Thanx for 'clearing' that up.It's a Dan Armstrong. You have to look closely.....

I have read that somewhere too, I have a '66 EB-2 that's darker than Cherry and have always wondered if it were Sparkling Burgundy, no pictures though. The paint is kind of blotchy now and shows the grain underneath in some places though which I doubt Burgundy would do.
I wonder if those pickups are the same as the one in my Les Paul Doublecut? If so, it’s really easy to swap them into chrome covers. That might be something to try…and more chrome is never a bad thing IMONeat A/B comparison. It’s definitely what I’m hearing with mine as well, the 2015 is generally a bit brighter with more detail in each note than my 2013.
However, correct me if I’m wrong, but I was under the impression the 2015 toggles were to cut from full humbucker to single coil on each individual pickup, not to go from series to parallel as implied in the YouTube clip. Also, sounded like the YouTuber recorded two sets of both/neck/bridge examples for the 2015 but he called both examples “series”. So not only is he mistaken about the switch functions but he didn’t correctly call out which example is which switch setting. Knit picking aside, it did accurately represent what I hear with my 2015 vs my Anniversary bird.
And now the interesting and odd ball quirk that I have with both my 2015 Tbird and my 2013 EB5 (which has the same pups) - if I play either bass for more than an hour straight I get a ripping migraine headache. None of my other basses have that effect on me even if I play them longer and louder. It’s really bizarre. Can’t explain why it happens. I sometimes wonder if there’s some sub sonic or possibly super high frequency or microphonic noise emitted from those pups or maybe a unique pressure spike at a specific frequency that I can’t readily hear but that somehow stresses out my ear drums. Doesn’t seem to effect my wife at all, just me.
The good news is I haven't heard any voices in my head yet telling me to buy more Thunderbirds.
Hola compadre. Donde vives en España? Mi familia es de un pueblo cerca de Salamanca.
One end of a phone conversation:
Hold a compartment.
Don's vibes on ESPN?
My family eats in public with a salamander.

Don't confuse the new guy. He may think we are all crazy and go buy a Fender.
Lo que natura non da, Salamanca non presta…
~1/2 of that is sorta true...maybe.Don't confuse the new guy. He may think we are all crazy and go buy a Fender.
Low key on the nature stuff. Don't press the salamander.
Holy Mackerel! Don't pick the daisies? My family distributes methamphetamine in New Mexico.
Naturally we all prefer the blue meth.
Probably the right take home...
Once you go Thunderbird, you never go back.and go buy a Fender.
And fools seldom differ.Great minds think alike.
Well, if all the translation material isn't initiation enough.
I don't know what is.

Is there another way to extract the salamander juice?
