Also great info on the comparison to the Hart/Maggini. Thanks for posting those specs.

Jed took the bass to another level, regardless of who did what to it, before.

It does sound as if there was some tedious reworking involved. He did re-graduate the plates and fit a new bass bar. Also, his back brace engineering and execution seem to really work well. The thing can move some air...

The raised saddle/neck reset, and carbon fiber neck inlay are all helping, too.
Sounds like the bass was free and you just paid for part of the work done. Great deal. I am sure though that my A.Gemunder Snr. Bass was put aside for this bass to be done as we have agreed he can finish it when he finishes it. Jed does great work. The old original Gemunder in his words is the hardest job he's ever done in his life to date. Patience is appreciated.
