I dreamed that somebody bitch-slapped the seller for asking that much.

I dreamed that somebody bitch-slapped the seller for such a hack bridge pup route job and having the audacity to call it a (potential) EB3.... then asking that much.

As for the tilt 'fix' I prefer the ole screw under the rear (supporting the back end) or even better/no new holes; a trapeze tailpiece.

How does that keep the bridge from tilting forward if it is UNDER the rear?

Dave, sometimes a generic "LOL!" isn't enough.  ;D

Similar technique to curing Rickenbacker tail lift....

 Maybe he misplaced the decimal point. I'd let him pay me $7.85 for it, if he picked up the shipping cost.

Someone posts a link to a Gibson bass carcass, and next thing you know, there's a discussion about screwing under the rear. Go figure.

I gotta admit, I am somewhat intrigued by the crudely enlarged cavity...............

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
