Post by: Barklessdog on September 28, 2009, 08:29:30 AM

Mr Watt just sent me these pictures of his "Dan" bass, which he is using two Rio Grande Pitbulls.

The relicing job is coming along great - just play the crap out of your bass.

Watt was wondering if this bridge who mount to the existing studs/posts on the "Dan" bass pictured above.

I can't remember, is this a modified SG Reissue? And is that an original bar bridge on it now?

IIRC the Schaller 460 was made for the spacing of the original bar bridge of the early to mid 60s.

eb2, MARICOPAA or Granny Gremlin will know.

I believe someone donated him a 60s EB0 or EB3?

As I recall, a guy named Dan drove from New York to Toronto just to give him the bass.  Watt named it after him.
