Epiphone built a new factory to make guitars, could they be making these pickups there? Could the Chinabuckers have been built in that factory to test manufacturing, and quality control, and sold them un-named to test acceptance?
No I don't think they are Chinabuckers. Epiphone I believe reversed engineered these.
A much more sensible look.... dunno about angry tho.
Anywho, that added middle pickup is no EB mini; soemthing else. Can't quite tell (vid quality and reflections of the stage lights) but it could be Jim Lea. You know he could have taken the bass to him more than once, and this was just the stage 1 modification.
That's exactly what i meant. The output is very dynamically responsive to right (in my case) hand touch.
...Wait, I'm not actually sure what he was going for there.
I don't think so Alan. I found it on a british site
The release of the Epiphone Vintage Pro Thunderbird has been postponed in Europe. New release date is 2 - 5 february 2018...
I didn't say overdrive the pickup itself....
Cool. I love the Dark Stars but different strokes... They are the only pickups I've tried that i can really overdrive with my right hand.
Good violin makers have been doing artificially aged finishes for ages. It's not considered or perceived as not honest.
If a bass feels better I'll play it better. And distressed finishes - real or artificial - feel better than shiny new under my hands.
