Nice! I was going to go with gold!

Hi Riis, Thanks for your advice. Once I removed ALL the strings the tuners dropped out as you described. When I had first asked my question, I had only removed 2 strings—as I wanted to double check that the new Gotohs would fit. I guess the tuners were under stress from the strings. and...

Thanks Zooberwerx, I will try that—thank you for your help.

Hi, I am upgrading my Ibanez SR306EB with some Gotoh GB350 RES-O-LITE tuners. I am having trouble removing the Wilkinson bass tuners that are in place. I removed the collar from the front of the headstock, and the small screw on the back of the headstock. I thought it would just come out, but...

Hi All, I just replaced the foam surround on my speaker in my 1984 200MB bass amp—I thought I would share the experience as the procedure of dismantling the all-metal cabinet can be tricky. As there is no video on YouTube showing the 200 MB being taken apart; I thought I would look for a...

Thanks for all responses. Very helpful. In the end I bought this one, as I am on a budget: TC Helicon/TC Electronics Switch 3 Clone - Handmade In The USA | eBay

Thanks for getting back to me. That would be handy though. Also, would you know if any footswitch would work to be able to switch between the two Toneprint slots they are available with the BH250?

Looking at mine again – looks better without the thumb rest!

Wow nice– that is one of the originals with that pick up. Maybe I will get some Rotos then as it sounds like that's what SD Curlee had in mind; thanks for all the info :bassist:

I love the 32" scale is nice – not too short. The action is a bit high, I had some one adjust it but it popped back up again so I took it in again.

My thumb rest looks original, but having at quick look at google images it looks like most don't have them. Where did you buy it new?

That's why I bought it, I always wanted one, since High School, 1978. They are good value, I got mine with an OHSC in good condition for $500. It's an International so Japanese.

The tapes a nice and mellow. I play through a JHS Lime Aid compressor, with an Ampeg BA115. The band I play in is Little Feet/The Band/Dead/Stones /Kinks so the sound suits that material. I have another bass – it's a Squire Jaguar SS (cheap but fun) and it has round wounds – I play it a lot...

I have a SD Curlee International that I got off Reverb. It came with La Bella Black Nylon Tape Wound Bass Strings; I was wondering if anyone knows what strings would have come with it originally? Thanks Barry
