I'll give this a bump up for the newbies.  I have the Midtown on a stand next to my practice amp and play it almost daily.  A really nice bass for the money.

Still tempted by this bass.

And he mostly played pointy Japanese hos until fame started to set in.

A Rickenbacker copy and and a Yamaha BB bass are pointy Japanese ho's?

Epi Pro IV: pups, bridge and bling from ThunderBucker Ranch.


Did this bass come stock with a two piece bridge? Can the two piece bridge be used on modern Thunderbirds without leaving holes behind?

Jason Lollar Makes a Bad-Ass Thunderbird Pickup as well.

Anyone using these?

I find the trend toward musicman looking pickups in more retro looking basses off. I know MM put that pickup style out in the 70's but it still gives me a modern vibe that clashes with some of the more retro looking aspects.

That being said, I'll join the minority in saying I like the look of this bass.  :)

Anyone see what the dimensions on those pickups are? I wonder if you could drop another pickup into them without routing?

This followed me home today  :mrgreen:

I thought about ordering one in cherry but the ebony looked too good in person when I saw it.

I love the look of the Midtown in black too. It might not fit the bill tonally, but visually I want to get a black Midtown and play Peter Hook basslines on it.  ;D

Chromed out T-birds look killer! I'm surprised Gibson hasn't done a chromed T-bird as a limited edition in the past few years.

Dadagobol, does the Epi pro come with a two piece bridge, or did you add it in place of the regular 3 bolt bridge?

OMC, where did the pearloid pickguard with the bird graphic on it come from?

Also, has anyone swapped the hardware on a new Thunderbird to all chrome? If so, got a pic?

 Recommend a chrome elephant ear tuner that fits the modern t-bird headstock and a chrome aftermarket bridge?

Thanks guys. Of the samples on the Thunderbucker Ranch website, I like the sound of the '63 pickups the best.

Which i read elsewhere on here is generally the least liked one from TBR.  :-\

Hey all, the impossible has finally happened and Gibson is issuing left handed basses. So I have a Thunderbird on order. I've put some time in on a right handed 2012 Thunderbird for reference and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a replacement pickup for thunderbirds with a bit more top end clarity?

I also tried a stock Epiphone Elitist Thunderbird and preferred it's sound to the Gibson one, if that helps show closer what I'm after.

Thanks!

Of your choices I'd go with Portland OR. Great city, really good pace, affordable by comparison, good music/arts scene, nice weather (I'll take rain over snow), great restaurants and bars. Definitely a place a NYC punk rock guy would find things to appreciate.

Bass Amps & Effects / Recommend power tubes for an SVT?
« on: October 21, 2011, 10:48:28 AM »
Hey PBG (or anyone else who can help),
    Can I get a recommendation for a set of power tubes for my '73 SVT? 6550 or KT88 is fine.

Also, has anyone tried the Tung Sol KT120? Could an old SVT handle a set of these without modding, and would they make a difference in the amp's output?

Thanks!

I always like a sweet hollowbody bass.  :)
