This bass originally had a KTS bridge which I love and use on everything but it needed the BA . With the BA it's excellent . just those few extra oz. put it in the right place .
Cool, I wonder if a rear pickup would have the same effect? You've got me looking at the Warmoth page now ha, just i really dont like the BAs.
I love the BA but this is my second SC , the first was Maple and a good bit heavier and didn't need help for better balance . This is perfect though so it's a matter of a few oz. I don't think a bridge pup would be enough though . You could find another heavy bridge though . Armadillo maybe .
Forgot the Fender in my latest fotoshoot, fixed it today

Nice collection. I have always like the look of the Orions. Cheers!
Here's an updated shot of my Hofner 500/1 CT that I've modded. Now it's sporting a 59-60 celluloid control plate!
Great thanks man. Can you remember the bodyweights of each build?? Cause the sc can have quite a range of weight from what I've seen online.
Appreciate you answering my incessant questioning ha!
I'm out of town on an internship. I've always liked the Yamaha BB415s but they're getting harder to find. Got this gem on Craigslist. Plays like a dream and that Orange color is to die for 
SO JEALOUS! I've always loved Alembics and one day I shall own one, this picture is just perfection.Forgot the Fender in my latest fotoshoot, fixed it today

Also is that a Jason Newsted Elan in the middle left? Looks like it.
sorry I don't , I usually weigh everything too but those were custom order and they don't list their weights .
A new bass to the family. Fender Precision deluxe MIM:
And with her other sisters
And with her other sisters
It's based on Newsted's Elan as used in the '89 Seattle vid, combined with some of my personal preferences. - The neck profile is different, like his later Europa's. (His Elan has the classic taper with very tight stringspacing)
I wanted flame Maple neck laminates and went a bit berserk on the electronics. His Elan had three volumes and one Filter (before the Series II conversion) Mine has three Filters and a combination of pan pot and pickup selector.
Wow! I honestly didn't expect that, like I said before i'm so jealous i'm just stuck with my ibanez as my main bass.
Seriously one day I shall have my Alembic!
something for every occasion.You sir, have exceptional taste!
I found a 2011 Butterscotch Schecter Model T to keep my Michael Anthony company. Thanks to a TB member (Chrome Dome ) who pointed me to it. Got a great deal on it and it's in "like New" condition. If any one is interested in the stock "Hot P" and "Hot J" BassLines pickups, hit me up. It's going to get a Set of the Michael Anthony 78 MonsterTones or the Duncan Actives (APJ-1's) put in her.
