Well, it has always been that way, hasn't it? Our Queen is infallable, so clearly this was always the plan. Ah, the royal jester needs to write an ode about this.
As the saying goes, "there's a reason for everything".

I've got one of these as well, but not so 'curly'.
Mine has a 'sort of jazz' shape with a Rick-like scale.
They're not all great, but so many basses/guitars were coming out of the Matsumoku factory then with different badges/brands that odds were some would survive to become great sounding instruments! And as most were short-scale, there were the odd full-scale (34") basses made also. My first bass ('66) was a MIJ Stadium (same as ones badged St George, Teisco and probably others) and it was full scale.
I put forth the idea of making #62 an honorary position held by Mr. Dietrich a few pages back! Apparently the idea had to come from wunna the cool kids

That's probably where I stole the idea from. Everyone needs a writer, y'know.
First time in my life somebody thought I was a cool kid.

I'll share this with all of you since it comes up every now and then, here's a couple of shots illustrating the process of removing the plastic case from TB Plus and similar type pick ups. The tool is a Xuron Cutter and to start you simply catch an edge and start peeling back, yummy!

Yer record is still safe. I was referring to Larry... Derek... Jeff... Carlo... you know... pretty much everybody else.

Well, if you didn't they'd rattle, right? How's that going to sound when you have your SVT turned up?
They come off real easy though, it's about like peeling an onion.
It eliminates any chance of oxidation and it eliminates any chance of the windings moving due to vibration over time.

It all comes full circle regardless........................
I'm comparing to guitar pups w/metal covers. usually there's one little tack of solder on the bridge side, and one on the neck side & that's it. I'm not criticizing it by any means... just curious about the thinking behind it. Larry shed a little light on it for me
