Big George is at it again.

Those Grecos aren't neck-thru, right?

 I thought you had one Herr Moderator, they are set neck. I would think they sound quite similar to late '60s Bird. Wonderful basses  ;)

No, I have rank and file Epi TBs (3: Snowwhite, Nikki Sixx Blackbird & Silverburst), one Elitist and one Orville TB, the latter two being set neck of course, but no real Jap ho.  :-*

The pickups on a Greco Tbird are very good. Real growly monster tone.
