Didn't someone from here or the DP have a small gris gris bag he hung from the tail end of his Embassy to help with neck dive? Mark's would just hang a little to the left of there!

You're thinking of fur85 (Mark Furlong), who bought his Embassy from gweimer. He is registered here but hasn't logged in recently. See it here: http://www.markfurlong.org/allthingsbass.htm

Wasn't it Mark F. who bought the purple clown bass for Uwe because the US seller wouldn't ship to Germany? I think I recall a pic of him actually playing it at a gig.

I wasn't close enough with Mark F. to know whether he lets it hang left, right or middle, but he did the logistics for my SPCB and played it at a Katharina relief show thus anointing it forever.

Chris Squire had a bag of washers or something on the end of his non-rev (which now belongs to Vincent Gallo, along with some of Squire's other basses) to counteract neck dive.

You could always rout out a section of the body and fill it with lead...

I didn't just say that out loud did I...?

Damn...! I did....!

shh... I'm not here... Uwe will be displeased...

Tommy Stinson did that with at least one T-bird back in the day.

Gotta admit, Dave, that I have thought of using that idea and filling some of the void in my RD to rebalance her...
