Tasty work there beav - even if I'm not a huge fan of the way a BAII looks. I'd love to salvage a G&L bridge from somewhere & throw it onto an SX or MIM.

You'd have to route the body to do that. The G&L bridge doesn't mount flat to the body. You'd have to route out a channel to acomadate that bridge. It is a nice bridge though, just not as simple as mounting a BAII, Gotoh, Wilkinson, Hipshot, Shaller etc.

Yeah. It makes me want to learn how to play upside down.

My vote is for Amistybleu!

Dude, yours is killer too, no doubt. I think Amistybleu just nailed it though.

Certainly meant no offense in my post (not saying you thought I did, but in re-reading I guess it coulda came across as harsh). I guess it's the cream-colored pickups. lol

Sorry, amistybleu was not entered in time. But that bass is awesome.

Hambone is leading, we need more votes.

Edit: I made a mistake, amistybleu is on time and eligible to be voted for. Sorry about the mix up.

TAPE: Since its not a new bass, i see no harm in posting an update. But quote me in your post so that its obvious to everyone else that your post will be allowed for this months voting.

As for BobWestbrook's question, "What are the criteria?". You make your own criteria. Whatever bass you like the best, you can vote for.

And from now on, please title your post VOTE. not just put the word vote in your post. it will mak it easier to count if its in the title. I have a feeling this thread will have alot of pages, so i want to eliminate as much hassle as possible. thanks.

Also, if anyone wants to edit their current post and put a soundclip in it, it will probabaly get you more votes. People want to hear the bass, so they know it doesnt just look good, it sounds good too.

And no, Brices do not count.

I quoted you at the beginning of my new pix post.
