Yeah I can just see it, James Bond trying the latest explosive selfie stick while Eddie Van Halen yelling "more gain! Too much mids! Not brown enough!" in the background with an extremely loud and distorted guitar..

That was the original plan but for $30 I'm gettin' "the sound". IF I keep it, I'll eventually put a humbucker in there. However, it would take woodworking Way beyond my abilities, a new PG, and a big enough hand rest to hide any gaps. Or a bunch o' cash to a luthier. There are higher priorities. That P pup is sounding better than I coulda axed for at this price.

I love it!
Very nice, saw those when I was browsing Seattle CL last month. Not too often do you see a full set with the horns. Unfortunately, my gear savings is tied up in getting a new precision pickup, buying speakers for the Sunn 6x12 I'm restoring, and getting a surfboard.
But it's still split P soup..That was the original plan but for $30 I'm gettin' "the sound". IF I keep it, I'll eventually put a humbucker in there.

Hmm. Interesting. When I did it(67/68)I plugged into the "Normal" channel, Volume-4ish, Treble4-5, Bass-10. Neck pup only playing background music for Officer's Club cocktail party. Acoustic piano, drums(mostly brushes)and me(EB-3). Never had a problem, no "Fartiness",sometimes played a little louder but that neck humbucker really rattled the walls. The bass was Navy issue, prolly a 67 but when I got out in Nov.68, I bought one for myself and used it in a couple of different amps 'til I got my '67 TBird in 73. First amp:
one like this, second amp:
this one-since 70! Yes, I've used this shot b4 but it's too heavy to take outside-again-for a better pic

No matter what, everyday is Thunderbird day. And what ever else you care to play.
Beautiful shot!
GOOD GAWD!!! Y'ever hear something for the first time, again? That just happened to me! The drum sound on "Killed By Death" is just SO MASSIVE!!! Easily in my top 5 best Rock drum sounds ever

Lemmy got fired from Hawkwind cause he was always stoned..LMAO
Wish I Still had that Bassman. Sold it-and another just like it-when I got outta the business for awhile. Lack of storage space. And here's these 2 again: I gotta get a new shot w/ the new PG.
