Hmmm, look at these pickups advertised as Probucker 760s. They have the sticker on top, but they don't have Epiphone engraved on the bottom plate. Do the pickups in the Tbird 64 have the Epiphone on the bottom?

From Aliexpress? I would bet they are knockoffs of some kind. I wouldn't buy anything from that website and expect otherwise. It doesn't mean they are not any good, just that they probably aren't what they say they are.
A cheap Fakenbacker or something like that as a mod platform might be fun from there.
For sure its a "buyer beware" place! Somehow the guitar Probucker 760s have the Epiphone logo on the bottom.

The Epiphone '64 (China built) Birds do not have the "760" label on the bottom.

It is justified to be skeptical... I was the recipient of a pu scam, so yes - it happens.

I took a roundabout sort of trip to Mike Lull's today to pick up my EB-3, not a bad for November here in Seattle. While at Lull's I had the pleasure of chatting with Spencer about T4s and the TPT4 that George picked up recently. He knew exactly which bass it was, and that The Bass Shop had sold it, as evidently there are very, very, few of them in existence. Which led to him telling me that a total of only 105 T4s were made counting the TPT4 production, so any Lull is going to be a rare one, might be a good idea to hang onto a T4 if you have one,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Spencer asked that if I were to ever wish to sell mine that I bring it back to the shop as they'd be first to want to buy it.

I'm guessing this and the above reply is a soft "no"?
It's one of those basses you see and just want to play it.
