Please recommend me Thunderbird replacement pickups

[TBird1958]

8K neck, 9K bridge. With my '89 I roll off the bridge pup completely sometimes - it's SO GOOD!

Then I should perhaps use the 9k on a single pup bass, why settle for less?

That's up to you! I'll try to get up to Bellevue 1/17 or 1/18.......

Here's a funny one...My blue '65 T bird has a 7.5 pickup in it....and it's Louder and bigger sounding than any of my other basses. I put hotter pickups in it but they never sounded right.

Hotter doesn't necessarily mean louder. I've heard too many hot pickups that were just more midrangy without being noticeably louder.

darn physics .lets not forget capacitive reactance core saturation resonant peak and nimkilfitimch.

Let Herr Lull decide then, Mark, whatever he thinks best for a TB II that should retain a certain brightness.

Back ASAP with news.

I've contacted MLCG several times for the last two-three weeks with no results. Btw, one of my questions was the better choice for TBII

Don't know what's up there, but I just got off the phone with Mike, they have plenty in stock. 8K vs. 9K one is a little hotter that simple. He didn't reccomend one over the other, personally I like the tone of both my '89 and N.S MkII with just the 8K neck pup solo'd. It's probably along the lines of Baz' thoughts I guess - For me it certainly isn't a volume thing.

Could you please enlighten when these will be available for sale?

I'll check. 

Any news? Thank you
