While you guys obsess over the bridge, I'll wait to get a report on weight.  I suspect it will come with its own Little Doctor Truss.

You could retro fit it with the brilliant german engineered one?
 ;)
They really took a step backward with the bridge, functionally (the German in me) speaking. There is no adjustment it can't do. Great bridge.


Hang on. Isn't Uwe supposed to be collecting this for the bridge? So he can't change it.

Looks like a Wilkinson tuneamatic/tailpiece combo.  Allparts used to carry them but discontinued this year.

It has an oversized body. I'm curious how big. Were the older LPB's similar to a guitar in size?

Yes, guitar size. Not sure this is larger though. The BFG wasn't, it just looked that way.

...until you play one of the Waterstone TP 12'er's which do have an oversized LP-shaped body. They're hollow, so you get a bass that neckdives like crazy whose body feels as big as an acoustic guitar. I'll bet mine comes close to 20 lbs, no joke.

It's like my wife always says:" You've got to be really in the mood for that big beastie."  :mrgreen:

I love the look.   Might be one for me if the neck is slimmer than before.

profile the neck you have of mine and finish/change the neck on your blank Paul to its contour.

nice thread, i missed being able to get online = hopefully all fixed now but i have some catching up to do in here.

Arrrgh, such burning, slicing and even devastating logic!!!!

It adds to the inherent "guitardishness" of the thing. But it could have been worse ... think two-point!
