It subtly changes the sound, and gives people yet another thing to endlessly debate the virtues of on an electric bass

I'm pretty sure even my privileged and well enough off self doesn't eat enough fruit.

Most Gibsons issued in 2014 had a "120th Anniversary" inlay at the 12th fret... Not the anniversary of a manufacturer, but there is the 20th Anniversary Epiphone Jack Casady...

Ahh, but showing you're keen and going for extra credit isn't the same thing as being given 10 songs to learn straight off the bat for an audition...

Right, let's get @paul_5gate out of the way. The way I read it, I reckon the majority ruling is T2 failure, but still OK for T1. Everyone OK with this ruling?

I'll be "that guy" - what are you wanting to achieve by changing the bridge?

I think it's a free choice, and it's none of my business what any of you choose. I don't really feel like sharing my personal opinion on this, because someone will likely come along to tell me how wrong I am, as is always the case in threads like this.

Thankfully well out of my price range, even their more "affordable" offerings.

I used one of these inline things when I was testing/repairing my Epiphone Jack Casady - I had to take the stock transformer out of the equation to prove that it was faulty.

Seems more complex according to this diagram:

I think I was referring to the electrically clever nature of it. Obviously too clever for me to implement (I hear you, I think it's (functionally) daft too)

Yes, I would imagine so. It's not in danger of turning into a singularity any time soon...

Thick and chunky. I was careful to put it in the same place with regard to scale length as it would be on a T-40.

There's a Peavey T-40 pickup in my DeArmond Jet Star, if that counts? I didn't do the clever tone control thing though, just a simple switch for series/single.

I awake from hibernation this coming weekend! If you're in or near Aberdeen or Peterhead, get off your fat one, come to one of my gigs and heckle me! Friday 23rd it's original music time with The Inevitable Teaspoons at Drummonds in Aberdeen. Music from from 8.45pm (we're on about 10.30pm), free entry. https://www.facebook.com/events/1393956658848714 Then Saturday 24th it's rock/indie covers time with Nine Lives at The Harbour Lights in Peterhead. Free entry, music 9-12. The snow's gone, you've got no excuse!

Aye, but who's going to be mad enough to issue that?

You've got this year to buy them, I'm aff it!

"Can you give me a strap button for my Kay?" "Aye, that seems like a fair swap..."

Replacing regular ones with straplocks would be... Just use Grolschlocks, one free with every beer!

I would imagine so.

I should point out that this is banter, I fear I might be coming across a bit too serious. Just digging you in the ribs...

Oh aye? Got an order number, have you?

If you pay the luthier a deposit in this calendar year, I'd say you're out. Talk is cheap...

Agreed, don't mess about with it any further. And if it is dodgy then shame on the retailer for flogging it as B stock - gotta check these things

In my limited experience with Bax, they'll deliver in the end. Might take a while, but I got mine - even a company bankruptcy didn't stop them.
