Hipshot Extender for Thunderbird

Hello,

Before posting this I've searched here without success, so I turn to you.

I want to install a Hipshot Extender on my new Gibson Thunderbird IV, but do they make one for the Tbird? I didn't see any on their website. Will one of the few "generic" Extenders do the job, such as the HE6Y or GB7?

Most appreciative if one/some of you guys can steer me in the proper direction.

My God, he hits me with the most obvious! Thank you for that, reaching for the phone.

Just a follow-up FYI for any others interested in putting a Hipshot on their Thunderbird. They emailed me (when I called they were closed) and wrote "The model you will need for your bass would be our GB7 Bass Xtender. This should be a direct replacement for your stock tuner."
