  Just a short video documenting my ongoing love affair with these basses.

They're such cool basses, nice work!

I have a set of Probucker 760s coming my way.  Scott, did you notice much of a tonal difference between the Probuckers in the Epiphone '60s and the Gibson NR due to the difference in spacing?

   The contemporary Gibson Nonreverse Thunderbird I put the Probuckers in I actually moved the neck pickup to the 60s position so it's not really a apples to apples comparison.

I have an Epiphone Goth Thunderbird for a band that's tuned in C Standard but it's been killing me to play it for long periods of time. It weighs about 9.5 lbs. I decided to get one of the new-ish Epiphone Embassy basses with the probuckers because it weighs only 7 pounds and change. I dig the pickups a lot. The Embassy design is kind of an ergonomic Thunderbird; shame they made the neck wider (1.625 nut width) but the flat Rickenbacker-esque shape to it makes it manageable.

Scott (or anyone) have you ever swapped the bridges on these with a Hipshot Supertone two point bridge? I saw someone else do it and it has me intrigued because they say it doesn't require any modification. I like how tweakable the Hipshot design is.

Here's the picture. Yes it leaves some holes behind but... just call it "Weight Relief" and it's a premium!
