I think Darkglass has a pedal for those. It sounds bitchin’.
I think it’s the metric spelling.
I really need to come hang out.

Thinking of finally grabbing my first TBird. I'm planning to get my feet wet with an Epi, either a Classic IV or the new Vintage Pro. If I go with the former (due to availability and impatience), is it possible/easy to swap out those black plastic pickup covers with chrome or some other vintage-y metal thing? I'd much prefer the look, and I am a shallow, hollow shell of a human being (bassist). Also, are we all still in love with the Classic IV, as everyone was a couple of years ago when I last researched this? Seems like a solid buy.
You have come to the right place to fuel a raving chrome addiction.
Dude my fridge is never empty and it never gets lonely. My equipment is always ready to rumble, we roll like that. And boy can we roll. We certainly dont mind groovy company
Dude, saying CHROME around here is like being in Gotham City when the Bat Signal is released into the night sky. Your gonna get some leg for sure............umm wait!,..........thats from Van Halen. What I meant was Your gonna get some help for sure.
help me!
@BlackMaple -- the question is, do you get a Classic now and chrome it, then get a Vintage Pro ... or do you hang on for the unicorn? It's only a few days, er weeks away...
Good point. If the Vintage Pro is already known to be as good as the Classic, I don't mind waiting. The early reviews of the simultaneous Embassy bass release were a little mixed, so I was somewhat apprehensive.

If you really want chrome, I'd wait until the Vintage Pro is released and see it in person, in the long run it's a less expensive option than chrome plating a Classic.
It remains to be seen whether this is correct but the hardware spec at Epiphone.com says Nickel. Fingers crossed.
Really?, I would actualy create a youtube channel for this?. My Bird makes the cans anxious, and the neighbours. And the Pepsi can more than others.

Look at them buggers just shakin' their thing. I was originaly practicing some huge feedback thunder as a segway from the intro into the song and though the Peavey was only on 1 the cans wanted to play too. We all had fun. House was shakin' like one of those massive trains rollin' by.
Less anxious than the cans my wife used to have
