Hi again!
I'm on a roll and planning on going through my Bach birds next. I have two of (I think) the second, thin boded run (baby blue and white). I have most everything I need except tuners. There are so many options out there that I'm not sure where to begin, but I'd like them to look as close to stock (for a 60s NR) as possible. Have any of you gone through this and found a good option?
Also, have any of you had your tail pieces lift from string tension? It happened on both of mine about 6 months ago (I noticed it on each bass within weeks of each other). That's part of why I'm inspired to pimp them out now, because I have to fix that issue anyway (I believe the screws on the tailpiece were too thin and short).
I'm also finding that the pickup route is a few millimeters too close to the neck for a 60s spec pick guard and pickup to drop in without slightly routing out the pickup hole. I know I'm WAY late to the party, but I thought I'd mention it.
