That was considered, as well as a skateboard deck and a few other things. At least I'm not the sort of person to make cardboard cutouts of pedals and sit arranging them to fit a given surface. Oh no, I would never do that.

You're in a safe place, you can tell us.
I did, and used the pedal train site, and even made a 3D assembly on SolidWorks....
Pretty train crazy of late (when am I not!
) , here's something I just finished. From 1967, used to transport tires for Firestone, I scratch built the door for this model as they weren't available. Love the non traditional colors from the '60s especially as they weathered in the '70s.View attachment 2866376[/QUOTE]
Wow! Again. You have a super-talent there.
Of course, the other talent must be the photography to make the scene so realistic.
I'll just leave this here... no particular reason

Now didn’t there used to be clone of these? Marketed under a few different labels including Ashton down here.
Could be mistaken, anyone know?
Well it's probably a good thing I don't have CAD or modelling software. That's all you need to know.
Also check out the newer Gator pedal boards. They have some really nice-looking aluminum ones that maybe be cheaper than the PT ones. MONO also has some now, but needless to say, they're pretty expensive.
I'd totally consider one of those Gators, but even the smallest is still too big for my needs.
if it weren't for wanting another bass, and some of you and your pedal fetish's, this would be a serious consideration for me.

I even put the type of wood into the materials, and got a rough weight for mine....
I also put some time in figuring out the angle I want, and calculating it with how high I want the board.
Honestly it only took part of a weekend to do it all. I had most of the boards cut too, but it just got pushed to the side for a while.

Well back to bass talk, and overlooking that Duke is probably lying about the nut width on his '02
I wonder if the bridge placement is part of the tone difference.
I wonder that too!
It was pretty much an homage to Jeff

I just knew it was a remodeled Sunn 300t. Not sure beyond that
You can't stop now, that board you're putting together looks great man!!!

Something seriously wrong with that boy
Thanks! It's currently functional enough. It does need a new top board, and I'd like to find big roll of 2" dual-lock velcro that doesn't cost $100!
Seriously didn't take more than a couple spare hours!
But my parents would agree with you
I think I figured out the Spector crew's secret!!! The first Friday of every month, they all post pictures of their basses! It's aptly named "First Friday".
I think we need "Thunderbird Thursday('s)"

Too rich for my blood. Could make a Hail Mary bid on a T Bird for that kinda dough. Might be exaggerating

You are correct about that.
It's another great head. Good price too.
Just has the 7ender name on it, pretty much the same thing though.
Mine too, quite a stretch to pay that much for a pedal, but the Moog stuff is top notch.
Vince pretty much spotted everything within seconds!
First the pickguards- they look the same size to me, but the ‘02 is just placed more forward on the body. Now the ‘14 looks like it was placed ‘wrong,’ but I hadn’t given that a single thought until I saw these two side by side. The offwhite pg on the ‘02 looks considerably cooler to me as well.
Another thing Vince spotted was the neck on the ‘14 is slightly wider around the 15th-16th fret area. I got out a tape measure to confirm that it wasn’t an optical illusion of some sort. Nope, Vince nailed it. The ‘14 is about 1/16” wider. I would’ve never known

The ‘14 has zero neck dive and the ‘02 has slight neck dive...not too tricky to figure out why...
View attachment 2866575
Not sure why that pic came out so blurry...
When I first played the ‘02 I could’ve sworn the fingerboard was a tiny bit flatter, but not really so much. They just feels ever so slightly different from one another. Blindfolded, I’d be hard pressed to tell you which is which in that regard.
I’d have to string em both up fresh with the same strings to say this with total accuracy, but their inherent tonal characteristics seem pretty different to me. The ‘02 is clearer and punchier sounding, but with slightly less low end (slightly). The ‘14 is a bit mushier and more tubby. Nothing huge, but there’s a noticeable difference.
That’s about all I got so far
I had an 2006 T- Bird before the 2014 T-Bird I have now. I would agree with your assessment regarding the pick ups. That is why the 2014 got the Lollar's installed. I also preferred the neck on the '14 which felt thinner front to back and
a bit narrower at the nut.

Actually yours is a Thunderbird and multiple body parts. It's a theme.
