P-Style Thunderhorse 5- Whiskey - 8.6 lbs
McGrath Thunderhorse V - Whiskey - 8.6 lbs
These Nordstand Pickups take a long time to get and we wont have another like this for at least 6 months.
This Thunderhorse V was engineered for players who love the punch of a triple "P" style configuration but crave a cleaner, more sophisticated aesthetic. Finished in a hand-painted Whiskey finish with a classic tortoise shell pickguard and nickel hardware, this bass strikes a perfect balance between vintage class and modern versatility.
Key Features
Wombo Combo: Equipped with three Nordstrand Big Split pickups, each with its own dedicated Switchcraft on/off slider for endless tonal combinations. The neck pickup has been moved back 3/8" to allow more room for slapping.
Premium Electronics: Powered by a Nordstrand 3B Preamp running at 18V for massive headroom. The master volume features a push/pull switch for true Active/Passive bypass.
Built for Performance: A lightweight, resonant solid mahogany body paired with a roasted flame maple neck. The 1.8" nut width and stainless steel frets ensure maximum comfort and speed.
Rock-Solid Stability: Features carbon fiber reinforcement rods and a two-way spoke nut truss rod for effortless adjustments.
