Overview

34-inch standard-scale five-string P-Style Thunderhorse V with basswood body, hand-painted Lavender finish, three passive EMG 40HZ pickups, 12-way rotary selector and 18V active Tilt EQ with passive bypass. Ships without batteries installed. This is a current in-stock McGrath instrument, photographed as an individual build rather than a generic catalog model.

Why Players Choose This

This model keeps the familiar 34-inch scale while bringing the Thunderhorse switching system into a comparatively light 8.8 lb five-string. Players who prefer standard-scale tension can keep that feel while gaining three pickups, extensive routing options and a passive emergency path if the active system loses power.

Key Features

  • 34-inch standard-scale five-string P-Style Thunderhorse V
  • Hand-painted Lavender finish with pearl and high-gloss topcoat
  • Basswood body; listed at 8.8 lbs

  • McGrath Tilt EQ and master tone
  • 18V active system with push-pull passive bypass

Why TCU Recommends This

This is a strong fit for a working bassist who wants boutique build quality but still prioritizes reliability and stage practicality. The bass is not dependent on the active circuit to finish a set, the case is included, and the control system offers far more range than a conventional two-pickup layout.
