- Fitted Rubner machine heads as an upgrade from the stock machine heads usually supplied with the Jay Haide double basses.
- Reshaped the top nut.
- Shoot the fingerboard.

- Fitted an Ulsa Solitär ebony endpin unit.
- Fitted a quality ebony tailpiece and steel rope tailwire.
- Refitted the soundpost.
- Fitted Evah Pirazzi medium strings.
Having had such a comprehensive setup, this bass represents one of the best value for money new basses on the market today.

We also have a range of pickups that can be installed should you choose, again while you wait. The sales price is for instrument only. However, we have a range of cases to fit and a huge stock of accessories.
