I've got an EB0 on the way which will get mods to get into the Phil 71 ballpark. Anyone done this or have any good suggestions? I'm going to use a pair of Dark Stars and a Hipshot direct replacement bridge (it's a two point bridge with no individual adjustments, rather than the square one Phil had with the plastic saddles. I'm thinking the bass is pre-1967 or so). I'll probably get around to a brass nut at sometime. My biggest open question is how to wire it. Active buffers? Filters?
Probably no crazy paint job. It doesn't need to look like Phil's just be able to sound like his. Somewhat.
On another note, I'm also about to upgrade my '67 Showman with a beefed up Mercury Magnetics multi-tap output transformer. More headroom, better bass and selectable impedance!
