Greetings! I've searched, and I think this hasn't been covered yet. I'm searching for some creamy, vintage sounding pickups for my Cimar by Ibanez precision bass. From some youtube shoot-out's that I've heard, the ones I liked the most so far have been the American Vintage '58 Split...

Don't know if anyone has done this yet (if so, delete this), but I find this essential and relevant. I'll start: There's no reason to play metal with a Les Paul bass. It's pointless.

Ok Mr. TBird1959, I guess it's about time for me to join the club. TBird Studio 5'er here, on custom SSteel pickguard and truss cover, drawn by moi meme. Link Removed I can haz number?

Doesn't really matter. Both onstage and one would instantly implode. And the girls would wet themselves to death.

Is the neck thicker like a 5 string T-Bird? What about sondwise?

Well, but... in the end of the day, which violin IS best for metal?

Thanks Mr TBird!! I have found myself falling onto that downward spiral too, as I can't think of any other basses than the Tbird, heheh! It's really is addictive! But yeah, so do I have this little crush on some hollowbodies, although I don't think I'll do pretty well with their sound...

Greetings TBird1958! Heheheh, for the first time I can't tell if that was a compliment or not. I'm portuguese, so a bit short on english skills =) Anyway, I do realize that I'm generalizing a bit on my statement. I to believe Gibson Tbirds fit well other styles and sounds else...

Quite honestly, after so many threads about the Thunderbird, either Gibson or not, and adding the fact that I own one, i really think that is basically comes to this: If You're into rock, and You have the money, go for the Gibson - its got the most charateristic tone of the all, and either...

Should have been in bands with lots of hot groupies... now I don't fit the profile, and neither could take profit from it... f***!! :smug: Shouldn't have passed that chance of buying the Pbass special to my friend. Should have bought the regular Tbird IV to tune BEAD instead of the 5'er...

Honestly, don't know.. The guy uses a long-horn type of bass live, never knew if it was the original Danelectro one or a custom made, because it was very big! Anyway, I'll try to find out.

Don't tempt me!.. :D I'd kill for a classic white one!

Yeah, I've been pretty much into this one, since the old 5 string deluxe was discontinued. Though I'd tottaly prefer this version: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] .. with a black pickguard.. :eek: Goddamit... I guess these would have the perfect vintage, old sound I like, but in...

That's waht I've though too, but any model in particular? I recall hearing a mustang and liking the sound a lot, so maybe those '51 style ones, no? I must say I love the 51's aesthetics! So F***'ing rude! :cool:

I'll check a local store for one, and try that.
