I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Rob, they just make you wait decades for the vault to open up again to reissue the old classics.

Bring out two new bass bridge designs..
One for the folks that like to do lots of adjustments (which is in the works anyway)
and bring out a slightly more accurate version of the c64 bass tailpiece (one that does not bend and will be cast from aluminum) and will be a drop in for the pre 73 basses....

The truth is I probably would not change anything...

Oh.... apart from the headstock on the c64 bass...

Announce a "temporary hold" on all right handed orders which will last years and only make left handed models.

HA !! Now you right handers know how it feels !! :D

First, I'd raise prices. That'll get rid of the backlog, easy. Next, I'd add more frets to all the guitars. Let's face it, 24 isn't enough. Usually when I'm shredding, I'll be hittin up a sick lick, just going with the flow and flying around the neck. Next think I know, I look down only to realize that I'm actually fretting the neck pickup! It's ridiculous, 24 frets? That's it? Who do they think they're kidding? I say 27 frets as an absolute minimum, 30 preferred.
