This one is still in use at rehearsals :shock: .
My older bro's first bass was a 2-pickup version of that same model. He still uses it for dinking around at home.

I bought one for my delta saw and it did not line up with the cut. I was very dissapointed and ended up taking it back to lowes. I wish it would have worked. As you can imagine because it's placed alongside the blade, it can't line up exactly with the cut. The offset of the laser line from the cut ...

Hi Marko -- I saw your pics in your Talkbass thread ( http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=401558 ) -- looks good. I like your bridge design as well. It looks like the axis of the adjusting screw isn't collinear with the strings and I'm wondering why. It seems as though it works well enoug...

The only thing I would check just to make sure is compare the thread pitch on one of the bolts to the thread pitch on the tap (just try and get the threads to nest). And check the diameter of the tap -- if it's a 2 or 4-flute tap, you should just be able to measure across the thread crowns. A 10-32 ...

No, no trick -- a tap should run easily through a corresponding tapped hole. Are you sure you didn't accidentally get a 10-24 tap instead of a 10-32?

You could always put the speakers on a table or bench (or just a plank of wood on the ground) and slowly, little by little, push them toward the edge. At some point, when the speaker wants to tip over, that's where the center of gravity is in that direction on that plane. Do it in both directions an...
