What a gas! So I'm looking at the control layout, is it the same as a Series Bass? And TWELVE adjustable saddles? J o e y |

I can't quite figure out the saddles, Joey. I count only ten screws, and it seems clear that the two high pairs each use one saddle/screw. Best I can tell (with my glasses on), there are really only six saddles overall, so I don't understand the double threaded screws. Maybe the threads are loose enough to let you angle them a little? Seems pretty unlikely. |

The top B and E strings are double, not in octaves, so why would they need separate saddles? A little extra jangle wouldn't hurt either, I would think. |

Red flag #1: all of the saddles are adjusted all the way to one extreme of their range of travel. Red flag #2: The lack of "dings, dents or scratches" on a 25 year old instrument. Red flag #3: a starting bid of $6,450 (it seems too high to me). Regards -- Eugene |
