    Thinking of making a semi hollow jazz bass body with tv jones. Opinions?

    Hi. I have been thinking a while to make a jazz bass semi hollow mohagony body with maybe different top (thinking laminated maple) with a pair of tv jones thundermags that I already have. I have a Adam Clayton jazz bass neck that I got off eBay a while back which is very light, and a fender...

    Bisonic or Thunderbird pickups on a Fenderbird?

    Looks great. Was it easy to fit them in? I am thinking of replacing my neck pickup in my epiphone embassy with a bisonic pickup.
