I believe it was a good single malt..Not a good single malt!

I had no idea Novak made a T-Bird pickup! How would you describe it?
In the next day or two I'm trying a Fano bass for sale locally. He also makes his own T-Bird pups, which I'm anxious to hear. I love Fano stuff in general. If I decide to buy the bass, I may have a new pg made, if only to shut you tort hatin' freaks up

It rings and growls, I put a Nordstrand tonedrop in it too, sounds great with the tone rolled off on both caps. Deep phat tone, pretty close to a vintage tbird sound...I had the good fortune to play a '64 and a thunderbucker and this are pretty closeI had no idea Novak made a T-Bird pickup!

Notably mild. Some chill, but the last several weeks it's been definitely warmer than usual. I expect to get whacked this month with some real-deal winter, but we'll see...
Same boots!

Hmmm. Now I'm thinking about an all popping version of Stand By Me.
Couch bass confirms that it is doable. And in bad taste. Have to see if it pops on a Thunderbird. And if so, might have to become a staple.
Hmm. Listening to that in my head. Yep-and tasteless.
Agreed. You should do it. I think I can safely say we'll all stand behind you.Hmm. Listening to that in my head. Yep-and tasteless.
A good 50 ft or so.
The Geezer sound has definitely been an influence on me. I would like to try out his amp.
And it looks better with a chrome PU.
What did you not like about the old pickup and what is different with the new one?
Any comment on the silk over the saddle? Does it really make any difference and if so, are you considering a Hipshot or a Babicz?
Why did you not have the whole shoe in the picture? Creative choice?
I like those basses and they are right at an attractive price point. I might end up buying one.
The original pickup in a mix was too muddy, the single coil sounded better. The original pickup is from the newer eb series it isn't a thunderbird. The new pickup is a damn close version of a vintage thunderbird. Sounds so clear, punch, growl and the tone. Silk doesn't make any difference. Inntonated spot on. Might change the bridge if it gives me any grief and casual shot of the shoe
I also put a Nordstrand tonedrop in it to get another set of tones, works great and sounds even better.
