I think any sturdy tripod type stand with a bar would work if you are prepared to do some drilling etc. I will look at the Tonetech filler as well.

I have some old Fender screws in the workshop. If Brian can tell us the dimensions, I can see if I have anything.

Listening to equivalent music through those same 'cans' should give your ears/brain the references needed for your own stuff. Put some favourite reference tracks of similar genre into Garageband and compare with your mix. Adjust to get yours to sound as good as your reference tracks to your ears. This technique works whatever one is monitoring with, even if one's own hearing is less than top-notch.

Ah thank you, so you happen to know the size? The pin looks the same as the other two. I think I have one somewhere.

Here you go Chris, just a bit bigger than a guard screw

Latest step is a much smaller job. I just got some 12 mm and 6 mm dowel, and cut short plugs for each of the unwanted holes. The 12 mm section was for the back, where a bigger wider set of holes had been drilled part-way through, presumably to allow for the fitting of some switches with short bushings. The 6 mm went in the front. Both pieces were fairly tightly fitted so I didn't need to clamp them, though I did put some tape over the lowest one to hold things in place. I trimmed off the excess material with a chisel and sanded it all down. I'll need to put a few dabs of lacquer on there and sand it some more before I spray the body, because otherwise that end-grain is going to show through.

I guess that’s why some have security on the door now.

Here’s a little of what I was alluding to in my previous post: https://www.vice.com/en/article/people-booking-pirate-recording-studios-for-parties/

Hi pete, I like a bit of Ampeg myself, that looks great and don’t think they are particularly prone to any faults really, just play it and enjoy it whenever you can, good luck to you

^^^ I've owned both amps and would definitely agree with this... The V4BH is easier to use and in a gigging situation, that's so useful...

I’m now part of the club, a Sandberg California TT Superlight now in the house.

After years of playing Fender P basses, I've recently started getting an issue with the forefinger of my fretting hand after playing, especially if it's a 2 gig weekend, possibly the early signs of arthritis. Having Sandberg's in the past I took the plunge on this lefty TT4, as I've always loved the necks. Three gigs later & no issues with my fretting hand. Added bonus it only weighs 3.5kg 😊
