I have a pair of Epiphone Vintage Pro Thunderbirds in sunburst and white. I really like the vintage look of them but the stock wilkinson tuners, although perfectly functional just didn't look right to on on the massive headstock so I upgraded them to gotoh gb640 res-o-lites, which are perect as unlike other large plate tuners they wind the normal way rather than reverse. Also being made of duralumin — the same alloy as the frame of the hindenberg, they are super lightweight.

You could probably stablise the crack with superglue or something. The cracked area looks like a prime spot for the finish to flake off if it gets caught on something or knocked again. I bought a white thunderbird vintage pro from trash converters for £250 including an epiphone hard case as it had a deep dent on the back of the neck and one on the edge of the headstock. As the bass is was white I was able to fill the damaged areas with white milliput epoxy putty and once it was scraped level with a razor blade, it looked good as new apart from slightly matt areas which could be probably be improved if I ever get round to sanding/polishing the repaired areas.

Don't believe HerculeIes's BS about being safe for the finish. have a hercules stand with the same grabby head piece they use on their wall hangers. I had one of my JMJ mustangs with roadworn nitro finish, and the grabby bit of the stand reacted with the finish of the neck where it held it. As it is a roadworn bass and I caught it early it's not a massive deal, but I now use use a t-shirt over the stand so it doesn't directly touch the bass.

When I was first getting into flatwounds I ordered three sets of Rotosound jazz flats. Tried one set - hated the tension and the gap between the windings varied for each string making each one feel totally different. I've bought many pedals to try out with my rig and then flipped them when they weren't quite what I'd hoped for, but I imagine a lot of us probably do that and if you buy secondhand you don't lose any value. The most immediate case of buyers remorse I had was when I wanted a hard case for a mustang bass, but for the same price the Fender cases were being sold at, I could order a custom-made heavy duty aluminium flight case, so I foolishly thought that would be a reasonable option and ordered one. When it arrived it was beautifully made and was well up to the job it was designed for, but I immediately knew it was far too big and heavy for my needs and would be totally impractical to use.
