Great price, but I'm not seeing it on their used gear website, must be sold. They do have an interesting NR Eppi 5 string with the PJ layout for dirt cheap if anyone's interested.

the Fresno Store has none of their inventory on the used site...NONE (Fresno store is uber lame and lazy)...I was just in there today ... it's still there...call!

I came very close to snagging it myself...but I'm trying to sell basses...not buy more

Hi guys -- 2013 TBird reporting for duty. Longtime reader, first time poster. I'm not an official member yet...maybe I will find a good pic and join soon. I posted this question about replacement pickups in another forum and maybe some of you could chime in?

School me on Thunderbird pickups please

Thanks!

I had a look at the thread (both posts...). You ask
So...what replacement pickups make it sound better...and why?
and therein lies the problem. What constitutes better? Many here like the stock Gibson pickups. Some look for a more vintage sound and there are replacements that give that. There are active replacements that will provide a more modern sound. And some here have done very interesting replacements such as Lace and Rickenbacker. So, what do you want?
