I hesitate to post this. $45 Thunderbird pickups.

Still waiting on my pair of 8K pickups. They are intended for my 08 Gibson TBird IV when they get here.
Has anyone mounted a set of 8K pickups in a TB IV yet?
What are they like? How much difference would a 9.2K make in the bridge position?

Seller says they made about 70 of the 9.2K's "per customer request" so someone mentioned it and they actually listened. Imagine that!!??!!

Yep, he is responsive. Similarly, nickel versions in about a month!

Haha, so we all bought the 8k chromes first. Then the 9.2 K chromes. And subsequently the nickel ones.
A goldmine!

But now you are forewarned   

[TBird1958]

Nickel ones wouild work very nicely for a project I have, very cool!

[Basvarken]

Well there also are gold coloured pickup casings for sale on Ebay. I guess that would be an option too.
Although I wouldn't want those.

Hey, great to have options. Just remember how hard it was to find *anything* in these pickups not all that long ago...

Finally got my order in.  Two T-bird pickups, with rings, are making their way to Edinburgh.  The total cost came to $115.30, as I specified a slightly quicker delivery time and I ordered a ring with each pickup. I'm slightly frustrated that these didn't show up on Ebay if I went through the UK page, though I see that chap is selling empty pickup shells and rings again.

I'm guessing these are the lower resistance pickups, which works for me!

[Basvarken]

Mine came in today too.
Now I'm going to have to decide which bass I'm putting them in.
Too bad the BaCHbirds are all sold out. Think I'll just order a Fenderbird from BaCH...

So when do we get sound clips?  Anyone?

Only needed the one gold one and that's already in the PC now...

Go back a few pages I posted two videos.

  I really really like these all the Thunderbird hallmarks are there, the sparkle and inherent overdrive. One thing that I always found with Thunderbird pickups is the notes on the upper register on the D and G string leap out and in that regard these pickups do not disappoint.

Very true. Glad to hear these replicate that aspect.
