The Lulls have more top? That sounds better to me.

Has anyone done a comparison or review of Thunderbird pickups currently available on the market and if so where it can be found?
Thanks in advance.

Probably what happened to the Greco in Edmonton.
Pardon me because I'm a newbie; but what is a piano tone?
I've read this expression, but I couldn't decipher what tone is like?
If more bass, medium, treble.
I read, mahogany body, maple neck in the translated version of this that I can’t seem to find right now….

I know the bass player through other bass players, he is well known for selling basses, amps, pedals; I didn't get to go into more detail with him about this Thunderbird Pro. Through the Instagram account (where he advertises the most), I asked what color, he didn't answer; on saturday or sunday i found the bass on a local ad network (like eBay) and there he replied "green".
When I found it, there were already others interested in the bass, and one was about to buy it.
I believe that if I had asked more details about pickups and everything elese, he would have answered.
And by the way, this is the second Thunderbird I've seen him advertise, the other was also a Pro, natural finish.
Now goes in portuguese, so use translator: graças ao bom lord, e para o bem das minhas finanças, ainda bem que ele vendeu logo.
My example is Fender's PV63 Jazz pu's. (Pure Vintage) Fender sold them for a while and then stopped. They are highly sought after for being great sounding J pu's. I have the PV74's in a J (still available) and they also sound good - but the general consensus is that the PV63 set is the bomb. (they come on a few of their basses - I played one in a music store and they do indeed sound good) How would I know, even if placed inside the original case/box if they were in fact PV63 J pu's? I wouldn't know by looks is the answer and other than a few minutes in a music store - I wouldn't be able to identify them by sound. They never come up for sale anymore anyway, but I would love to get a real set to compare to my PV74's to hear the difference. (as in... maybe more hype than real - who knows?)
I think those Greco pick ups sound close to side winders.
And agreed on the Lulls.
Those are top of the heap for me.
@JIO may.
it has the same looking pickups and bridge cover as my old Japanese bass. So my guess is…. An old Japanese bass.
Asking $200. If he responds I might pull the trigger.

It's a Decca or related brand. Before buying make certain the neck is straight. It wouldn't be work much if the neck is bowed or twisted.

This fella here, pretty much. More so if you use a pick.
Here with the rest of the band for context.
