Dillion "T-Bird" pickup question

Post by AustinLeftyBass »

Got one of these on the way, always wanted a Bird.

But I'd prefer chrome pickups, do these look like they'd fit?

It looks like the same pickup to me, just in a different color. You could always ask the seller what the dimensions are, just to be sure. (Nevermind, I see the dimensions are included in the ad)

I took a pic long ago of what the Dillion had in it to compare it to the EPI tbirds.

and LOLOLOLOLOL Bigfishforever, a hell of a seller and I bought a ton of stuff from him.

just be prepared for a l.o.n.g. wait. usually 4-6 weeks because his stuff takes "the slow boat FROM China", but I have never had anything lost in 14 purchases from him in the past 3-4 years. Of course I'm on the east coast so you may get your parts sooner.

Quick review:
Heavy. Well-built, set-neck, Wilkinson tuners, traditional bridge, P-Bass wide neck, straight neck, very nice gigbag. Came with strap, straplocks, polish cloth, wrench.
Balances well on a proper leather strap.
Great, cutting tone.
