Yes...exactly...I realize there aren't P90 equivalent pickups, but I was just curious if the Thunderbird went through transitional changes, too, like non-reverse headstock on a reverse body, etc.... Thanks for responding!

Pro'lly been asked before, but was there ever a transitional Thunderbird, as the Firebird transitioned? Was always curious about that...

Anyone know why they're closing?

"This thread needs an update..." I always felt it should be a forum unto itself...related to TB, but wow, there's plenty of us to cover the 'Bird alone. "Guess what's going on with my pick?" ...uuummm, back seat, I'm guessing? Because of my primarily being a guitar player with a couple of...

Big things come from small places... Great group!

Phenomenal bassist in my ears...Great drummer, as well...saw some YouTube vids of him drumming...he's often said hi bass playing is nothing more than percussive.

I'll get us one... I was looking at Frahlin's YouTube video and they compare by thickness, skinnier than Gibson's...I'm curious if they sound thinner than...Ox's sound was pretty piano-like at times, growly at others... Stay tuned...

They came with them...I just didn't put them on yet...first the sound...then tack 'em in... Pictures will follow when done... Thanks TB58! Here's a couple screenshots of the listing...

Oh-oo, you talked me into it...dug out the 'bird and took a few pics of where it's at right now...pickups bought, cavities routed (and then some...oops...got putty)...just waiting to take time to do it at the new house. I hooked the hot wire in the middle rivet of the volume controls, dry...

Take a look at my av for starters...they (separately, yet, bought together) came with tuners, jack, pots 'n' pickguard...I want nickel or chrome tuners, as the black isn't my preferred "motif"...more pics to come...in the process of moving these days, as mentioned earlier...

BTW, in reference to your unfamiliarity with the Performance pickups, they were "touted" as being the ones used "by John Entwistle of the Who"... I figured, "eh...why not?" I got the 'Bird as a neck and body purchase on the Eeb...some assembly required (all?)... That led me to my previous...

Hey, thanks, All...once I understood the acronyms it made sense...I have a VVT, simple T-Bird setup...no strings (really...not yet :laugh:), simple...I just never have done a tree-bee before... Thank you everyone! (Moving out of Dasher House doesn't make it easier right now, either...) D

Sorry, expand the above quote...

(...are we SURE this couldn't be a self-standing forum...? :laugh:) OK...I got this T-Bird bass I'm ready to wire up with Performance pickups...looked for a diagram...no, it's not a Pro IV setup...so I find a diagram and it shows a toggle switch in the works...T-birds don't DO toggles, do they...

Nice! My take: "You're too pushy, get a grip...I don't want you either...!" >CLICK!< Nice going!
