prowla Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 My latest project - a Hondo II It's off to get re-fretted and then I'll be setting about getting things working . I'll probably put a Hipshot bridge on it and a Seymour Duncan (4000 style) from my parts box and I've got to get machines (not sure why there were only three there!) and a nut. Quote
Harryburke14 Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 youve just reminded me Paul, I'll get the machines I have sent to you before the week is out if that is any help? Quote

Skybone Posted May 18, 2018 Author Posted May 18, 2018 Bought a set of the new Retrovibe pickups, the bridge pickup went in fine (loving the matching surround & cover too), but the neck pickup is too big for the scratchplate. Looks like I'll need to order a new one with a larger pickup hole for it. Anyway, restrung the bass to try out the new pickup, and it sounds superb. Not sure whether it's more a "new strings" vibe, or just sounds more "lively" all round. Quote

There's someone (Ali) selling a scratchplate on the rickenfakers group which they started to increase the size of the pickup hole. Quote
