You're welcome, I'm happy to contribute



That thing got me surprised, I gotta admit.
I took a look at Hipshot clover tuners, I saw that there's a smaller clover and a larger one - both with 3-4 different inch. dimensions. Don't know what do they refer to.
My bird has the standard mini Grovers with one side screw.

These are the Hipshots........HB6

My '89, using a different model, this was before they made the HB6, you can see the original Gibson screws to the lower left of each.

What's going on with the paint job on the back of the headstock on the burst one?

This is exactly what I was trying to describe. Thanks.

On my way to the North Coast, this is packing light

. It’s custom, however not my bass.

Alas!

Cool finish-to-natural resolution

Depending on the size of the pickup covers, Carlo has pickup rings that don't require drilling; they stay on with adhesive.

any vintage ring should work...cut and glued the screw heads on this one and put it on with thin double sided tape..

Ha, I'm pretty tiny (esp compared to Americans) and don't find them reachy at all.

I don't find Americans reachy either, maybe a bit preachy but not really too reachy.

Hey, look....

...speaking of which, for those so inclined that might want a matching set...

We do have some well-known grabbers, though.

Note to self: Try to avoid scheduling NBD delivery on the same day as garbage day...

A lot of disappointment so far listening to those garbage trucks go by...

And here it is!

Unfortunately I didn't do anything other that just play it unplugged for a bit, but I did weigh it. 8.7 lbs making it my lightest bass...

I'll get to dig into it tonight after I finish up work.

White Thunderbird!!

May I assume we are to ignore the posts from the "banned guy"?

At least ignore his first post since he was wrong. The black plastic does come off. Have seen the results multiple times now.

Welcome to Thunderbird! Where we do not follow the Gen Pop rules about bringing the box inside and letting it sit for a few days, then removing the shipping labels and leaving for a few more days... After 6 weeks you are ready to see your new bass.

Seeing one thread about peeling a pick up doesn't count as seeing multiple times...

I believe that the Queen @TBird1958 posted photos of the peeling process of pickups. Those photos are probably just a few pages back.

Thunderbird means power, wearing it at belt (or slightly lower) height makes you dominate the situation
