How interesting. So, Gibson telling my shop they're sending the "correctly potted" pickups seems a bit misleading . . . Are they simply gonna put another pair of the same units in there floating around?

Did they ask for the old pickups back?How interesting. So, Gibson telling my shop they're sending the "correctly potted" pickups seems a bit misleading . . . Are they simply gonna put another pair of the same units in there floating around?
Interested video. I was originally under the assumption the Rex pups were a custom EMG product. When EDP posted photos of the back of his pickups I was shocked to see they were marked EB bass. I already have those pickups in two different basses and although they sound nice they are far from my favorite TBird option. If I were to purchase a Rex I’d probably go the same route on pickups as the YouTube guy went. Thanks for posting.

I didn't know you had one! Sweet!
It's raining like a MF here in Seattle.
Played the 7enderbird at rehearsal last night, it's pretty sweet but I'm not loving the strings so much - SIT Fusion Nickel, a little soft and not enough clank, mark it up as experience.
Are you thinking of trying the Power Steels?I didn't know you had one! Sweet!

I was wondering about that…..How interesting. So, Gibson telling my shop they're sending the "correctly potted" pickups seems a bit misleading . . . Are they simply gonna put another pair of the same units in there floating around?
Good to know. I’ve wondered about the Fusion Wound Stainless.I didn't know you had one! Sweet!

In my experience very little difference from the Power Steels. Same string, other than that fusion process.

I may, but the strings that were on it, were really nice sounding - they had different colored ball ends?
Much as I really like Power Steels, the Fusion Nickel (or whatever SIT calls them) do not sound like Power Steels at all, pretty bland, really.
Sorry, I meant the Fusion Steel (FKA RB Stainless).
the wife working up in the city a couple of days a week….I tag along and work from the hotel since I’m remote anyway…I didn't know you had one! Sweet!

Not enough lasting clank from the RS66 - they sounded nice on your BaCH, they were new
The neck is still at Thunder Road Guitars, forgot about it when the bass was picked up. It is a Cataldo neck that has had it's back sanded, I think @semiprohooker spoke up about wanting first, but once I have back I'll shoot some pics for him and see if the interest is still there.
Stock neck.

I think he used All Parts necks for his builds, but I could be wrong about that.
Colored ball ends usually means D’Addario.

I think you are correct - consistently high quality necks.

That really does not suck at all.
