  1. Selling my Microbass 3 as I have way too many preamps! This thing does everything, and is built like a tank! Full disclosure, I had a couple of very small (and very common) issues with the pedal when the effects loop isn't being used. If you use the loop, or keep a patch cable inserted in the loop there are no issues whatsoever. I've left the patch cable in there for the buyer.

     

    Price includes UK postage.

    Those pickups sound great and very little volume difference between the neck and bridge pickups. I also like the finish, looks like one of those early eighties Washburn's 

     

    Thanks, I had to play around with the pickup heights, but pretty happy with the levels.

    It's all come together really nicely and sounds great! I bet it'd love a bit of dirt too...

     

    Thanks! Yeah, it sounds monstrous with some distortion... really thick and meaty!

  4. Here's some quick and dirty sound samples. Really like the sound of both pickups together. There's a real growl to this pickups, I thought the input was clipping at first. 

     

    1. Pick - both pickups

    2. Pick - Neck pickup

    3. Pick - Bridge pickup

    4. Fingers - both pickups

    5. Fingers - Neck pickup

    6. Fingers bridge pickup

    What were the import duties & wait times like, @Berserker?  I love the look of Thunderbird pickups and see some in my future.  The link you sent had them at the most reasonable price I’ve seen.

     

    I honestly can't remember, I bought them years ago. I don't recall a long wait though.

    Ahhh, yes, they are the ones I have an eye on for a potential Grabber/tbird style build (thundergrab?)

     

    Cool, I'll post some sound clips when it's done so you can get a feel for them.

    I like the  "busted burst" effect.   It looks as if it's been used a lot over many years, but well looked after on the journey. Not artificially reliced, just well played.

     

    Thanks. Yeah I like it, a little head start on the aging process!

  8. Bit of progress. The oiling process seemed to soak up a lot of the black stain so the burst doesn't look great, but I'm pretty happy with it. Waiting for the bridge and pickguard screws to arrive, I thought I had some in the shed! Then just need to modify the pickguard and install/wire the pickups.
