I guess I can post this here too, why just chrome the pickups?

Anybody else got a chrome plated Opti - Grab?

Mark, I think that's the best example of taking a signature model and making it your own!

And in the process, making it a much prettier bass as well.

     Nikki who?

Yup!

With all due respect for Herr Hills and his generally excellent taste: nope. Black is beautiful and black and red a much better combo than red and silver. Even the most immaculate one can err once in a while. That is then no cause for celebration, my color-blind brethren.

"'Cause chromin' ain't allowed in schoo-hool!!!"

Yeah but ya gotta agree....Chrome on a 1956 Red Corvette is cool......

Everything has its place and time. Automatic weapons made sense in the hands of GIs in the Battle of the Bulge and chrome on a '56 Vette.

I can freely admit that bass isn't for everyone, but on this bass since it's body is a satin finish a bit of shine really helps give it some life - On that bass the black hardware was just lifeless to me, now I could see a black/white/black PG on it in the fashion of many EB's - Probably would look nice in fact.
IIRC Black and Red were the colors of a certain regime........... 

Chrome is Life!

You forgot the white!!!

And Glenn Tipton is no Nazi either.

Is being a chromosexual offensive to certain religious sects...?

Thanks guys. Of the samples on the Thunderbucker Ranch website, I like the sound of the '63 pickups the best.

Which i read elsewhere on here is generally the least liked one from TBR. 

FWIW it is my favorite but i am a fender guy

What a way to kill the discussion.

Jason Lollar Makes a Bad-Ass Thunderbird Pickup as well.

Anyone using these?
