Me neither, but I've always used very light sets. I see that these days a lot of (most?) third-party cast/wrap-around bridges are compensated for a plain G.

I love my old Guyatone-made Kent Polaris I, obviously not as cool as yours. Good luck with the resto!

Possibly the bridge is designed to be the other way round with a wound G?

"matching-headstock" in the URL, haha.

In my opinion, yes. I use a 1 x 12 combo (JTM60) , which has a clean and a dirty channel. The dirty channel has plenty of gain, but I mostly use the clean channel and pedals. An open-backed combo will sound different to an amp and cabinet, obviously - I'd expect less bass, but you can play with the ...

Nice details. Let us know how well it was received, won't you?

I think it would be cool if in the corner of one of these GPUs that I understand Mike helps to design there's a little "MBM" logo etched into the silicon.

Not sure why so many of the links at the end of this one are broken for me?

^ Very nice! Do you want to give us some more background.

Well, it's passed to a new owner, Miles, who I would guess is in his 20s and currently owns a Mustang bass. It's been interesting to work on it but I felt obliged to sell it for a fair market price on behalf of our friend; she told us to go out for a meal on the proceeds, which we won't, so I think ...

Looks like it's a Columbus; I think the pins in the badge on this one probably match up.

I have built a reverb unit in the past, even etched my own PCB.

From the label on the tank it looks like it's a 600 ohm drive coil, 8.2k pickup, pretty standard for Fender designs. The circuitry to drive it is probably the same as the Fender amps of that kind; see http://po-ru.com/2023/03/24 ...

I've actually had some real-life experience with the M-Vave/Cuvave Chocolate MIDI controller. One of the options in the configuration app is to select between configuring the 1/4" jack for an expression pedal input or as a TRS MIDI output. So I made up a TRS-to-DIN cable out of an old 3.5mm stereo ...
