Nice score Scott.  I still have and like mine, even though Gibson didn't take our advice.  I do like my mods better, though.   8)

 Now that's how it should have looked, beautiful bass, Bill.

Thanks, it improved the look immensely.  I wish it didn't have the bridge, small headstock, mini tuners, and volute.  Otherwise, it's perfect!  ????

Helps prevent neckdive and broken headstock though  8)

There you go being practical.  I wanted a genuine reissue, warts and all.

It was easy.  I already had the bridge and pups on hand.  I have a Pelham blue LP Sig  Midtown which looks great with its chrome hardware.  I'm sure the NR would too!  Psssss....don't let Uwe see this!

I'm genuinely relieved that you are not in charge of having the Titanic rebuilt because I would see room for some slight improvements!  :mrgreen:
