Jazzy: The ceiling's fan reflection almost got me tricked on your guitar's finish!

Had this one a while, but never posed on the sofa. =)

I just love this bass, and very much looking forward to the arrival of it's fretless companion this (coming) year. (Message edited by edwardofhuncote on December 23, 2015)

OK, I'll play:

Up to this point, I've never had these three together, since the Series was back at the mothership for some TLC.

Rusty - your black Ric has what appears to be a Joe Barden PU in the bridge position and a replacement bridge - ?

What did you do?

I ask because a few years ago (predating getting an Alembic) I upgraded both PU's and the bridge on my blonde Ric. The PU's are prototype Barden Ric replacements (I was told I was the first in AZ to have them) and the bridge is a Hipshot.

Both were drastic improvements over the stock versions.

Good eye David! I replaced both Rick pickups with Seymour Duncans. I got them as a set from Bass Strings Online, & they vastly improved the bottom end! The neck pickup looks cream in this picture but it is chrome. My bridge is one of the original Leo Quan Badass bridges. I bought the bass new in 1979 & changed the bridge & nut after about a year. Since getting my Alembics, none of my other basses see any action unless I do an outdoor gig with bad weather or at a venue I've never played & don't want to chance bringing the Alembics.
