    Can you post the name of the seller so they can be avoided?

    PSA - I currently have Covid and it has hit me hard. Until I have recovered I won't be offering to meet anyone or invite people into my home to try it. Unfortunately I quite like a significant minority of you people and wouldn't want you to be endangered. Hopefully normal service will resume in a week or 2.

    Bump.

    What a bargain!

    it’s not an uncommon modification. The downtuning metal guys have been doing it for years to get thicker strings through the posts.

    Can they be drilled out a little?

    I like TI flats too. They also have the advantage of lasting at least 5 years so I'm happy to spend the money on them.

    I bet that hurts! What's wrong with a trimmer?

    Very useful thank you. I think I'm going to order a Sandberg - I've had my quote in and although the 12 month waiting will be very painful I will get exactly what I want. And it will turn up at about my 50th birthday.

    I'm in the process of getting a quote for a Superlight Lionel. It's not on the configurator but I know they offer far more options. Superlight shortscale - might even get under 6lb!!

    Quick look over my shoulder.... I married a JMJ type so I suppose I'll go for the classy one for a change

    I think I’ll keep saving for the Sandberg.

    Bump. I've removed the Mustang as a trade candidate due to the many reports of neck dive. So it's a Lionel or a sale.
  16. fretmeister
    Is there such a thing as a Mustang that doesn't have neck dive? Almost every review I've read / watched seems to mention it. I'm wondering if I should just keep saving up for a Lionel.

    Thanks chaps. As it happens I searched my trunk of parts and found an Aguilar that has poles that are flat with the surface of the plastic. So I'm going to try that. Maybe with a bit of tape on it.

    So do I with my Big Band. But that doesn't affect the comedy of it. To be honest it really annoys me.... I play jazz because I don't like crowds but the sods turn up anyway.

    On facebook there's a guy selling a pair of Aguilar J pickups. Those with some 250K pots could be just what you need. https://www.facebook.com/groups/guitarexchange/permalink/5100007073412219/?sale_post_id=5100007073412219

    You can always tell "legit music" by the size of the audient. (singular).

    On my TT4SL I ripped the whole lot out and put in a set of EMG J and the BQC preamp. It's lovely! But if I find a used Lionel then that will be an Aguilar 60s wind and a KiOgon loom.

    That just reminded me of this

    Cheap interface and use plugins with your PC? Amplitube free with a smart phone and interface? Loads of options really. When I play on headphones I use an Audient iD4 interface and my ipad. Amplitube can import all the songs from iTunes so I can play along easily.

    Very much this. 500K pots and quite bright pickups are a Sandberg thing. I love Sandbergs but I always end up changing the electronics.
