| | | | Gibson's new non reverse thunderbirds can look cool too.
I'm almost finished with this one....it really has that 60's vibe now....I just love nickel hardware on these.   |

| | | | I used the factory pickups but stripped off the black plastic covers and replaced them with the nickel. |

Funny, i just recently stripped my epi reverse tbird of all the black hardware and went chrome. I have ivory emg's in it but wished it had the chrome/nickel pups like yours. I just picked up a bridge cover on ebay for it too. |

Getting the 2 piece bridge tailpiece,and chrome parts went a long way in bringing it back to a classic original look. And reversing the output jack and 3rd pot was an easy fix that corrected what i thought was one of the most bizarre looking arrangements on the new bass. What were they thinking? Now you're making me want to get one,so i will ask,how are the necks and the weight on these? |
