Well, almost!
I moved the bridge southwards quite a bit and its still a little out at the 7th and 12th fret (7th is like a tuning check, 5th fret on a guitar)
Sounds a damn site better now but the bridge has left two dents where it was before. And the outer E string snapped on tune up. So now its a 7 string!

Still could do with moving the bridge a smidge, but not today.
Sounds better now.

otis1960: A few years ago I wrapped similarly-sized apples, onions, and potatoes in foil, and offered the bucket to visiting 'Trick or Treaters' to take a pick. Oct 31, 2024 12:11:02 GMT

newdave: I was disappointed too but I don't think I'll really feel it until next year, when it will suddenly become all too real. Nov 8, 2024 19:52:53 GMT
