Richard,
Thanks for posting this great report. It sounds like you had a
similiar reaction as I did. It is really great hearing those songs
played by folks who are really into it. It's been exactly two weeks
tonight since I saw the Surge, The Nebs, & The Madeira (followed by
the Exotica thing the next day), and I'm still smiling. I hope to
get some photos posted this weekend of that show.
I also remember Eddie K showing me that he had laced a little piece
of foam weather stripping in between his strings down by the trem
plate to take some of the ringing out. He had also machined his own
saddles out of brass and made them slightly wider than normal so
they would be super snug, then used loctite to cement them all
together. And he had a cure for the notorious "AV Jazzmaster/Jag
trem arm flopping around" problem. He put the arm in a vice, and
then put a piece of wood against the end of the arm. He then hit the
wood with a hammer, giving the arm just the slightest bend at the
end. His arm now stays everywhere you put it in the collet without
swinging around or falling out. He is one serious gear head!
