We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Nice score Uwe!, I was looking at that ...

Now I'll go to TBird heaven one day. I saved that bass from a ghastly fate ...

It looks like it from the size of the open gear tuners, look how far apart they are in pic 3.

Hush little TBird, and do sleep well, Uncle Scott won't take you to Badass hell.  :rimshot:


Now the only thing I'm worried about  :rolleyes: is whether a prolonged stay in Utah might not turn the TB bass into a TP bass. TP as in Tea Party ... Indoctrination can be sneaky ...

Yes, it does seem to be accorded with Geneva Convention treatment!

I might reinstall the three point for historical accuracy AND because it is a sensible bridge. But let's hear first what Herr Carlston thinks of the Supertone.

By all means, put the three point back on. Nobody wants a well-designed easy-to-adjust bridge.  :P :P :P

That looks like the one floating around TB a few weeks ago. Wonder why it got turned around so fast?


By the way, I love my supertone bridge.
