ya I saw that ... with the maple neck too ... I find myself wanting that bass ... I would 4-2-5 it and add a white trc ... and vvt as well ... and it has a reasonable starting price ...

I sold my Steinberger in order to get a Kubicki. I haven't been able to find one yet.
Seeing auctions like this one and that C64 make things tough....

What do we call the PU placement on a Laredo like mine (Oct 2004)

????

****? Chopped Liver?

Yeah yeah, nice "old" FG...maple neck...whatever!

"Chopped Liver" works for me!

Jared & Scott:

Do we have a problem with these basses if a truss rod snaps?

Oh yeah.

Im no luthier, but the only way I see to change the rods would be to remove the fingerboard. This would be a good question for Paul W.

We just have to be careful I guess.
