[quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1439117884' post='2840090'] I wouldn't buy one solely because you can only carry them on one shoulder. Best way to give yourself back problems. Maybe fine for an acoustic guitar but the weight of a solid body bass would just throw everything out of balance. [/quote] From what I've seen you can actually wear the case in a 'backpack' style with a extra strap!

So I've had my eye on the Gruvgear GigBlade for a while now but I'm struggling to find any user reviews of them. Who's got one, are they comfortable, what are they like on long walks, do they protect your instrument well? http://www.gruvgear.com/gigblade

This is s what I've been waiting for. I wonder when they hit the shelves!

Cheers guys, I think I've put the badge a little too close to the sides but it's all a learning curve isn't it?

Just given the new addition to the frame a quick lick of paint [url="https://flic.kr/p/r82h3m"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/r8e19x"][/url]

I've been wanting to do this for ages so I've finally pulled the trigger. There is something about the silver faced Ampeg cabs that I think looks incredibly smart. So I'm basically setting out to "re-grill" the face from black to silver. After reading through a few forums and taking the grill off, I've worked out after removing the white piping there will be slight gap (3mm ish) between the grill and the side of the cab so I am going to make up for this by adding some strips of wood down two sides of the grill frame. Here's the cab (debadged and without the white piping) [url="https://flic.kr/p/rKGuqX"][/url]

So I'm looking for some advice about my current project. I'm about to embark on re-grilling my SVT 610HLF with the classic silver ampeg livery. At the moment I'm really struggling to find some wood to make up for the space left by the white piping (that's been removed). Could anyone recommend a shop to look at where I can get some 3mm x 20mm x (whatever length) strips of spruce? I want this thing to look as smart as possible, the gap left is going to be a annoyance to me unless I sort it!
