Bob I know, My BBR has the VTC/pull pot, but no sticker. Is the sticker an afterthought, after the VTC went out for a while, was my question.

What does "cut the pull pot" mean?

Cut into production - as for the sticker - I wish they wouldn't put them on !!

Mine is coming off, the pictures I took were seconds after opening the case.

Here's another pic I took recently to show that it fits in an Epiphone bass case that I currently have on Ebay.

Steve - place the sticker at the bottom of the neck where it meets the body of the bass. that's where I put all of mine. No one can see it and it stays with the bass

Good idea, Andy! Can I get it off of the pickguard without leaving a lot of sticky residue in that spot?

Steve ... if you can you are a better man than me ! Took the Made in America sticker off my new
Blue Boy this afternoon - took an AGE to get the pickguard clear of the gunge !!

I stick the "Made in America" sticker to the back of the TRC cover.

That keeps it on the bass, but completely protected.

The residual adhesive comes off easily with a small amount of WD-40 or a little olive oil.

Cheers Joey - I wish I'd asked earlier !! WD-40 can was inches away & I chose to ignore it

Well, it made it's first stage appearance this weekend, and definitely a joy to play! I'm gonna see if I can get Jeff Rath to put his special "tune" on it though, he knows how I like them set up! Got to get the pickups a little closer to the strings...you know, that kind of stuff.
But....it's a killer

Steve ... I love to set up Ric basses ... so come by my humble workshop ... you can play the new 5 string fenderbird as well ... and that is the best looking Ric you have ever owned ...

I'll make some time this week to stop in. Appreciate that, my friend!

Cool Pics Steve. Good to see you rockin' out on a Rick. That bass is beautiful.

Bob, now you know about WD-40 for next time.

I like how you guys keep the "Made in America" sticker on the pickguard.
