aidanhallbass Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Posted this in build diaries but maybe this is the better forum to show it off Just thought I'd share my finalised project, Started off as a bog standard Epi Thunderbird - bought from a fellow basschatter - (not the classic IV pro) mainly due to the fact that the input jack is front facing - more authentic looking. I fitted the following: Hipshot HB6C Tuners Hipshot Supertone Bridge Custom made '66 Thunderbuckers Gibson truss rod cover Gibson tophat volume and tone knobs Ernie Ball Power Slinkys Looks the business now. I may be tempted to get a Classic IV pro in the future and transfer all the hardware to that. I'd like to know what you think!

Muzz Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Love the pickups and surrounds - the look's very close to what I was going for with my Thunderland, although mine are just the covers and rings over Dingwall pups, and I couldn't find split older-style stacked knobs anywhere... How do the pups sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pst62 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Looks the business mate, and as for your idea of transferring the hardware onto a Classic Pro, Go for it. There's a Bargain here. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Epiphone-thunderbird-classic-pro-bass-guitar-/141108958125?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item20dabfd3ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
