Can’t get the clip to play.

TalkBass' embedding isn't... great. Click the download button at the left to download and then listen to it.

Man, you must be one hard rockin player! First your bridge pup screw comes loose then your A string saddle comes loose, what’s next, a snapped G string?

Playing it live here........

Most pictures I've seen of Becker playing bass, he's had the T-Bird, he was a very good bassist as well as guitarist.

Love, love, love the grain on that ThunderJag!


2015 does the coil split but those pups aren’t anything like any other Tbird pup. I don’t know about all Tbird pups out there, but all the ones I’ve pulled were a simple hot and ground wire config, so coil splitting won’t work unless you open the pup up and rewire it (prolly not gonna happen with the epoxy fill pups). Chinabuckers are a two wire type as well.

EDIT: I see GBassNorth beat me to it.

I'm starting to get the impression you really rock that bass like an animal to be vibrating pu screws and saddles loose.

Hmmm, strange. Seems to work fine to me.

It’s Thursday I know, and I’ve posted this before. But that Ripper was one of my best basses ever. Alas. Way gone like all the others.

I was very close to getting the ABM115 too. Not sure if I really need it but it would make a pretty great rig with the Hiwatt or two L2's.
Maybe I will one day as the prices aren't very high. One could live permanently at the rehearsal space until the next stadium gig.

That cat is a rock star! Looks like he could play with these dudes. And that's a complement.

Every fedex package they ship me they fold in half first. That includes the subframe connectors also. Had to cut them and reweld them straight
