The quality of plating on Dennis Wick mouthpieces does not seem to have
improved. I got a new laquer BBb bass in January this year with a Dennis
Wick mouthpiece. The laquer plating has now almost completely gone on
the rim and inside. I am relieved that you had the same problem - I
thought that I had super corrosive saliva.
While on the subject of mouthpieces can anyone recommend one that will
help me to get pedal notes. I am currently using a Dennis Wick 2L
