I think the 3 pickup bass costs about $1000 more.

I was looking through that collection and really getting gassed. There are some amazing basses.

Absolutely. Some truly outstanding looking pieces there. Nothing I'll be buying anytime soon though.

I'm having a hard enough time working on my second Lull.

What would be the best way to fix the embossed Thunderbird emblem?

I think applying black paint with a very fine brush, but you'd need a very steady hand.
Based on looking at closeups, I think the Gibson ones are hand painted.

That's a Car! Funny looking fuel injectors though..... Probably doesn't get great MPG.







But who cares! Kinda the point.

I had a Tripower on a Pontiac 400 in a 68 Firebird. You could hear the fuel and air roaring into the intake manifold when stomping on it.

I have a dimarzio model one on the way.

I read on the interwebz that mudbuckers suck

Model Ones are amazing pickups.

A lot of those 442's were sleepers...you didn't realize you took on more then you could handle until you saw that little 442 badge go flying past your 327 SBC!

So are the 60's Mudbuckers! They're like anchovies...not everyone likes them but if you do and have the right rig it's a powerful beast!

The cousin that has Chrysler with a 440 in offered a similar experience. No way to replicate it, but it was cool hearing all those barrels open up and suck in the air, in addition to the engine itself.

From Jason at FN. Surprising enough, I kinda like it.

I would be happy with any of the 442s you have put up, including that one. In spite of the climate up here, I prefer tops that go down.
