Yes, that is a damn shame...
These:
Gold Plated Metal bass pickup cover for Gibson Thunderbird bass guitar | eBay
and a soldering iron to remove the other covers and attach the gold covers is all you need.

Well, I used to have a Blackbird, but let it go probably 8-9 years ago (I really wish I'd kept it!) so I'm not going to be able to give you a opinion, Andy @Nocturnal has at least one IIRC, and has probably played it much more recently! At the time I probably let it go as trade for a '76, but don't quote me on that!
Thank you very much for your comment. I would like for someone that loves Tbirds to give me their opinion of the Blackbird, instead of the ”All Tbirds suck, buy a Jazz” comments I usually see.
One of my favourite albums!
Yeah. those are the ones I mentioned earlier but I'd already deleted the site

It is Philadelphia Luthier Supply.
Philadelphia Luthier Tools & Supplies Guitar building tools and parts
They sell all manner of stuff and lots of T-Bird related stuff.
Well, aren't you just a ray of sunshineIt's just biding its time, waiting to strike when you least expect it.
I rest my thumb on the neck pup ashtray. I'd wondered about the scratch plates. So they ARE 2 pieces. Cool!

I thought so as well. It was a song with an irreverent title, in response to someone else bringing up a certain 80s British Prime Minister. I posted the video without commentary, IIRC. The person brought up said politician in the first place was not suspended.
For now, this is the best I can do on a Gold Top...
Some day soon I hope to be able to have this along side it...

That is very good looking !
Both are good options. Not long before you came back to us, there were photos of a ‘posh bird’ that someone built in a comp in the luthier area. Bloody nice, more ‘inspired by birds’ than a direct copy but lovely nonetheless.
If I remember tomorrow, on my way home I'll stop at the L&M and take a picture of the one they have there
Just caught up. Been out for my wife’s birthday (not today tho). Bought her a few laps in a V8 race car, an ‘experience present’. She loved it thankfully!
Just home from Sydney Motorsport Park.

Thanks Goatboy! Go ahead, tempt me with something I can't have right now. You and Mr. Potato head (@theFixer), two enabling peas in a pod!
With friends like you two, who needs enemas.
If you send me those flower power twins, that'll at least clear up some space

Didn't think that's how the saying went... but thanks for clearing that up.
Well I gotta admit, I did fudge a little on the old saying. Certainly not implying that you or Fix are the butt of any jokeIf you send me those flower power twins, that'll at least clear up some space

, just making a wise crack at your expense. 
On a somewhat related note - what do you think of the rectum as a whole?
