Gibson Basses / Re: Thunderbird pickup dilemma

Mark, thank you for your answer with PM! 3/8" that is.

One more thing:

Did anyone actually try to install Gotoh Res-O-Lites (pre-CBS type) on a modern TBird headstock? Will they actually fit the smaller modern paddle? Thanks!

Gibson did them both ways.

I've put them on two of my modern 'Birds - Wit the stock holes, if they are in line with each other they will touch, barely. It hasn't been a problem.

And on Mr Sixx.

I'm in need of clarification, so I'll use some necromancy skill and resurrect this thread.

What version of Ultralites should be used with modern T-Birds: the 3/8 diameter version or 1/2 inch diameter version? Thank you

Wow! Just noticed this 5-string EB. Looks great. Has anyone already tried one? What's the string spacing at bridge? How does the neck shape feel? How does the B-string sound?

And thanks for the heads-up!

dark cherry whizz ze binding.

I definitely can see this bass in my future. However, if these will come with ceramic TB-pickups the latter will be swapped for Fralin AlNiCo 'buckers.
And also it may somehow darken the future of my DC
