Thunderbird Club

Someone needs a trip to the doggie spa...

She already had that day, she looks unbrushed because she's a masochist and insists on playing with me, so brushing her fur lasts looking good like 5 minutes, so...

Love those inlays (stickers?). Always killed me that the Thunderbird get the boring dot inlays.

Also noticed the Bell sticker. I had a Bell helmet.

Yes they are inlay stickers.Gibson does the real inlays on firebirds..Us Bass players are the step children I guess..

I don't think I knew there were Bartolini pickups for Thunderbird. Anyone have any experience with them? They go for around $95 each on Reverb.

4-String Vintage Gibson - T4CBC - Bartolini Pickups & Electronics

They say they are for Vintage Gibson, yet the screw holes look like they would fit an Epi IV.

Not truly a fan of the natural finish, must be that I'm more of a 70's guy but Sunburst is what catches my attention, failing that usually antique cherry does the trick.

What's the middle one?

They say they are for Vintage Gibson, yet the screw holes look like they would fit an Epi IV.

For some reason they were always like that with the 3 screw pattern, even tho they were supposed to be direct drop-in replacements for the 2-screw Gibson pickups.

If only they would make them in chrome or nickel!
