I'm really glad BaCH changed the headstock to the large Gibsonesque-type on the NRs we bought. To me the Ibanez version looks okay, but would look better on an Explorer-type guitar or bass.
Those engineering drawings are cool. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you made it through the night!

Well, here's me in my prime. I managed to find a position where I could rest my arm on top of of the bass and my hand was right at the strings. I only had about 1 1/2" of forward finger motion, so I cranked the volume a little.
Here's my finished bird. It endured the outside pretty well last night.
Glad you made it through the night!

BUT, Apple basses would never stop working for no reason.

This fits very well in the WTF category of bass, but I have to admit I find it utterly fascinating! Bet it sounds cool too.

Thanks all! Actually, I'm glad you guys like the Mustang on the p/g. I probably would not have put it on myself but since I got the bass from a buddy who's had it for years, I'll leave it on as a nod towards him. Uwe, I think it's one of those decals/stickers which is composed of an outline only, made of some sort of vinyl or something. This type is pretty common in the States, especially on cars and trucks.
Does fit in that spot well, doesn't it? When the shop told me there was nothing wrong with the pickup itself, boy was I relieved. The Vic is REALLY punchy and strong in the mid-range and I'm finding the beveled edge on the top of the body to be really comfortable.
This weekend I'm going to weigh the Vic and the Ripper and see which one is really heavier, but I definitely believe the Vic is better balanced now that you guys have mentioned it and I've tried both.
As far as LPs, iPods and stuff, I honestly think cds are the bane of the music world. As a dj at a college station, I'm forever frustrated by cd players which simply refuse to play certain discs. And usually I'm in a rush when I open a case for a cd, and the lid goes flying off one direction, then the other half pitches out of my other hand while the disc flings off invariably landing with the wrong side down. I love LPs!

Serial No 80842609, manufacturing in Nashville, TN, March 25th, 1982, Production No. 109. Pots, serial/parallel switch and strings replaced. Pickup mounting tabs repaired and volume and tone knobs now replaced with the correct ones. I like it and it sounds great! Practiced with it yesterday evening and it's not as heavy as I expected. Honestly, it feels lighter than the Ripper.
