Seems like 1987 was a hot year around here to get hitched!

1987 was a good year for sure! Got married, got my first real job after finishing studies and stayed there for 24 years. Then jumped over to a competitor, from where I now plan to be retired after about 3 years. And my firstborn was born in 1988, so that too must have something to do with 1987...

Nothing beats a Friday night like new Thunderbird + Bourbon.

SG and JB also invited to the party.

And a good dog!

Nah, not fly fishing but very much into spinn fishing and since a couple of years back, really enjoy jigging. And of course boating, fixing the house, playing with the grand children and and and...

Well then. It isn’t too weird. And unfortunately no grand children. I do spend time fixing things around the house, but I don’t enjoy it. Happy 4th!

Haven't been in this neighborhood for a while, but I have a need.

Got a nice non-reverse Epi T-bird, with some Geezer pickups too.....it's gonna get the Fenderbird conversion like my others. Maybe. I need some kind of neck, was thinking about going with a '51 / telecaster style bass neck. Pocket is routed square so the tele neck square heel seems like a good fit, but it's not wide enough, so it would need enlarging. I can't remember if the MIM necks are still 2.5" at the heel? This pocket measures 2.4"

Maybe a standard neck from a regular T-bird would look cool. Will it fit without modification? If anyone has one, PM me. Pic for the non believers.

What is the neck on the white one? It looks great. And I am completely shallow, so looks are absolutely a top concern.

Very interesting! Can't say I've ever heard of that brand of pickup. Do you have a link to their website? Looking forward to your report.

One of EGC's bolt ons. Supposedly based on a MIJ p-bass specs. Feels like it to me. I don't like the zero radius necks on Travis Bean's at all but the EGC is like butter.

Thanks. I am considering all kinds of mods for the bolt-on. I like it well enough as is, but leaving well enough alone is nearly impossible in the long run. That neck sure look the part.

Pickups

He didn’t pop up a few weeks ago when I was casually looking for PUPs. I found an old (sold) Reverb ad for a set of drop-ins for bolt-ons that he did at one time. Might be something to think about for my Goth if he still does them. Pretty hot winds per specs for that set.

Nice to have more options showing up for replacement pickups. How are his prices in relation to say Lull and Thunderbucker?
