Please let me know the info. The bass nut and bridges has many grooves for 4 strings conversion. How about these replacement ? room037 Member Username: room037 Post Number: 97 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Tuesday, April 11, 2006 - 6:19 am:    I will get the bass within a few days.

This was repaired and returned to Rothchild. We show 2 previous owners of this bass. It was sold used by Elderly Instruments in 1992. room037 Member Username: room037 Post Number: 98 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Tuesday, April 11, 2006 - 3:40 pm:    Hi Mica, Thank you for the info. I am interested Cherry body. How about the sound ? This bass has many grooves on the bridge and nut. Especially these strings possible to be shifted from bridge grooves. If I can replace these bridge pieces, how to do about it ? Would you send me the replace parts ?

It is warmer sounding than Mahogany, it suits me well, but some people that have played it don't like it because it isn't bright sounding. This one says Cherry and Zebrawood for the core. I'm not sure how much of each there is, so it will probably sound a little different than I described for my bass. We can sell you the replacement parts, but depending on the bridge design, you might have to send it in for the saddles to be fit. When you get the bass, you can send me a picture and I'll let you know. Sounds like another interesting addition to your collection. room037 Member Username: room037 Post Number: 99 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Monday, April 17, 2006 - 9:14 am:    Hi Mica, I got the bass and here is the picture.
