The Tubeampology Treble Bezel, again
« on: February 19, 2019, 06:05:01 AM »
After I don't know how many years playing with the handrest on, I installed the Bezel on my Shadow, and since then I can't put the bass down.

Different strokes. I put the handrest back on mine.

The handrest is great for pick playing, and I play a lot with a pick, I like the sound and I feel comfortable with a pick, but I can't play fingerstyle with the handrest. So for fingerstyle it was mainly the Fender(s). Now I can use the Ric for that too and it sounds great. The other two Rics still wear the handrest ('86) and horseshoes ('73).

I have been considering adding a hand rest/pickup cover-surround to one of my 4004s.

My '78 has the bezel with the little rest. I love it and if I pick up other Ricks it's strange.

You wouldn't dare!  :o
Do you think I should move it back a bit closer to the bridge pickup?  :mrgreen:
