are why this bass is more expensive.
