I just happened upon it one day, check this out from live from New Years Eve, 1965, no photos though but he was the bassist.
Just so I understand, you have 2 Tbirds, a 2013 and a 2018, that sound quite different, even though the pickups “should” be the same?
AFAIK the 2018 pickups should be just as “modern” sounding. You have already eliminated the tone control right? The only other thing to try would be to wire each pu directly to an output jack - just in case there’s something else going on. It’s unlikely, I would try it.

I've seen stills from this but this is the first time I've seen movie footage, classic stuff! The drummer is great!
Nah. If was an upright, it woulda been over the other shoulder-with the other hand.
The late Gary Driscoll.

Yes. The 18 is very bassy, boomy, dark compared to the 13
Sorry, I thought you'd said at one point that they sounded the same. So other than playing with pots and capacitors, I wonder if getting a used set of 2013 TB+ would fix that. That is, assuming the pickups are in fact different.
Try a cap change to .022uf. Worked great for my bird. Opened it right up.
It would be an interesting experiment to swap the pickups between the 2013 and 2018 to see what happens.
I really liked SOS, brings back good memories too, Dancing Queen isn't bad either.....ducks, looking around..........Hey I even like some of the early 60's stuff that everyone always says is schlock. This was a little before my time, I learned about this stuff from my rock n roll aunt.
Actually this was early schlock- 1958
Dancing Queen was all right!
Until we moved from El Paso, I hadn't heard too much rock and roll. Not long after we moved, at age 11, I learned about some bits of rock and roll from the 14 y/o girl next door, and more from a 15(?) y/o cousin. I discovered the local top 40 station; at the time such stations played music that was all over the map, with (potentially) the Carpenters and Jimi Hendrix back to back. Then my parents bought a small house nearby as a rental property. The former tenant left *everything* behind. Thousands of books, dozens of albums, and hundreds of 45 - almost all Motown and other black rock or related music. Len Berry, the Supremes, James brown, the Temptations, and many more. I was drowning in amazing music. Still am.
