Got grief for that when I sold my 51 RI....[/quote] Haha I had some tins out the other day for a certain P bass project and tried the 51 bridge cover on upside-down because it naturally flows that way then put them back again as I could be arsed with the "you're not doing it right" backlash.

Cat Burrito Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 [quote name='Happy Jack' post='1153969' date='Mar 8 2011, 03:47 PM']Are you sure about that bridge cover? Mine is this way round: [/quote] I didn't realise my post would be so controversial. Rest assured the bridge cover on my tele style bass I own is the correct way around too but the original post was just to show a 1973 cool bass. Sadly I couldn't find one with a bridge cover the right way around & yet 3 examples with upside down covers. Must have still been coming down from the Psychedelic days! Rest assured folks if I was the said owner I would simply unscrew the cover & flip it around to look like the one in Happy Jack's post Move along people, there's nothing to see here...

stingrayPete1977 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Mine will be a 77' Stingray in rootbeer brown one day! I have had a few close ones but I really want a minter like my 82' which is proving more difficult and costly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
