Worst case, Jeff can send the Chechen Warriors to make him an offer he can't refuse.

It can easily be arranged Ken.

Ideas yes. Drawing no

You can do for the 3 point what @godofthunder59 has done for the 2 point.

You can call it the 3.A

I like the sounds of that!

I can clearly hear all the variations of tones between the 3 basses. And they all sound great.

I like the way all of em sound too. I’m not a fan of the ‘shootout’ approach anyway. There’s no winner or loser. For myself, my least favorite is probably the stock Gibson, but that’s just me. Alexander Hacke plays a totally stock Gibson and I can’t imagine a better sound for him. The main difference in tone between the TB ‘66 and the Lollars may well be the strings as much as the pickups themselves. I’d still personally give the edge to the Lollars, but it also tells me there’s no way I’d consider changing the TB ‘66 in the Cataldo because it sounds fantastic to me, in a slightly different way

What strings are you using on the '02?

A good demonstration that within certain parameters there are no bad choices. The Lollars sound fantastic, but I don't find myself GASsing for them. Both aftermarket pickups are nicer than stock ... but you wouldn't hear the stock and think they are bad at all. Everyone can be happy. Beer and pizza all round!

Has anyone swapped out the electronic components in the Epiphone Tbird for higher quality and taken out the tone cap? I might try that. I do like the stock pickups but I could use a little bit more snarl.

Which Epi?

 

[willsellout]

Which Epi?

Mine is the Vintage pro with the US pickups. Not the newer silver versions.

Unusually upbeat for you, Kat. Everything ok?

So you're basically going to the toy store.

Even have the route all planned out to avoid having to stand around waiting at traffic lights on Parramatta Road.

That gong looks a little on the large size. It might be perilous. Did I miss anything?

Gong with the Wind?
Going, Going, Gong?
Cheech & Gong: The Collection?

“An 810?! What, are you playing arenas with no PA support?! Hope you have roadies!”

Never gets old

So what would 40 1s be?

Start with taking the tone control out of the circuit. Will give you an idea what it's like with out it. But I thought the VP only comes with the newly designed pup's.

Just making up for the silent ones

Or the infrequent ones who are loud when they're around!
