Terry M. Posted January 2 Posted January 2 This is such an amazing colour. Shame it's not a 5 string. When you say you "needed a 4 string" for a specific gig was it a visual thing and/or part of a tribute act? Just curious 😊

KingPrawn Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Such a beautiful bass. What's the story behind what looks like a wire from the bridge pickup to the bridge?

It’s a vintage jazz bass thing as far as I know, there will be people on here that can answer in more detail than me but… I think it started as a cost saving measure in the 60s to avoid drilling an extra channel to ground the bridge and then has become more of a vintage correct thing - something along those lines anyway! 1

There is always something to learn about these instruments.
