@Geek99 I don't have any hardwood rod (or softwood rod) or dowels of any description. I also don't feel confident about drilling into a real (and nice) Fender neck to make the right sized holes even with a pillar drill. I've never done that sort of thing before. I'd need to support the neck properly to ensure an accurate vertical drill and if I cocked it up, I'd be gutted. Somethings worry me and this is one of them Rob

Looks like that's been fitted by a previous owner, using a Pickguardian surround. Neck unit's absolutely not an SD. And read this - from 2009 so unfortunately pics are gone - a post from a member called Darkstrike actually points out that the Anniversary doesn't have SDs. Had a quick dig & found a pic of a stock Anniversary.

8 years later.............do you by any chance still own & use this amp? If so, how does it compare with more modern amps? If not, what did you purchase to replace it with? Thanks.

For those in doubt about the Seymour Duncan pickups. https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1360217

I've also heard about studies around the world investigating claims that the demand over the years for lightweight bass guitars could be the reason that some people do not develop a psoas minor back muscle. Use it or lose it, someone used to say, I think?

Hi Itu, hope you're well. I'd have this back like a shot if it were a four string and a narrower neck - it's a real player.

Yup, from a small music shop in paisley, I own many Rickenbacker basses so I had to try the thing out, bloody awful, it did have Seymour Duncan pickups, whether people believe it or not, didn’t really make any difference as the bass was a pile of junk, I sold it for almost nothing to a youngster who was desperate to have a Rick lookalike to play in his band, the brand was Anniversary made in China. It looked exactly like the bass in the picture, neck, tailpiece etc. exaggerated Body shape out of proportion of course .

I've been playing the guitar for many years but never has anyone ever called me a guitarist or anything remotely referencing musical talent. They say things like; 'Are you still into your music?'. No refence to ability, or hint of appreciation. Proof me thinks. I do have lots and lots of plectrums that are too thin for some reason. Anyway, my bass weighs 12kg (26.5 pounds), or 60000 carat, and has over 7kg of neck dive weight alone. Beat that.

...so what happened today???

How ironic that you should post this on the same day I was readying tracks to send to you for your advice re arrangements etc You're a good man, with impeccable musical instincts. Their loss.

Why not just drill out the hole to the size of the dowel? Much simpler

Mine is lack of musical talent, not tendon misshapen-ness perhaps OP is a guitarist and thus more physiologically prone to making lesser degrees of sense ? <joke> @ OP, don’t throw skinny plectrums at me, you’ll need them to move those slender strings

All those still posting about how stupid AI can be, you'd best hang on to your hats ...
