Thunderbird Club

[Bassmike62]

On the Thunderbird front... Met the luthier this morning, cool guy, with a profesionnal workshop, quite impressive. Going for the tone cap change and white finish, keeping the black Goth PG. With the white logo and black electronics, should look something like this. Hopefully will get it back for the Holidays.

It belonged to a studio musician, and had 2 separate circuits with separate outputs. Since he was a studio guy it had no tone control. It also had Lollar Js.

I bought it complete body only, and added a 1 piece vintage spec P neck , and replaced the Mexican P PUPs with a Lollar P. I had a custom wiring harness made using CTS, a J/P/JP toggle, series/parallel for the J, and a tone. So I guess it's one of a kind.

Thanks! Here's Mike Tilka's modded Fender,:

We can take carpet bombing of bass porn all day any day--and not even feel dirty afterwards.

Feeling dirty is a bad thing?

They're looking for high end Hifi owners, some of them will spend ridiculous amounts of money.......I'm just jealous.

conversation piece like a ‘64 Puligny Montrachet…

My project in waiting:

A cheap Epiphone bridge pickup to a cheap no-name J-body to that excact position. Why, you might ask? Because of Richard Sinclair.
He had a similar mod circa '75 in Hatfield & The North and his sound is so great in their "The Rotters' Club" album so I have no option than to just try it. If it doesn't work for me I can always add some T-bird pickups around it to fill the nasty empty holes.

Super Saturday. Playing bass through a new cab and bottling my next batch of beer.

Dimarzio model one?

Yep. I've had one in several basses, it's consistently a favorite pickup.

 

[Count Bassie]

Looks like a Dimarzio One pickup. It will sound great.

It's working out well, yes!

Sad to say......they're just fretboard stickers

1970 Marshall Major, came in both bass and lead models, this is a lead, change around a few components and it switches to a bass model, I may do that.

The plexi lead vs bass we’re the same way but I can’t figure out which parts ‘bass’ify it

They're cool. And they are an expression of you. So, you're cool.
