I have Lollar thunderbird pickups modded into a Fender Jaguar. Jaguars have a series switch. I made sure to get that working with the TB pickups. Its pretty cool. Its an even t.h.i.c.k.e.r. sound, but also more focused. Its really great for the bridge pickup through effects.
I had and gigged a JC, strung with TI flats. I liked it, but for 2 things. It could feedback if I wasn't careful, and, without a top contour, it wasn't comfortable for a full set, for me, it bothered my forearm.
That hollow body tone is sweet though.
Yeah, feedback is an issue. In the wrong place in the wrong room I have had a feedback problem with this amp.
At a whopping 6W that is something!
But the tone!
Not standing straight in front of this is sweet!
Tone for days. Thunder that can only compare with a Thunderbird.
From the picture, some might surmise that I:
like humbuckers, and
like mudbuckers.
And that would be correct.

West Coast Thunderbird Thursday.
This came up a week or so back...….
The correct case for a Jackson TBX looks like this.
As much as think Thunderbirds should have a PG, this one has never had the factory made one installed (Thankfully!) as I think the bass looks much better without it. I really like this bass, it's not the traditional Thunderbird when it comes to tone (or the pointy headstock) but there are stages and shows that this bass is the perfect choice - Razor.

Not for daily wear, you silly!
I thought that was Cary Grant.
Where do you sit when you play that? Can't use that stool in the BG.
Nice tile.
Can they do them in Cobalt?
It's thunderbird Thursday!
What was this owner thinking!!!
I guess that how you neuter a Thunderbird.

It was daily wear for me today at the grocery store, along with some gloves. I'm taking it pretty seriously - Our state is showing good signs overall.
