1987 Gibson IV. This may look like the umpteenth P-bass clone at first sight, it is actually much closer to a Thunderbird than you would think. An all mahogany bass with a set neck and TB+ pickups. Controls are similar to the T-bird, Volume, Volume , Tone. There are a few headstrong features however: the fretboard is ebony with off-center dotted position markers and the headstock has a 2 x 2 lay-out.
The IV (and the very similar 5 string V) were only built between 1987 and 1989.
The IV is featured on page 90 of The Gibson Bass Book
(the V is on page 91).

Santa has been jonesing for a 1963 Thunderbird, ever since he laid eyes on the Gibson Bass Book. If your presents are late this year, it's because he can't put the book away.
