Plain and simple ; how well does such a system really work ? Any experiences around here ? cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 1003 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, June 24, 2011 - 2:07 am:    I was curious too, Wolf, so I did some "research" (read "Google"), and it seems the original neck was planed down & a metal plate attached - the fretboards are magnetic. In the dicussion I found, those with experience seemed split about evenly between "it's ruined every bass it was put on" & "mine was great". Of course, the former camp did include Roger Sadowski.....

I read the" Talk Bass " comments. It seems it might have some faults . I see the name reference ; Roger Sadowski .
