Thunderhorse - J-Style - Vice City - 8.3lb

The J-Style body shape represents a new chapter in the McGrath range. Designed as a functional art piece, it features deep, ergonomic contours and a perfectly balanced profile engineered to eliminate neck dive. The sculpted heel provides effortless access to the higher register, ensuring the full scale is at your fingertips.

While the J-Style offers the same deep customization found in our Rebel and P-Style models, the Thunderhorse name now specifically denotes our signature three pickup configuration originally developed in collaboration with The Bass Channel.

This specific build features a vibrant "Vice City" finish inspired by the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto VI.

Triple Threat Tone

This instrument is a tonal powerhouse featuring a trio of DiMarzio Billy Sheehan Signature Relentless pickups. These are high output tonal masterpieces. The neck pickup offers a warm, wooly punch. The middle pickup delivers that signature growl. The bridge pickup provides a glassy snap from its 70s positioning.

This is a passive bass featuring three individual volumes and a master tone. The electronics utilize premium CTS pots, including a push-pull master mute on the first volume knob and an Orange Drop .047uF tone capacitor.

Built for Performance

Every detail is designed for the modern player. We moved the neck pickup back 3/8 of an inch, creating a dedicated landing zone for slap players without sacrificing that deep, low end neck position.

The foundation is a resonant, lightweight Solid Mahogany body paired with a stunning Roasted Flame Maple neck. For road-worthy reliability, the neck is reinforced with carbon fiber rods and utilizes a two way spoke nut truss rod for effortless, on the fly adjustments.

The bass shown in the pictures is the exact instrument you will receive. Each of our builds is a unique, one of one creation. McGrath is a two person team based in San Diego, California, and we put our heart and soul into every build.
