Offical B.C. Rich Club!

Matt Touchard!
Matt is a friend and yes, super knowledgeable about BCR, his real love is guitars and the early electrics. He's certainly seen as many or more basses, photographed them and in many cases held them. He can look at the cut of an R logo and tell you when it was made and maybe the name of the luthier that carved it. However he isn't a bassist and hasn't owned hundreds of these as I have lol.

He has more BCR generalized knowledge but I'm no slouch with BCR bass knowledge lol

Oh, not comparing. Just that Matt is quite a knowledge base. Any idea where he's at with the book?

I might've asked this before, but now that I'm playing the Bodine a lot more lately since the new bridge, it looks like the strap pin used to be towards the back of the upper horn, where now it's at the top. This is how I got it. How do Eagle/Bodine owners thing moving it to what looks like the original hole would change the balance? I'd prefer it to get pulled into my body more.
