My name is Denny Kopp. I am a recent graduate of a luthiery trade school on Vancouver Is, B.C. Canada ran by Mike Jarvis. My bass is Zorko Baby Bass #243

While there, I replaced the fingerboard, tialgut saddle, and cotrol plate with cocobolo. Also, a cocobolo ring to house a magnetic pickup system that is adjustable on a sliding brass mechanism.

This bass originally had an "archaic" pickup under its metal control plate and directly bellow the top bridge (this bass has two bridges). The two bridges were replaced with flatsawn flame maple also. It has the original neck and tuning machines, and "resoglass" body which are in great shape.

If anyone has some information about this bass, please contact me.
