Hi Ken. Thanks for getting back to me. The gears are great and the plates are great. I just wanted to put on something newer and a little better. I like the look of the brass and fell in love with the look of the Morelli on your sight after the plates had been polished and the new tuners were in. WOW! Beautiful.
This is the first really nice bass I've owned and I've been playing professionally
for the last 15 years. I just want to make it the best sounding and best looking bass I can cause chances are I'm gonna have it for a long time. I really love it.
I got the bass for a steal of 5K and took to my repair guy who said nothing needed to be done to it at the moment. Maybe a neck reset down the road, but nothing immediate. Got the C Extension on 2 weeks after having it and that made a huge difference.
I have a student in need of some tuners and plates for an old German bass that he has. This very talented kid is also from a very poor family, and I thought hey we can do double damage here. Get me some new shiny plates and tuners and put these excellent nickel plated ones on his bass. His tuners are so shot that it's hard to keep the bass in tune.
I know that the upgrade seems a little selfish but if I can help out my student and turn the Morelli into an even more gorgeous instrument I'm up for it.
No digital camera. I will try to have a friend come over with one have him help me post some pics. Thanks again for your time and thoughts. Best, Adam Linz Twin Cities MN
