Just a piece of 90degree angle that was 2mm thick I trimmed it down to the desired height.

This are the raw materials I wanted to use. For the coverplate i used brass instead of the sheetsteel and for the bridge I used a piece if square tubing because the angles where nicer/tighter. The corners of the U-bar where too round.

BTW as parts concerned we are almost there The only thing we lack is the knobs. Danny mentioned that there is someone on this forum who is able to provide them but I forgot his name. HELP>>>>

We have two original pickups and duckfeet tuners wich we are gonna use in a future project (yummy) (Danny ssssht)

So I'm gonna build a pickup from scratch using an original as a guide. I do a pictorial on that one as well

That would be Artie at front Porch Music. He may no longer have any as he only had a handful of them remaining. They were cast from original 'M' knobs. Artie goes by the forum name of bakeoboy.

I absolutely love the spaceshipped back on my GUN. Just like holding a girl, only better... it's got strings and RH100s.

it's looking real real nice. Just popped out of hospital today and first thing I did was checking on this great bassguitar on the forum. Man it (or betterto say she) just blew me away.
