Single truss rod!!!
« on: April 26, 2019, 09:40:33 AM »
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.

That is wrong on so many levels.
The guy who bought the same bass twice — first in 1977 and again in 2023

Are you guys talking about the bass, or his ink?

Well damn Amoy.  Even in a testosterone induced stupor that would be quite a feat!
