Pictures always tell a lot but one wonders how it sounded too. Blackwell must have played the Ric DB during gigs but did the Brook Twins and Kenny ever record anything when Blackwell may have played it?

Interesting and very cool oddball! And this is the first time reading about the early style bridge covers that I gotten an inkling of how they worked.

Seems like a very elegant and quick and easy to adjust muting system, if it worked correctly.

Makes the idea/design of the replacement 4001 tailpiece/bridge assembly a real head scratcher.
