There will be two VPs with SIT Power Flats. A stock VP and Will's that I am modifying with Seymour Duncan Custom Shop pickups with the bridge pickup in the '64 position.I'll be good with whatever is on whatever basses.
But this time, i'd like to give your VP with flats a go.
You told me what's on it, i just don't remember.
But your fingers willFlats shall not touch basses of mine, good sir!![]()
Once again, my thanks to Jeff for turning me on to EBCFs. I'm currently running set 2814(45/65/80/100)on the 67 NR. Really liking them. Prolly get another set-in a coupla years when the SIT Power Flats wear out-for the Embassy.
Kinda the same ole broken record.
They are the closest string to sound like rounds.
They don't eat frets, And they last, for me anyway.
And depending on break in time, they don't go totally dead.
And i use their lightest gauge Donnie 40-95.
It's that, ymmv thing.![]()
Each of my(5)basses has its own dedicated strap.All my straps are Dunlop equipped. Standardization is key to OCD![]()

The one I have loose is 9.84K, the one in a bass measures 8.16K at the jack. And Gibsons are 8.2K hmmm...Interesting. The ChinaBucker looks very similar to the Gibson pickup on the back plate, nothing like the Epiphone ProBucker. I'm still surprised that Gibson didn't stamp their name in the plate like Eppi did, seems ripe for counterfeiting. Other thing that surprises me is nowhere on the Gibby pup does it say made in the USA (or anywhere else for that matter) but it does imply USA mfg on the box.
Any idea what the resistance value of the ChinaBucker is? I know they make both a neck and bridge pickup with different resistances.
Yeah. They could buy old-growth Honduran mahogany from a source in America. That's the ticket!The one I have loose is 9.84K, the one in a bass measures 8.16K at the jack. And Gibsons are 8.2K hmmm...
About a year ago there was a Thunderbird pickup on eBay described as being from a new NR. Looking at the pictures, I couldn't determine that it wasn't a ChinaBucker.
The boxes my Tbird Reissue pickups came in say they are handcrafted in Nashville. It could be that Gibson sources the parts in Asia. It's not like they need to comply with Build America Buy America.
There was no interest in it.
And @Chucky Stiletti was my voice of reason to wind up keeping it.
I'm glad I kept it cause it's a really great bass.
I am a staunch Rounds player but Willy turned me on to Pyramid Gold Flats and I like the variety of sound and feel. I like both now and Miles gave me a set for my Epi 60's Bird. I like them!Nothing but Rounds here at Casa V, you'd better work on your callouses!
