Thank goodness you are documenting everything on this guitar! At least you will have the memories.....
I do quite like the EMG HZ for Bass, they have a nice rounded sound suitable for most styles of music.Quote:

Db, that looks amazing!!!! I see you are a big fan of EMG pups???
This build is quite experimental and I am using the EMG to see if it will give this beastie a bit more bottom end grunt and growl 8-)
OK, a slight change of plans....
Took delivery of a FCH TOM system today, this is so going on the Jagitone!

Ooo... Walk us through it DB. What's the advantage?
Hang on, isnt that TOM a tailpiece??? This will be interesting to find out how DB's getting this secure!
Alrighty, first to answer Bassguys question.
The theory is that because the Full Contact Hardware Tune O Matic sits flush on the body, and string height is adjusted using a cam system all string energy is transferred directly onto the body ( not through skinny little screws) and therefore should improve sustain etc. Basically a string through effect without the strings going through the body.
Now for Pest's question.
See the packet on the bench behind the Jagitone?
That packet contains the posts and studs for the bridge and tail piece.
Check out the Babicz interweb page www.fullcontacthardware.com
An interesting piece of trivia that Bassguy will appreciate is Jeff Babicz was working with Ned Steinberger in the early days of Stienberger Bass production. :)
cool sounds like a cool bridge system DB, can't wait to hear how it sounds
Was Steinburger the headless basses ?
Stienberger was indeed the Headless Bass dude.
Man this Jagitone will be AWESOME!!!
