Welp, it's not like you're not busy Bruce! More power to ya! If it ever happens, PM me.

Maybe another dusty box will surface with some bridge covers? :cool:

This thread always has a lot of happy anticipation bubbling up and folks who appreciate super cool basses! Congratulations to any and all who are looking at an imminent NBD! I drop by every once in a while to ask Bruce if he has any bridge covers built up. Bruce? Do you have any bridge covers...

Thanks Bruce. You do amazingly beautiful work as it is. I'll PM later after school so you have my eddress again for if/when you get some covers plated up. It'll be worth the wait! Peter Brooks

Ahoy Bruce. AUB #371 caretaker here. Just checking on availability of pickup covers and mini thumbscrews. I ask every few years and I hope that's seldom enough to forgive the hijacking of TB threads! Cheers!

Like our friend Bruce, AUB-1 #371 has come off the operating table smelling like a rose! The mystery PUP is re-wired and in GWO, I replaced all the sweat rusted or stripped pickguard screws and put on the new LaBella DTFs that Jason sent from Fret Nation. Set the bridge as Bruce suggests - at...

@Bruce Johnson: Yep, I was afraid that the string tension of a set of guts on the Ampeg would be too loose. I had a set on my Upton hybrid string bass with wound E and A strings. I liked them, but they needed sanding and oiling and I got tired of the maintainence. I was shooting for a more...

@bluesblaster: Hiya neighbor! The White Sidewalls and the Rockin' Hollywoods along with the Fabulous Jaguars were hard working TC bands. They played more in town gigs. My band was the Fantastic Convertibles which seeded from the '80s punk band, The Nitro Brothers. I joined the 'Verts in '86 and...

Hello Bruce! I messaged you at your website and thought I'd try here too. AUB-1 #371 is needing a fresh string set. I really think she needs a bridge cover too. I'm feeling like I want to get the bass back to a more stock playing condition. For many years I used the bass with inexpensive...

My current employer, Sherwin Linton knew Marshall - knew Johnny very well too having met him in 1957 and worked with him live and on John's TV show many times. I go up to Sherwin's place to practice and there's a pair of Cash's boots in the corner that John gave Sherwin on stage at the SD state...

Hey, anyone have any settings for the internal pots in the pre-amp that they love and can share for this unit? Also, how is the battery life for those of you using it? I know a lot depends on the bass, strings, set up and touch, but I be 'jes looking for some cool tweaks. :hiding: I seem to...

...is the way to go. Dampits are OK for travel and bowls of water or other stop gap measures, but a humidifier is the only way to actually force humidity into the air. Other methods rely on evaporation... I bought a Holmes "Bionare" humidifier for around $70.00 in 2007 when my Upton Hybrid was...

My Upton Deluxe Hybrid 2007 Opus 113 has had no major issues. I live in the Twin Cities Minneapolis/St. Paul, and I play in many venues both inside and out in most seasons. I have a very small, less than half an inch of top that seems to be coming away from a side near the bottom corner adjacent...

Now, can I interest you in a nice Chihuahua? Bueno Fortune Señor!
