Well I never thought I'd see the day.

They did this for this hot mess of a bass for the guy in a band called Sleep.

A real aesthetic nightmare if you ask me, but hey, to each his own.

They also have a newly engineered bridge with a more normal type of adjustable saddle. BUT they kept the mute thingy that probably less than 1% of Ric owners actually use.
