Sounds good, i'll give it a try.
Thanks

As usual you guys come through with good ideas!
When I make the tailpiece swap, i'll have all controls out of the body.
That will eliminate the possible finish damage.
I'll grab a can of radio shack c/l and try that.

Can scratchy jacks be cleaned up with the same stuff?
I know my guitar cord is ...

OK, Thanks for the help (jps),(rickfan60)!
I'll try to have all parts at hand when I start this tuneup.

What do you guys think about that push-pull treble tone control pot mod?
You know...the .0047 cap. deal. Yea ya know! Is it worth it?

Thanks again

Hello again fellow Ricksters!

Found a tailpiece for my 79 bass but have a queston.
Is it safe to remove the strings without fear of damaging the
neck? Should the neck be clamped stright?
What is a good cleaner for the Pots and Jacks while i'm in there?
Thanks

Thanks for the help guys!
I've checked the one on ebay and will watch.
Can these tailpieces be stripped and rechromed?
Looking at the color again, I see no wood grain just a cream color with
a black binding. Could this be a Ric color or repaint?
I picked up this bass from a guy in a club in Phoenix ...

Where would I find this part?
I know someone has the answer!
Need complete with bridge, mute etc.
serial# on bass is SC1267

Is the mapleglo finish subject to yellowing?
Help appreciated!!!
