I considered driving up to "MEE-bayne" (that's a joke; it's pronounced "MEH-buhn") this weekend with my son to see if he wanted it, but he's decided to keep saving money for now.
I totally understand why players who like Firebird minis don't like the humbucker conversion, but I'm one of those guys who has simply never like Firebird pickups in any configuration other than in a 12-string for jangle rock. At the moment, I'm really hankering something very different: a low wattage 6v6-based Marshall-style amp, but $700 seems to be a nice price for that particular Eclipse and makes it tempting.
