  1. I've had a set of Thunderbird pickups from Mojo pickups: https://www.mojopickups.co.uk/product-category/pickups/ I had a chat with Marc about the sound before I bought them, and he wound them slightly hotter for me. Really pleased with the sound and the service I got from him.
  2. I bought a non reverse thunderbird from Phil. Top chap to deal with, good comms and sorted a good place to meet up. I look forward to seeing the HW bass in the future ๐Ÿ™‚
  3. Purchased a Fender hard case from David. He's friendly with great communications and we had a good chat when I collected the case. Overall a very pleasant and easy transaction
  4. Here is my Epiphone classic pro that I had changed to a single pickup. The wiring is obviously different to a 2 pickup thunderbird so turning down the bridge pickup on a 2 pickup model doesn't give you the same sound as the one pickup does. Overend Watts used to have a shop in Hereford and I spent many hours talking to him about music and basses. He always said he felt the single pickup Thunderbirds cut through better than the twin pickup models. That to me sums up the difference perfectly.
  5. Similar experience here. I bought the Mk1 TB as a back up for my Ampeg rig but loved the sound so much I got rid of the Ampeg. I use two of the isobaric 212 cabs and I've yet to play a gig where I can get the volume & tone above 4
  6. Blimey, I never knew such things existed!! Having also suffered from the disappearing black pick syndrome I'm going to have to try these. Thanks Paul ๐Ÿ‘
  7. I really like the Heistercamp straps, although now I've found this thread I'm tempted by the Well Hung straps.......
  8. The black Dunlop nylon 1 mm picks for me. I can keep hold of them and they don't snap ๐Ÿ™‚
  9. I bought a Couch racer strap off Dave. Very easy to deal with, good messages, well packed and sent quickly. Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚
  10. Is the Couch Racer X black & white strap still for sale? If so I'll take it please
  11. I've had bad experiences twice with Bass direct, ordering Hipshot tuners and then ordering Mike Lull pickups. Never again
  12. I bought some schaller strap locks from Mike. Easy chap to deal with and an easy transaction โ˜บ๏ธ
  13. Looking good, and you've got a spare pickup to use on another build!! ๐Ÿ˜œ
  14. Davie bought a couple of Thunderbird pickups from me. Top fellow to deal with, quick payment and good communication. Cheers ๐Ÿ˜Š
  15. I bought a Couch strap from Tim. Quick and easy transaction, good comms and great strap. Tim was also kind enough to enlighten me about feedback threads and start one for me - Top man!
  16. I think my Gibson Thunderbirds are around 8 to 9lbs. My Epiphone Classic pro's are a shade heavier and my Epiphone Vintage pro is probably around 10lbs.
