Hello,
Seems that original Badass bridges are available again.
Is it possible to have an Euro Classic routed for those? I know that some were made in the past years with customer-supplied bridges
-
the Retro Series still had them

No, I wanted Rickenbacker pickups, I wanted this bass to sound as original as possible.
I understand you, but actual Rickenbacker pickups are not close to "real" Rickenbacker vintage pickups... The horseshoe pickup for example hasn't magnetic shoes but the ones in the '60s had them. If you want to get closer to that tone, you have to switch to something more historical accurate like Lollar horseshoe or somewhat boutique pickups like Creamery toasters.

Hi Clarky, No I did it myself, the toaster was impossible to get hold of in UK, had it sent from New York took 3 weeks to get !! sounds fantastic though.
Did you try to inquire about the Creamery Rickenbacker Bass Toaster?

Price are not so crazy, due to the fact that EB/MM reduced production in the USA and improved (as they state) QC. Considering ramping inflation all around the world, the prices of these new Classics are in line with the Fender CS offering, and they are better IMHO.

I believe that was the limited edition '76 nitro finish reissue, that was released alongside two nitro finish guitar models. Which is funny, because I don't think Music Man ever used nitro finishes when they started in the 70s. So like the Stingray Classic, it's a "reissue" of a bass that never existed, despite the otherwise historically correct featureset.
MM used nitro until 1978/1979, so the Retro 76 edition was vintage correct.

GM-800 is an awesome box. It relies on the new developed A2B protocol. The ZEN-core is a massive, modular synth engine that could be expanded in the future with many things.
Definitely in my wish list (I have a SY-1000 that I keep in order to have HRM modelling)- 2

Several friends have picked up the recent Chinese Dan Armstrong branded basses and were surprised at the construction. They said it was much better than they expected.
What? Are NEW Dan Armstrong basses out there??!?!

looks like he swapped the pick guard to a white one.
The white pickguard is included in the Limited Edition Rio Bass package as an alternative for the black one.

How do you adjust the intonation on this?
By turning the intonation screws( that are hidden under the strings in the picture you posted...) -
The bass will came in 82 pieces Limited Edition with Rio graphics, fancy inlay at 12th fret, custom wall hanger, Hipshot Xtender, custom case and string package.
The standard unlimited production is black, vintage white and seafoam green, without all the cool stuff, and will be put in production later.
