To All,

Were the bridge pickup covers ever metal? I pulled mine out of the case the other day and was suprised to find it was molded plastic. It's been off for years and years (early 80's) when I bought my bass. I had always thought I remembered it was metal.... I guess not. This is a 4001

Cheers ...

Yeah - it says in stock 07/10!

Cheers, Mike

To All,

This pedal sounds interesting.... Where is this available now. I look it up on line and it does not seem to be in stores yet. Am I missing something or do you guys just have the scoop!

Cheers, Mike

Anyone.... anyone seen this before?

Hey All,

I recently saw a '76 MG 4001 that had a chrome pickguard and a chrome truss rod cover. Upon first insepction, I thought they were after market but as I looked closer they seem to be factory issue. Has anyone seen anything like this before?

To All,

I was fortunate enough to aquire an unused V63 a couple of weeks ago. She is absolutley beautiful!

In playing the other night, I heard what I thought to be distortion from my amp. After further investigation, I found that the neck pickup would 'buzz' on certain notes. The pickup is very ...

Hey All,

I know there have been many posts about strap locks...

I was suprised to find that the screws holding the strap buttons on my V63 were quite a bit larger then the wood screws that come with the Jim Dunlop strap locks. I am thinking that I will have to drill out the holes in the strap ...

Hey All,

Thanks for those suggestions.... Looks like I'm going to Stu-Mac for some files.

The volume suggestion is helpful. I had the bridge pickup on 6-7 to balance the neck. I may just pull the pickguard off to satify my own curiosity and try and see how that horseshoe assembly is put together ...

Hey All,

I'm new on the forum. I just received my V63 late yesterday, just in time for rehersal! By the end of the evening I had got to a really nice, balanced tone and my bandmates commented on how the bass cut thru the mix well.

There seem to be a noticable difference in the output levels of the ...

To All,

Is the tone circut in the C64 and the V63 a Bass Cut?
