The Last Bass Outpost

finding the #$@% tailpiece for a Dasson bridge is tough. I checked Bach and it seemed they want almost 100 bucks just for a tailpiece?? It was in  in one o' them thar' furren langajess...

The currency converter I used shows 1720 CZK = $91 USD. It looks like that's for the bridge and tailpiece, not just the tailpiece. Still, seems high compared to the cost of a whole BaCHbird.

Good for the court.

The behavior of the media companies has made me cheer "piracy."

IIRC William of Ockham (sp.?) predated Star Trek by a few centuries.

I did notice the 60 cycle hum today when the darn thing would even tune when I stood directly before my Ampeg SVT! Before that I had noticed that it was noisy under some conditions, but never gave it much thought. Maybe the wiring is not quite alright I thought.

Embrace the hum.

Become one with the hum.

Or wire up a dummy coil in the control cavity if you have enough room.

Don't feel bad about the time, you have other obligations. It's coming along well, you'll get there.

I've always loved the SCPB sound, just never could love the big-necked basses they came in.

Somebody figured this out well.

Didn't you notice the 60 cycle hum?

Robert's right, if it came from a pre-HB Tele Bass the bobbin would be gray.

I remember being told by a salesman that the Duke pickup was made by Schaller.

That's a 2000 series -- 2030, I think. I didn't care for them. The ones I played had uncomfortably wide and thick necks. They didn't have the usual Rick sound (or appearance, except for the headstock) and they were bolt-ons, so they never caught on with the Rick faithful.
