YEs- indeed. I like the MG W black trim, especially on an S.
It illustrates the "bridge lift phenonenon" very well- on one of the pictures you can see it clearly.
About the same lift that my '97 4003 has. I've been checking it regularly. I guess it says something about the neck strenght of modern Rickenbackers- if the bridge will lift before the neck will snap, the necks have to be pretty strong.

It is indeed a great looking bass. My Blackstar has significant lift too, the problem is finding a BT tailpiece to replace it.

Ted,
You should probably just sell the Blackstar so you don't have to worry about it....

Yes, that would be a load off of my mind. You still have the right of first refusal should I ever sell her.

Why does this happen more often to BT tailpieces? does the powdercoating process weaken them?
