Fly to the Rainbow... And likes a but of Tokyo Tapes for Live. Black Out tour of '82 was my first BIG gig, Hamersmith Odeon. Had been to the Marquee in Wardour St and other smaller venues. They used to have a giant scorpion from a previous tour over the Hammy Odeon Bar years back.

I think there may be some confusion as to saddle groves for the string and base plate groves for the saddle height adjust screws to rest in... I likes the Fender High Mass, Sleek 'n Meaty

I use a rubber handled screwdriver from the back...

I'd say Second hand Ibby SR305 and save some cash... but 16.5mm - Son has an SR306.

For Info, the Mk1 Barts often fitted in Ibanez and Cort are Reverse P in a Soap Bar... not my pickup Which might explain why they often score less favourable when compared to a Bart Full Humbucker Soapbar.

All this better tonal balance across the stringz, but maybe in the design time the halves were that way to reduce the bass boom of the E and Increase the treble bell of the G for a wider range of tones across the strings. Amps and Cabs in those days etc.

Just make sure no monies are owed, either way... or kit loaned, ìn or out.

Ahem... How about a Behringer BDI21 for £15 UK Posted? Cheap bit of Backup Insurance

Zoom B1on Marshall Super Bass Amp and Cab Sim... Patches set for Amounts of Lemmy - From Hawkwind to Real Motorhead, plus the stuff that came after. Comes with a Free Tuner! I just so happen to have a B1 On and a B1 XOn up for cheap in the FS... 😉

Something Fishy about all those basses...

I doubt it was down to the film... the different plastics of the ply shrinking or gassing at different rates - some early celluloid plates resemble thise 'Shrinky Dinkies' of the 80's
