Mr Bassman

'twas nice to meet up with Roger this evening and have a chat over a cappuccino. I just bought his PJB SFC and he agreed to meet halfway to avoid the stress of packaging and waiting in for couriers. Thanks Roger, you're a true gent!

[quote name='keeponehandloose' timestamp='1370987416' post='2108440'] i would take some off the bridge where you said Pete, but the drilled hole still needs to be deep enough to take the full stem of the adjuster, or the top half of the bridge wont rest on the wheels [/quote] Agreed If you've got adjusters It's a lot easier to reduce the leg area than take some off the top.

Make sure the bridge feet are in full contact fully with the belly. If the bridge is at a slight angle output will be low.

Just had a pleasant drive out in the countryside to meet up with Jon and hand over a cab he bought from me. No probs easy transaction from start to finish Nice to meet you Jon, hope the cab makes you smile

It was great to meet Paul again when he came round to try my Yammy SLB200 this evening He's a real friendly guy and a great bassist and now the proud owner of a great EUB Looking forward to seeing you play it live soon Paul Cheers Keith

Great idea Here's a link that may be helpful http://www.quinnviolins.com/qv_stringidsearch.shtml

Just sold Nils a Golden Bullet mic Fast payment & good comms Another great basschatter I'd be happy dealing with again

I'd say it's a DIY project bass It would be quite expensive for a luthier to remove the top and fix the bass bar It'd be a shame to scrap it

[quote name='Mr Bassman' timestamp='1368566138' post='2078755'] Don't know if this helps but I've got a Wilson K4 on an EUB and it sounds great pizz., but not arco, as with many bridge transducers. [/quote] Just been experimenting and found that a good arco sound can be achieved by rotating each individual sensor to it's sweet spot It will take some time to balance them and it's too late in the day to go any further So far I'm impressed with the K4

Just sold Rory a pickup Nice chap, good comms and fast payment Hope it does the trick

Tell the misses you're just looking after it for me, then when she want's it out of the way I'll come and collect it
