I hesitate to post this. $45 Thunderbird pickups.

Nice find!

I've never been thrilled with the #3 wood screws used to mount Thunderbird pickups.

I have been thinking about a better way, and here is what I've come up with.

Using a 4-40 machine screw and an EZ Lok steel insert stability, adjustability, and longevity are all improved.

The insert is set into the wood using a screw and washer so it sits flush at the surface.

During installation, I use a washer at each end of the spring, so none of the compression force is pushing the insert's threads out of the wood.

All of the pressure is applied to the internal steel threads and the back of the pickup.

Surgical tubing allows the "spring" to be custom-sized for the application.

I will be listing a Brand NEW 8k Crome one next wednesday when I receive it. I bought it for my embassy bass but fortunately I was able to find an original Chrome one for my restoration.

Go back a few pages I posted two videos.

Been trying to get to the vids, but Facebook keeps flipping me the bird (no pun intended). Do I have to be FB friends with you to see it or is there another link?

[Stjofön Big]

Yes, there is another Link. And his name is Wray...

Where's the like button...?

I am not sure, maybe. Send me a friend request if you want.

Ah Heinlein...... must reread that one again. I am between John Connolly books. Resorting to political biographies at present.

Oh yes, there was a suggestion that a better class of discussion regarding Gibson basses could be had here.

If you do grok that one, then ensure it's the uncut version...

A pair of the 9.2K's arrived today.
After day job time is already packed(NBD) but will try to get the meter out and check the 8's versus the 9.2's with a picture. Install work was on hold waiting for these.
