The second pic is my '89, I bought it new back then, originally it had all black hardware which was changed out for chrome - certain individuals from "The Dudepit" were responsible for this depravity. With Mike Lull pickups I realized I could get very close to a real '64 in terms of sound, yet still have a bass that I could take to most any show. The yellowing finish has really grown on me, I never thought it would.
That was an iconic and cool song during a cool time.
OK....if you throw in the old NR and Ashdown head--and deliver and stay a while!

I'm more of a BBQ person. I could live without a lot of foods, but BBQ would be pushing it. (And in my opinion, most BBQ is marginal at best. Few consistently do it right.) I'm as picky about good BBQ as tone, maybe more so!

I recently watched "A Night to Remember" - the (original) Titanic movie and DM was in it.
Always judge a BBQ joint by their turkey. Hands down, that's the hardest protein to nail consistently.
So where can I get one of these sets? And here's a pic of my 50th Anniversary Thunderbird, I'll take a good one of my Rex Brown and share that here - so can I join this club?

All yummy! I'd have to have the Oysters fried, otherwise maybe not.
I really like Rockfish, love Crab!
I may have said it before..a friend said he tasted a raw oyster twice..once going down......All yummy! I'd have to have the Oysters fried, otherwise maybe not.

What a feast!
In case you’re not aware, you would need to move the stud inserts to use the 2 piece bridge on a bass that has a 3 point.
Thanks for the info - now you've pointed it out it seems obvious (but it wasn't before)! I've since put a gold Hipshot on this Anni but am going to check out a '15 NR Tb and a Greco tomorrow, and the Greco has a two piece set up already, tho it looks like the studs would still need moving.
