Mod is complete

Post by DBR »

Hello Folks,
The Badass mod is complete for now. I have an issue with the way the repairman replaced the blank area. I will eventually get it done correctly using a chrome plate. It's aesthetically imperfect but not bad. It's a close match, but not close enough for me anyway. There is still a little bit of buzz in a few frets. But not like it was. So I can safely say overall I am pleased with the outcome as the sustain is just incredible. If only I can find find the mute mount, I will be pleased to sell off the bridge and tailpiece.

I should have said Mod is Installed. It's still not complete. I still need to cosmetically repair it along with a new nut. When it's really completed...I will show pics. Even CS' autograph has come off slightly. :( :( :( I think next time, (if there is a next time). (We all know what happened to Lucky Dube). :( :( :( I will ask Chris to sign the back of the neck. That way...It will never rub off. :arrow: :arrow: :D
I didn't tell him I sometimes slap & pop which is the area that has rubbed off. Dzmit! YES it would be nice to see them once more. Hopefully this next time support for a new CD, even though Drama just happens tom be one of my favorites as far as Chris' work is concerned.
