My guess is that Tom Hamilton’s Gibson Thunderbird was sunburst, but if anybody has information, I would like to see a picture of this bass. Doug Wimbish of Living Colour has listed Tom Hamilton as an influence on his bass playing. Tom Hamilton is actually more recognizable of a bass player than you would think. He was using a Fender Precision Bass, a Fender Jazz Bass, and (around the time Draw The Line was released) a sunburst Music Man Stingray Bass, played through various forms of Ampeg amplifiers. I remember reading that he bought it because John Entwistle was one of his favorite bassists, and he also played a Gibson Thunderbird. Let’s dive deeper with research to find out what exactly makes the Thunderbird so good and so popular among the. It’s expensive, but it’s totally worth it. This guitar has everything that you need from a high quality bass the look, the sound and the feel. Chris Campbell (the bass player for Bob Seger) also played a Gibson Thunderbird bass. He also played a Strat on Uncle Salty and Sick As A Dog. Like when did he acquire it, what tracks or albums did he use it on, does he still have it in possession? The GT is a very good bass. The truth is that Gibson Thunderbird offers an amazing value for the money. I believe that Tom Hamilton was running his basses (especially on the Toys In The Attic and Rocks albums) through an MXR phaser. Lemmy I believe acquired this Thunderbird around the late 1960s.

He used it a lot in the seventies and eighties, mostly on the tours for Get Your Wings, Rock In A Hard Place and Done With Mirrors, but I have always wanted to know more about his T-bird. Gold knobs, the white pickguard found on most Gibson Thunderbird basses, and it is a sunburst Gibson Thunderbird.
