[quote name='ubassman' timestamp='1360766649' post='1976127'] Some good stuff on the video ....but, did I see right just after 6.30s a template where Ken's 'orchestral' setting is a low flat arch and his 'jazz' setting is a higher more curved arch? I would have thought that , orchestral players would ask for the higher bridge setting for volume and the greater curve for string separation ( for ease of bowing and to avoid inadvertent double stopping !) ... and that for jazz players a flatter curve and lower string height is desirable ( unless you need to thump out the sound !). ...interesting !! [/quote] A flatter bridge is typically preferred for double stops. But as Ken says, not everyone agrees with this and it comes down to player preference

I made this video as my luthier worked on my newly-acquired EH Roth double bass. [b][url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwHqwCvvRB4"]Double Bass Setup Video with Luthier Ken McKay[/url][/b] I really learned a lot watching him work, so I thought I would post it here for everyone's information. Enjoy! Best, Darren

The Strat red bobbin pickups are highly prized and sought after, these Jazz pickups could be a sleeper deal for someone! Here's a link: [url="http://music-electronics-forum.com/t21329/"]http://music-electronics-forum.com/t21329/[/url]

Thanks for sharing in the Fullerton love This beauty is still available!

That's right, Fender used the one-piece pickguard in 83 and 84 only, a great option for those who aren't so fond of the metal control plate Jazz Bass look. Also, wanted to comment on this neck: This one is a very thin profile, not quite as thin as the Geddy but close. It's a great, very fast neck!!

[quote name='mistahbenn' post='715515' date='Jan 17 2010, 06:04 AM']hi and welcome. Very clean one you have there. The g string looks to totally miss the polepiece though, is that normal?[/quote] It's the angle of the pic. Here's a more straight on shot:
