I sent him some of the remaining parts as guides to work from, and he machined beautiful brass replacement saddles and a set of tuners for this instrument. Without his help, this instrument would have cost a lot more to fix.<br><br>\nAlso I need to give a shout out to Nordstrand Pickups. Those Power Blades are winners every time. I prefer the Clean and Clear windings&#8230;one day I\u2019ll have to try the Warm and Wooly just to mix it up.<br><br>\nA last shout out to my student Kaelin Noelle; she is learning about electronics AND how to play bass. She started soldering the wiring harness together for the Steampunk headless from a diagram I drew for her. However, due to COVID she wasn\u2019t able to complete this instrument in person. Happy to say she did a great job; it came to life after I finished up the final touches (adding the pickups and connecting the bridge wire).
