Bird bass

I think it's pretty clear that Gibson won't be unveiling other new stuff except for the signature models which have been done. Maybe they have other strategies since there's no Live NAMM show this time round. The consolation here is the non-reverse Thunderbird bass done in Pelham Blue. OK...

Gene Simmons is now collaborating with Gibson for a new range of basses. These will be called the G² range of instruments & would extend into the Epiphone & Kramer brands as well as streamed online entertainment content. From the initial images released by Gibson, we note the bass pickguard is devoid of the Thunderbird icon.
