Dorothy? The color of the bass reminded me of the Ruby Red Slippers from The Wizard of Oz so she's the first bass I've ever named and the new owner said he's going to keep the name and that he likes it.

that’s cool. I actually meant the name of the colour.
Maranello Red, Ruby Red Slippers, Sparkling Burgundy? Candy Apple Red?


a lovely duo

Sorry! A style. Dunno why I was thinking D.

Thanks. Fixed the original post.

f’sure Miles, I can usually tell an A from a D.

:laugh:

Was it a drop in replacement or did you have to drill some new screw holes (ahem)?
I had to drill new holes, but the old bridge was misaligned. I *think* i would have just needed one new hole had the old bridge been properly positioned, but can’t recall for sure.
 
Does anyone else have this problem/feature on their Epiphone Tbird?

After turning everything "off", both vol pots and tone pot, I can still hear the bass through the amp though obviously at a much lower volume. So it never shuts off the volume completely. Of course it varies with how loud the amp is set, if set at a low volume then yes I won't hear anything. If set at playable with a drummer volume, then I get a nice bedroom practice level of output with everything turned down. Not looking to fix it but just seems odd.

None of my other basses have this "feature" :)
My Epi T bird Classic Pro does not do that.
 
What bass is that? Interesting looking.

:) Thanks!, it's one of mine called the Super SLX. That is an older pic of it when I had a Westone fretless neck on it. If you want to see it now (with a neck/hs design to my specs) you'll have to ask to see it as it is currently for sale. (tb rules and all)
