    [quote name='john_the_bass' post='494916' date='May 22 2009, 09:56 AM']Is that a slightly later one with those pickups and bridge? I had an early f/l Thunder III as well, with a P/J config[/quote] Yup, as has already been stated, this replaced the P/J config. I find the tonal qualities amazing. The neck pup is still a P, but in a rectangular shell, while the bridge is a 2-spool humbucker. There's a switch which does series/parallel on both pups simultaneously. The Volume knob pulls up for 'out-of-phase' when in combination. The middle knob is a passive treble roll-off. I use it quite a lot. The end knob is a really peculiar active pre-amp which has an active/passive switch. From the central detente, turning anti-clockwise boosts bass frequencies, and turning clockwise cuts bass and boosts mids. To my ear, there's not very much of a treble boost, anyway, it's just right for the Pino Palatino sound - well, at least I can *sound* like him, even if I can't play like him!!! I picked this up with the original case in my local Cash Converters about 3 years ago for £140.00, so I'm well pleased with the above evaluation. G.

    If you're on narrowband dial-up, the graphic content makes this site bad news. G.

    The Guitar Fetish Jazz pups are getting a good following. I've got quite a few items from here and the delivery has been fast - StewMac can take up to 2 weeks - Jay sends his stuff out with an average delivery (to me) of 4-5 days.

    I honestly think it'll come out patchy. I used to work in a dyeworks and we could never get an even effect on clothes which had already been worn, no matter how many detergents & scourges we put the garment through. The oils from the body always were retained to some degree. I can't see how this situation would be much different. G.

    There's been a couple up on Ebay the last 2 or 3 years that went for about half that, give or take. G.

    Just want to award 100% props to Kongo. I was looking for a pup to put in my rubbish beater parts bass and he donated - yes, donated - a MIM P pup. Amazing. Thanks Man. Geoff

    If you're *really* lucky you might find an Ibanez Studio 8. Heavy, but as good as an 8 gets, I think. G.

    I will trade the following Ibanez RD605 (mahogany body) for a 6-string jazz f-hole. (WHY - quite fancy a Peavey Rockingham or a Burns Marquee Bass). Would also sell for £215 posted. Geoff

    Are the Gotoh's humbucking in combination (ie 1 being reverse wound/polarity) or are they each humbucking in their own right? G.
