Though my name is on one, I'm undecided on color so HoG told me they'd email me photos earlier this coming week after they've called me back. They told me they'd have a really good price for me so I'm looking forward to what info they give me.

I'm leaning heavily towards Pelham Blue and am keeping absolutely an open mind about the black hardware on it. I think the black might be a real nice contrast with the metallic blue but also think it might look good, more subtle on the burst.

Can't wait to hear back from them!

And I'm coming to the realization that I probably swing towards liking the NR shape a little more than the regular Thunderbird.

But you are always searching for Orville pickups! Say, are you trying to corner the market on them?  ;D

Thunderbuckers would probably be a good alternative and less expensive than Lulls.

 I haven't found them noisy, like their tone well enough too. They're in the Surf Green Orville and the Big Pinkie 8 string you made. That said, I like the tone of Lulls a lot better warmer, growly and soundhow tighter.

 I think Baz is just trying to liberate those "noisy" Orvilles from Bill ;)

 I could probably be armtwisted out of a set, problem is it'll take some Lulls to replace them!  ;D

Of all the sound clips of Lulls, Thunderbuckers and Lollars, I liked the '66 Thunderbucker sound the best.

 Me and my Lull live, with and without a pick  just turn it up thru some good speakers. 

Warning! Drag Queens are near  ;)

No seriously I know I was a mental case for those orvilles for  quite some time...But...when I tried to install a set in my Candy Apple Red Tom Petersson Hamer Thunderbird 8 string bass...they just sounded too noisy for some reason...I bought a set of Lulls...and they work fine...May not be as overdriven..but VERY nice pickups.
