Well, here's a mini bump for this year old thread...
Thanks to all the positive comments and encouragement here and elsewhere, plus a current streak of much needed work income (from
two jobs) I finally had a bit of spare change to get some replacement pups for a few overdue upgrade projects, prime of which is this TA60!
I ordered a set of GFS Mean 90's for this baby and I think it's gonna be exciting!
Everything I read is positive about these and I think it can only improve the sound of this baby, which is already not too bad. They look good in the picture:

I went all out for GFS's. Also ordered a pair of
Fat Pat's which I'm gonna try in my Parker Hornet PM20 (a solid mahogany LP'sh clone, but way nicer). I also grabbed a set of outrageously cheap non-GFS HB's but sold by them which are advertised as a bulk purchase of another manufacturer's over wound's (12K/14K) which I'll try in the Epi LP Studio.
The plan is to instigate a guitar domino program...swapping pups around until I get the best sound I can out of what I've got, which includes 2 Westone Spectrums which currently have those stock anemic UBC pups.
Stay tuned. Film at eleven.
