Quick couple of questions to any owners and anyone who has modded them. I have a Lakland Skyline DJ5 that I'm thinking about moving on and for that swag, I could well bag three guitars (I'm thinking as I now have a pair of Gibson TBs, maybe give a punt to one of the new Epiphones, plus an Epiphone Phant-o-matic, and a Bach as a project).
OK, here goes my questions/concerns.
I guess first off, are the stock models off the shelf any good? You know, are they playable and not needing major surgery.
Side by side with a non-reverse is the BaCH a decent enough facsimile? Accurate dimensions etc.
Second up, mods. Looking at their website, I like the chrome hardware, but I'm really not a fan of the look of those pickups...what are you guys swapping out? Also, where does one procure a scratchplate?
Also, I've seen this thread a couple of time :http://www.hillscloud.com/2011/06/refinishing-a-thunderbird-bass/
Thanks
