  1. Quite a few good basses, but you don't want good, you want great, right? Dare to be different! Reverend Thundergun, one of the best-kept secrets in the bass world...it's a super P bass.
  2. First time I ever saw a Thunderbird was in a pop band....1965! https://youtu.be/FFNoDsOmluA
  3. Not a big fan of Greyburst but I'll try one out as soon as they start showing up.
  4. My favorite...Fender should have used this headstock on the Meteora basses.
  5. I like the headstock.
  6. I like the slots cut into the pickguard!
  7. Does the Embassy have rolled fret edges?
  8. Sorry, I should've simply stated that they're high tension instead of asking it.
  9. Aren't they high tension flatwounds with a very stiff feel?
  10. Too bad there isn't a Squier version.
  11. Still worth it to me.
  12. $10 here but I'd pay $20 if I had to.
  13. I'm guessing you've tried Amazon and Ebay.
  14. I can get far more aggressive with this than with my fingers.
  15. One level below a Classic Vibe.
  16. Some people might disagree, but I think Fender simply doesn’t care. I was excited when this bass came out until I noticed the typical truss-rod access bs, but that was only strike one, and let's face it, no chance of hitting it out of the park now with two strikes and the batter standing there with the bat on his shoulder and the next pitch halfway to the plate.
  17. Supro used them on their Huntington basses.
  18. As for those "Jazz basses have two pickups" remarks, I can think of two of the top of my head with only one. So...
  19. If that doesn't work, I'm going to suggest an older Dean Exotica with the Aphex System electronics. Dean Exoticas have very slim necks. Really no different than my other electric basses. https://youtu.be/ZUIKUAYND6E
  20. Something new from Fender. Available in 2-Color Sunburst, too, but it just doesn't work. Sorry Fender, you should've gone with Shell Pink. Sweetwater...$1,299.99. (Yes, a lot of money for an MIM, but...)
  21. Reverend Thundergun SPLIT BRICK Strong lows and highs, open mids. Like a vintage P bass pickup but with more beef, yet retains clarity. 43 gauge wire, ceramic magnet, 8.5K ohms. THICK BRICK Warm and thick with strong mids. Output and punch like an active, but more organic sounding. 42 gauge wire, ceramic magnet, 7K ohms.
