New Badbirds in stock!
« on: September 26, 2012, 08:06:18 AM »
 They are shipping this week! Pm me and let me know what you need. Hex nuts are a add on and I don't yet have pricing for that. The Badbird pkg consist of one bridge, tailpiece and a set of anchors and inserts. $228.00 plus shipping.

I bought a whole Peter Cook for less than that... (okay, it was '77... ;D)

I always thought it was nice of Mr Cook to put the posts in the right place... good luck with the sales... ;)

And I bought an all original Cardinal Red Non-reverse Thunderbird for less than half of that.

Just realized I bought one of the original Badbirds and never installed it. But the picture above with all it's shinieness makes me want to buy one. Hopeless.

I had one of those in the neck-slot of my PC for some time but it was viciously microphonic - now long gone - Al has one in his recovered EB, along with an MB

Yessir, yessir I do.

I'm thinking a pair of Model 1's would give a nice rough sound.

The Neck pickup is a 64-ish mudbucker from this forum...the Model 1 was in it when I got it.  And the bar bridge intonates just fine, thankyewverramuch.  The controls are vol/vol, because no one in his right mind needs a tone control to reduce highs on this pickup set.
