Modern Gretsches have that tuners too!
I stop following this thread! I'm getting jealous! It's too beautiful. The Billy Bo is my nr. 1 dream bass....
No, I will follow it with tears in my eyes!
You're right Chris, I forgot that! Oh well, I just thought that style tuner was perfect for this particular bass. Sorry to make your life difficult! I've always wanted one of these too, but the price is just plain silly that Gretsch has on these. So, from now on, I'm just building what I can't afford! BTW, I play my 4005 clone all the time, it's become my main bass. So, building is a great solution to GAS!!!
