[quote name='allighatt0r' post='865528' date='Jun 12 2010, 09:24 PM']I was at a jam night recently when a guitarist got up to play House of the Rising Sun. Stumbled through the intro once or twice then announced to the room that he couldn't play it properly because he was used to a 12 string. [/quote] Being a guitarist I take my hat off to the fella....hows your playing 12 string...I possibly am fortunate in being able to appreciate both scools

[quote name='Bassassin' post='866116' date='Jun 13 2010, 04:23 PM']That's the article that's led to the popular Ebay myth "Kasuga, made by Tokai"! Anyway, that's the story, and I think they're the undiscovered gems of 70s MIJ guitars. Kasuga was a manufacturer in its own right - in fact the factory postal address appears on their old "K-Country" acoustic guitar catalogues & you can even find the original factory site on Google Earth! They do turn up everywhere - in the UK there are Kasuga-built guitars with the Arbiter & CMI brands, they built the Canadian Northern range (some of these are stunning) certain models from the US Electra brand, Japanese BC Rich - and I've even seen an Aria-branded Kasuga Les Paul copy, just to upset Matsumoku purists!

Jon.[/quote] I have to Bow to your knowledge,I had in the distant past heard of an Ibanez connection,but I think that was possibly the CSL Chestnut or even Herring. My passion is the Electra for the range but I have never personally owned a "DECENT" Electra bass of any description...I tend to stay with the variations of the LP some of which put Gibson to shame... As it happens I found a Kasuga acoustic last week in one of our yards somewhere along the lines of an Epiphone Texan looks OK unfortunately about twice the weight of the original and laquerb cracks like ive nevber seen in my life along the neck,it looks like the thickest applied finish ever.still it will go to the back of the pile until I get a few hours

[quote name='Grant' post='866030' date='Jun 13 2010, 03:20 PM']Hi guys, I'm planning on re-covering my Hartke 4x10 cabinet, as the carpet covering that is on there at the moment is looking a little worse for wear, and I'm also sick and tired of trying to remove dog hairs from it. The cabinet seems to have magnetic properties when it comes to my German Shepherd! First of all, I need some tips on how to remove the existing covering as cleanly and as hassle free as possible. Secondly, I have managed to find a supplier of coloured Tolex, but would appreciate any advice / handy hints on how to apply the new covering. Many thanks Grant[/quote] The cabinet seems to have magnetic properties when it comes to my German Shepherd! Get shot of the dog!

[quote name='Clarky' post='866072' date='Jun 13 2010, 03:51 PM']Thanks gents. So I am clear, would P800 sandpaper remove the worst then, do you reckon? And then follow up with some Farecla car-type polish? And I would be doing this by hand, as I assume that what you meant by handjob [/quote] Clarky I think the pictures show quite extensive scratching,the amount of time you will put in and the cost of the products is actually alot more than whipping down to a local car spray booth and asking a favour,all they need is the strings removed and its not even half an hours work for them.Im certain the result will be favourable over a DIY jobbie T

BIG OL TIN OF HAMMERITE POSSIBLY

Sandpaper. Some how it looks like its already had that treatment.......Go on Clarky RELIT IT
