Hi Mica, I sent this to your e-mail 3 days ago but am not sure if it got there so I'll post the question here. Please respond to my email address jrberg@telusplanet.net Can you quote on having the following done to a 91 Series I medium scale bass? - Move PU selector from lower horn to main controls - Series II electronics conversion/upgrade - Stereo/Mono switch - Satin rubbed neck - Neck relief for light gauge strings (possible heat bend?) Looking forward to hearing back from you. Cheers, John | ||

No John, I did not receive this email. I'll also forward this response to your posted email address. To move the pickup selector switch is simple, but then you have to decide what to do with the old hole. The least expensive thing to do is just replace it with a plain brass cover plate, you can get this engraved if you like. We don't mount the switch on a plate in the new location. 45 move switch 12 new plate for old hole It's usually cheaper to exchange the Series I harness you have for a Series II and drill the additional hole in your bass for the master volume. 400 exchange Series I harness for Series II harness Upgrades for all Series I or II is currently a flat rate of $750 For $55 you can get the stereo/mono switch installed. We can sand the finish on the back of the neck lightly for no charge. To get it like our current version of gloss finish/satin neck we'll need to shoot a new top coat and do a fresh rubout. That runs about $150. We'll check the neck and see if any adjustment for lighter strings is needed (it isn't always). Depending on the rest of the stuff we're doing, the price will run from zero - $85 for a heat bend. Please contact me before sending your bass in. My dad's time is booked pretty far in advance, and if you're been reading the message boards, you can probably see he's a little behind schedule trying to get Chris' 1976 bass whopped into shape. |
