I'd have got away with it if it wasn't for you pesky kids!!!

Here's my Ampeg rig plus my brother's 15" cab

Here's my black T'bird with Scratch-It custom it scratch plate

First time I've seen a Ric accused of heinous neck dive crimes. I will have to dig mine out later, in the meantime here are some photos of my T-birds refusing to neck dive [attachment=246426:IMAG0666.jpg] [attachment=246427:IMAG0667.jpg]

Here are my White Tbirds

Wow, that is a beauty, especially without the pick guard

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1496268433' post='3310162'] But being a Fender kindof guy, I'd balance perfectly. Oh, go on....I tell you what, I'll use crayon. [/quote] What colour crayon??

Not sure if the photos have uploaded ok but hopefully here are a couple of pics with a nylon strap & no neck dive IMAG0666.jpg IMAG0667.jpg

Funny you should mention the Epiphone non-reverse, I should hopefully have one in need of some repair work on it's way to me shortly

A wide strap will also help, although I will say again I've had no problems with neck dive on any of mine whether I play with a pick or fingers. I think it's to do with the height & angle you like to have your bass at

Yeah, I know a lot of people complain about the neck dive but I can honestly say I've never had that problem with any of my Thunderbirds

I've not been impressed with the bolt on neck ones I've tried so far but the through neck pro's are a different matter. I've got currently got 2 Alpine white pro's and although they're not quite as nice as my Gibson's they are not far off, and for the price I think they are a bargain. One thing that did surprise me though was the difference in neck profiles on them. The first Epiphone pro I bought was ok but I found the second one too chunky & ended up getting the neck shaved, so it might be worth trying some before committing to buying.

I put my V4BH through an Ampeg Classic 15 and Classic 2x10 and like you I've never been short of power, but I've also never had a problem getting it to distort & breakup. I restrung one of my Thunderbirds with flats to cut it back a bit, which worked. My amp setting are roughly Gain on 4, bass on 7, mid on 6, Frequency on 3, treble on 5 and master on 6

Hi Burns-Bass, I grew up in Bream but I'm in Cinderford now. I remember the pub scene here in the 90s well, The Woodlands was my local in those days

Fair play, that looks fantastic too!!

Yeah, I paid £70 plus p&p although this was over 6 months ago so the price may have changed. If you email Marc via the site I'm sure he'll give you and up to date price for one

Here we go - The cover's approx 9.1 cm by 5.5 cm and the pickup itself is approx 6.5 cm by 5.5 cm.

No worries, just give me a minute to get a ruler

Hopefully the photos have posted ok? [attachment=245858:IMAG0655.jpg] [attachment=245859:IMAG0656.jpg] [attachment=245860:IMAG0657.jpg]

The Mojo Mudbucker is a special order not on the website I'll put up some photos of it, as soon as I work out how to!

The Mojo's are great pickups, I've got them fitted to one of my Thunderbirds. I've also got a set of the Eyguitarparts pickups in the link above fitted to one of my Epiphone Thunderbirds. They are good and great value for money but lacking in power compared to the Mojo's although this maybe due to me asking Marc at Mojo to wind the pickups I bought slightly hotter! I've just had a set of Mike Lull's fitted and so far they seem bright and clear but maybe a bit too modern sounding but some of that might be the new strings. I'd be struggling to justify the price of them if I'm honest I'd say my current favourites are the Thunderbucker 66s. They seem to have a warmer, more vintage sound and tone to me than all the other but YMMV

I've got a set of Mojo Thunderbird pickups fitted to one of my basses and a Mojo Mudbucker waiting to be fitted. Marc has also made me several wiring looms for my Thunderbirds as custom orders and I've had a Les Paul and EB3(SG) wiring looms too. I'm happy with all of the bits I've fitted so far and I've found him to be very helpful, friendly & easy to deal with.
