This Thunderhorse V is a medium-scale battleship of tone. Its medium-scale neck is fast and comfortable, providing effortless playability without sacrificing the powerful low-end punch of the low B string.
At NAMM 2026, our medium-scale 5-strings were a major hit; players were blown away by the warmth and fullness of the low end and by just how easy and comfortable the bass is to play.
This bass represents the pinnacle of our craftsmanship, blending premium materials with a versatile, high-output electronics suite.
Signature Sound & Electronics Engineered for maximum tonal flexibility, this model features:
Pickups: Three EMG 40hz passive pickups for a massive, punchy foundation.
Preamp: An EMG BQ30 3-band preamp for precision tone shaping.
Control Layout: Switchcraft pickup selection sliders paired with a CTS volume pot featuring a Push/Pull Active-Passive switch, our favorite configuration for on-the-fly versatility.
Premium Construction The Thunderhorse V isn’t just built to play, it’s built to last and look stunning on stage.
Body & Neck: A rich Mahogany body paired with a stable, resonant roasted flame maple neck.
Hardware: Professional-grade Leo Quan Badass Nickel hardware and durable stainless steel frets.
Finish: A striking, custom Black Sands finish, hand-painted by Madelyn McGrath.
Aesthetics: Topped off with our custom simulated anodized black pickguard for a sleek, cohesive look.
