Hi timmchale, It's the 3/8's mate, I've put Gotoh 707's on mine along with a Babicz FCH3 Bridge, it's not as clunky as the Hipshot.

At first glance I thought it said Milky Way…..
Now….. PETE Way….. there’s a signature Thunderbird waiting to happen.
Yeah a nice Natural grain 76 Thunderbird with sidewinder pups.... If only!

No, just their manufacturers designated model names, and never refer to them as "her" or "she" either.

I think this is has to be my all time favourite MDP product.

I've bought a few sets of their Fender alike WJBL200's over the years, all have been fine, also bought a set of their WJB750's, no problems there either.
I did notice not long back that their official web site is all about Bridges and Pickups, not a hint of Machine heads or any other hardware.

Too right P. Al's superb bassline at the end of P9C7 is all but indiscernible ~ complete waste of a tour-de-force there. Occasionally snippets would appear in their dub remixes which always gave me hope that the original mixes still exist somewhere.
Anyway, thanks to AW for being a huge influence on myself and apparently many others, playing all those stunning MGE lines ~ and many more ~ while still in his teens. Still amazes me🙇🏼♂️
I thought the 25 year anniversary edition would've put it right, but sadly it wasn't to be, and yes, the times spend trying to decipher the runs at the end of P9 Ch 7 were all fruitless, had to settle for the excellent Paul Gray's interpretation from Live at Shepperton.

Machine Gun Etiquette is IMHO The Damned's finest moment, I do think the Bass could have been higher in the mix though. Algy's playing on songs like Melody Lee and Liar always remind me of John McCoy. Algy was a great player, I fondly recall him knocking out John Paul Jones bass lines between songs, much to the disgust of the audience. R.I.P Algy Ward.

A greatly underappreciated player. Terrible news!

I bought a Boss Tuner off of Dave at the weekend, at my request he held off posting until a time which suited me, it arrived today very well packaged and in the exact condition he'd described. Dave was a pleasure to deal with.
Thanks again Dave.

Yeah mine was a great bass, though it was that heavy I could've anchored a ship with it, that's what took it's toll in the end and I sold it, to pit the money towards a Thunderbird.

I wanna gonna suggest Seymour Duncan SPB3's, but I see you've made your choice.
I had one of these back in the late 90's, it was a really dark translucent red with the same black anodised pickguard.
This is the only other one I've ever seen, mine didn't have the daisy wheel neck adjuster though.

GreeneKing currently has one for sale on here.

Epiphone Thunderbird Classic-IV Pro Tuner Replacement
in Repairs and Technical
Posted
My CP has the standard as the Epi one wasn't on the market back then, I have however recently sold a CP which has the Epi version on it, no difference in quality, and because it's designed to sit on the existing bridge studs, much less hassle to install. Bass Direct is the cheapest I've see them at £129, other places are wanting £150 or more.
