[Ken]

My only criticiscm is that the Thunderbird logo on the pickguard should be white.

I had no idea. Thanks.

It can be done with a back-to-back pair of Schottky diodes as they have a low forward voltage so clip with an average passive pickup signal. As a passive circuit this involves a loss of output level.

I cannot change the laws of physics, Captain!

I just wish they'd throw from time to time at us bass players something as beautiful as this LP Custom, instead of yet another refinished NR.

A Les Paul Custom Bass…………. Now we’re talking!

If they would reintroduce the regular LP Bass, then we'd see occasional mod shop versions. I don't see them building a one-off just for the mod shop.

Even when they were still in production, there was no blinged out model comparable to a LP Custom, I'm not even getting started on Artisan or Supreme. Just like there was no Thunderbird equivalent to the Firebird VII, or an EB3 Custom. It's always the underblinged versions for us.

True, but they were discontinued before these mod shop one-offs were marketed.

Only the Hobbit & the ES Les Paul Bass had appointments equal to its guitar counterparts. Neither were as high end as a Les Paul Custom. The Hobbit came the closest……..

The hobbit had multi ply binding but it was top only, and it had a rosewood board, chrome hardware and no maple top. In this respect it was spec'ed even below Standard.

They seem to think that if we like stripped beat to hell Fenders then we'd be grateful for whatever they throw at the bass community. I don't think that a Custom (or Supreme) level bass will be a huge seller for them, but it's nice to know that they think highly of you sometimes.

The Hobbit didn’t have appointments like the Les Paul Custom. It was exactly like the Les Paul Recording. In most cases, basses had unbound fretboards & dot necks for an example when their guitar counterpart was much fancier……
