Basses with Thunderbird Pickups

[jcidulka]

Very curious to know which basses have either Thunderbird pickups, or pickups with same specs as a t bird pickup.

Looking for makes and models besides:

Gibson Thunderbird
Epiphone Thunderbird

Very interested in the tone, but looking for an axe with better ergonomics.

Thx!!

Gibson /Tobias "American"

Not many were made

As far as I know it's the only passive Tobias

Here's my '87 Gibson IV, all mahogany, set neck and sporting the first year TB+ pickups, same as a TBird. Designed to compete with a P bass with the neck profile a bit flatter and a 1 5/8" nut. It's a Clark Kent TBird in every way and sounds just as incredible. I am really glad I grabbed it.

There are also LP's with TB+ pickups that looked the same and later went to chrome covers and a Bart pre.

Epiphone Embassy, of course!
Seriously, $499, why look further?
Thoughts on the Modern Epiphone Embassy?

This looks cool:

For Sale/Trade - Fano JM4 Standard w/Lollars

No affiliation.

I love my Embassy.
Thunderbird without neck dive.

Mike Lull makes great basses with their own proprietary Tbird pickups.
