Scott, aounds good so far, I'm waiting to see what all of you think after playing them through your main rigs.

Sounds pretty damn good, eh??? But truly the pickup rings are based more on the 70's design...Mike Lull and Thunderbucker are the only guys who get the rings right.

Mine's going into my short scale NR TB.  We'll see how it performs.

As for the rings, I'm not married to the vintage specs on those.

I'm going to get a pair of these for my Tokai once the Christmas rush is over I hope there is a pair left! The Ey Guitars ebay seller doesn't seem to appear on UK Ebay, but their standalone store seems to acknowledge UK pounds as a currency. A little odd, but I've bought a neck from them before today, so all is good.

Box of pickups and rings showed up at my eBay PO Box yesterday(DHL!!!) but only had time to open the box, see GREAT packing job, all the rings, and the pickups since we had a gig 100 miles away last night(zombie day today). Should have time to check the fit on the basses these were bought for over the holidays and maybe get some installed.

Got to wondering how these would fit in the Ibanez SRX here since its pickups are sort of "generic" sounding......

PS: I'll check the fit of the rings on Greco T-Bird pickups also since some are still "naked" on the Greco Les Paul clones.

Enjoy!!! Give us a full report!!!

[veebass]

Still waiting for mine....Xmas mail log jam!

[Dave W]

I wonder if the seller is puzzled by the sudden burst of activity.

[Bionic-Joe]

Good Point Dave...I noticed he raised his price by $5.00......

I ordered one about ten days ago and while reading your comments I didn't have the patience to wait with an added "out of stock" panic I ordered another one today. They will be installed to my Frankenstein long scale Hamer B12.

I ordered both from www.eyguitarmusic.com. 44 dollars with the ring.

$44 with the ring, but I'm sure you noticed that's a sale price. Regular price from the website is $66 with the ring. And shipping to the US is more expensive if ordered from their website (I realize you're a long way from the US).

If the eBay price goes up, I won't be surprised.

With these pickups, what mods do you have to do to a modern T-bird to make them fit? The pickups look shallower than modern T-bird pickups. Is it a simple as gluing in some material into the existing pickup routes to get the pickups close enough to the strings, or is some deeper modding required? As I mentioned before, I want to put these in my Tokai T-bird, alongside a new wiring loom, and I want to have these pickups and the rings on the bass. The Tokai is similar to the Epiphone T-bird, except it has a Fender-style bridge. The pickups are those tall, black jobbies with the tapered ends and the texture on the top.

Apropos nothing in particular, I have installed those black Epiphone T-bird pickups in both an OLP Stingray and a Cort GB74 in the neck position and they sound great!

Yes, shipping (to the EU) is $9.50 (as opposed to $5 on ebay) and there's an additional "gateway fee" so it's a wash. Essentially the same price. I used ebay myself as there's some protection if it gets lost, etc.

Ordered a pair for myself yesterday. I have no idea where they will wind up as yet, but I hate missing out on good deals.
