I'd just chop up the inner tube on the kids bike...
I do need to order another claw this weekend, PM inbound....
Nice. I'd consider buying it if the tone knob and jack locations were swapped. And if I could afford it.
Thx for the reply. I finally got hold of Steve at TB Ranch and we’re working through it. They do offer the spacers at $15 each, just confirming the dimensions before I buy them.
That does. Reminds me of the Lakland I had. I loved look and how you could select many different mid settings with the dip switches. Great feature. It was a Skyline, but exceptionally well made. Just never sounded right with what I was playing through at the time. Super comfortable to play. But it had a shallow neck. I don't mind a wide or narrow neck, but don't care for a shallow one for some reason. My '64 Pbass actually has a '63 neck and it's wide and very shallow. (Apparently started in '63 and finished in early '64.) That shallow profile is the only thing I don't care for, but it sounds great.
If I only needed one I’d just make it. But I’d like about six of them and I sure as heck aint gonna sit at the bench for the entire day fabing them up. Now if I had a 3D printer I’d be all in. But for now $15 seems like a bargain.
Ship it to my howse, and I'll swap em for ya, I'm even willing to play it for you, for as many years as it takes to properly break it in....
Yep, the sure fire fool proof test.
Don't think I'd want a mini-humbucker. I also don't like how they adapted for it. Is that the best they could come up with?
would seem to imply we won't be seeing an NR II anytime soon....
I have not been impressed with most of the stuff I’ve seen out of the mod shop outside of the arctic white NR.
would love some originality maybe a silver burst NR or DC, a DC with a mudbucker, Single pickup SG. Maybe even murder out a Gibson (all black hardware and pickguard)

I hadn't even seen that white one until you just mentioned it, boy, why wasn't that a standard they put out!
here's a fun one... I already blocked the OP...
Your 2015 Epiphone Thunderbird Classic IV Pro might be a rebadged 2014 Gibson.
not sure if they shipped the fully finished gibsons overseas then painted them with poly, or for sure how the delusion goes... the op got panties twisted pretty quickly....

Sad thing is I had the white one in my cart was going to pay for it and let it go… thought is a custom color really worth that extra money and do I need another bass. Kicking myself now.
It looks nice but I'm not sure it's worth $600 more than I paid for my other 'uns..
that was my thought but looking back on what could have been. Plus I may have been able to turn around and flip it for a profit like this hideous SG mod..
