I like the bridge further from the butt end.

I believe that is called the "taint."

Aha, so that Gloria Jones / Soft Cell hit could've been named Perineal Love...


Uwe's comment: Hah, Rob, you beat me to it, dirty minds obviously think alike!

I'll never hear that song quite the same way again then:



"I gave you all a boy could give you." They really tore into it then.

I bet you say that to all the boys ...

But(t) of course.
Alles Ordentlich, oder?

I may really consider getting one somewhere in the future. Although my current DC totally covers all my needs in this field. The main question now is their actual weight...

[Psycho Bass Guy]

The Waterstone TP bass has that same size and shaped (or even possibly larger) body and it's a bear to maneuver on tight stages, actaully worse to deal with than the headstock! I guess I'm in the minority who liked the smaller bodies with three points and I hate Warwick tailpieces regardless of whatever bass they're inflicted upon, though most Warwicks do deserve that curse.

It's telling Gibson doesn't have the resources or desire to invest the relatively small sum in R&D needed to produce their own proprietary bridge/tailpiece.

That 'new' one looks like it's from Wilkerson, I wouldn't be surprised.
