Just giving a head's up:
https://reverb.com/item/7662660-gibson-usa-thunderbird-bass-2001-black?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIreXi8puU2AIVDJ7ICh2NuwBgEAEYASABEgLvGfD_BwE&pla=1
Reasonable price.
Heck yeah, you can barely buy any pair of good pickups for that.
If I had any thoughts about another build in the near future I would've jumped them myself. I always thought my 2000 TBird sounded great and was very versatile.
If I ever go for a TBird driven bass down the line I'll grab one of the current chromed sets (i.e. Lull).
These don't come around often - somebody should jump them and stash 'em in their parts bin for a future project.
P.S. I am not affiliated with the seller in any way.
