Mr. Foxen

I got a rat tail file in a model shop that does for bass.

Was about to post in rickenfakers. Get your Boris on.

Cheers to Shockwave for the heads up, just picked up this Sound City 150, which takes me to 13 or 14 Sound Citys, retarded, at least this one is different.

Going for a totally different thing to I do, but this is a good sound, basically using all the most obvious stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Dy56iQd6Jg

Rick bridges are a terrible piece of design and Rick are too busy threatening litigation at anyone who thinks they can do the same thing better to correct it. The Hipshot replacement bridges seem good and solid.

How close to the surface is the broken end of the screw? There are ways to extract it.

Too thin and delicate to take the screw. Edit: Awesome that the vid has no sound from it.

The WinISD side of things only covers <200hz, so if you have subs supporting, might not be super relevant and you are best off high passing the boxes so excursion ceases to be an issue, and you won't be countering the subs output by having multiple sources of lows. Low port tuning (long port) or sealed box also rolls off the lows achieving similar.

Bad cheap pickups tend to be unpotted and thus microphonic. Plenty of cheap pickups are potted. You can tell because they are waxy. Haven't come across any other sort of badness in cheap pickups, but sometimes nice ones sound better.

I use hardwood veneer, I picked up a ton of scrap rosewood veneer from a piano makers.

Think these have come up before. Can anyone tell if the neck is appropriate to the totally wrong saddle position? Think it would really mess witht he proportions, but not sure if its the photo angle.

If the 2x10 is a full range cab, might not be much point, biamping is more for when you have specialist cabs for certain frequency ranges, for bass purposes, that often means running a guitar rig for mid and up, sending the crossover out above 100hz to a guitar rig so you don't toast the speakers, and leave the lows to a bass rig or sub. Running the bass rig full range and the guitar rig high passed gives a big sound.

Not convinced you can get speakers anything like the originals. They used 4 because they didn't have the xmax to move enough air.

Technically, if the Dad hasn't given consent, and the dude selling it has given consent to it being stored for a unspecific time, it could be construed as theft to be selling, and thus you are receiving. Asking the Dad would fix all that.

Vintage = person selling has unrealistic price expectations.

The stash hole is on Mexican ones.

Di you have a go on the amp though?

Don't think you need to remove the PCB, should be able to get at the slots in the pots using the plastic tube thing that comes with the servisol.

Cheaty way would be route in the bridge. Not sure a reset the neck option is doable, it collapsed cause there is no strength from the pickup route being there. Hard to fix that.

It is cloth backed so should be good for them to use. He was cagey about shipping to the UK though.
