In fact, visually Thunderbird doesn't match the style of Mammas & The Pappas.
At first glance it claims more 70s rock.
Now I've realized that need to look for and practice more songs from this period, to put Tbird to good use.
That said, wait for me on next days, or next weekend![]()
A lot.your results may vary...

From left to right.
I like the Hipshot,
But I’m a sworn believer in a 2 piece.
So that would be the mod for that guy.
#2 needs new pick ups.
The Precision needs a new neck and some form of Humbucker in the P position.

1) Can do, but not invisibly - not a 'drop-in' solution.
2) easy
3) new neck is doable - "some form of Humbucker in the P position"... then it wouldn't be a P-bass. Can do.., but the obvious question is why when you already have 2 T-birds?
I rest my case.That's what people not in cults say.
What’s wrong with au natural? Sexy as is.
What’s funny to me is the people that go to great lengths to keep old MIJ guitars/basses original when they restore them.
I would much rather have a highly functional instrument than one that’s got 100% original parts, but won’t stay in tune or can’t be set up properly.

Same here, requires a YouTube account, which ain’t gonna happen on this end.can't access it
Since it is still T-shirt Sunday, I want to leave you all with one last thought of the day. Especially appropriate for this group.

Or refused to look?I didn't see that...

Maybe they are confusing your browsing history with @WillyW ?Ok, this is gonna sound whack.
But why am I getting ads for scandalous beach pictures and slippers?
Like pink furry slippers. WT7!!!
Decided it was time to put the VP back in a case - and swap it with the CP that was keeping the case warm.....
....and I noticed something I hadn't really paid much attention to before:

Speaking of which, what specs would tell me if the CP I’m picking up tomorrow is considered a 2013? Manufacturing date is 2/14 but given other strange Gibson/Epiphone serial numbers….I have to ask.
Aside from the weight difference.
Is your CP a 2013?
