IIRC Scott @godofthunder59 still does them, correct with hot stamp bird. Not cheap but worth the $$.

Or you can DIY the guard and do the logo yourself with an original, photoshop, laser printer, and clear vinyl label sheet stock.

Scott had some seconds for sale a while ago, but I think he’s out of them.
Looks like a DIY situation. I might still do the cutout bird (my buddy owns an industrial laser cutting shop)- just need to decide on material and get or create the file.

would love to hear that bass....recognize the bridge?

No, I was curious about the bridge as well.

Hmmmm
Just might be time to find another "Aneimic Epi Pro 5er" and nurse her back to health with these...

Sorry,
Trying to do this & work @ the Same time, isn't their a law against that like texting & driving lol

Anyway to be clear:
BLACK BEAUTY TAPER HEAVIES RULE !!!

No problem! I was interested in the strap not the strings! Those have never held any fascination for me.

The Model One is a great pickup.

Can you compare it to any of the THUNDERBIRD pickups?

Our back yard today. I’m not playing, just hosting. We aren’t a wedding venue but we occasionally play one for our friends and fam.

Whose the small person in the boot.

The gold anniversary bird is still at the L&M where I kill time while my daughter is at orchestra rehearsal. Those modern Gibson pickups are growing on me!

Can you compare it to any of the THUNDERBIRD pickups?

I don't know that many Thunderbird pu'ps, just the Epi Deep Sixx and the Thunderbucker+ on my present Classic Pro.
The Model One tends to be a little 'dark' sits in the deep zone for tone. But it is very clean- very much like Precisions I've had- and does give you some snappy mids/highs too. It's a humbucker though, and that is *not* a Precision at all, and the fatness of the Model One tells that.

So: Big and fat, dark-ish, very clean tone-wise. Lots of gain comes from it, so you pay attention to balance it with whatever else is in your bass.

Hope that wasn't too murky a description!

Meh. About 150 + crew.

A Texan wannabe.

Away through Wednesday and staying in a hotel hoping around visiting relatives. Lots of down time and I need to get in playing time. I normally travel with a Rumble 25 that is perfect for hotel practice, with or without headphones. But after some of you waxed on about the Vox Bass Amplug recently, I picked one up today. It suits the purpose. Doesn’t hold a candle to the $100 Rumble and is comparatively expensive at $45. But it will work when PG&E shuts off my power. So here’s a pic of my rig for the next four days. I need to commission @Gaolee to find me a ss Thunderbird.
