    Think of something that makes you happy. Try to think about it in as much detail as you can. Enjoy it...a mug of warm milk and honey will sometimes do the trick too.

    It's exactly what I did

    Marshall Jubilee - yay or nay?

    I gigged in my late teens and early 20's. My 300 w Peavey combo weighed a ton.

    My current 100w Fender rumble is feather weight and gives out lots of power but for a gig I'd choose something beefy.
    I would go to a war driving a tank not waving a feather duster.😂

    If I ever gig I won't care about having a heavy rig. It probably takes 5 mins longer and more effort to unload etc. So be it.
    If you like the design and sound buy it. Don't let others to influence you.
    If I had spare cash I'd get Ampeg svt vintage and two 4x10 cabs.I wouldn't care about the weight.

    Good flatwound comparison

    Thank you for that.

    After listening several times on headphones my old ears could only hear a very slight difference between them. How to describe the subtle variations I don't know.

    I'd say the D'Addario sounded brightest but not bright. The Fender and Rotosound were even/balanced. La Bella deep/soft. Thomastik were growly.

    Anyone else care to post a quick impression?

    My old ears suffer too. I think rotosounds were the brightest sounding flats.

    What have you got GAS for at the mo?

    High mass bridge doesn't fit

    I did exactly this with my Squier VM P5. In my case it was a Badass II. I ended up siting the BA slightly further back than the original bridge to ensure I had enough travel for the B to intonate. Do this & you're golden. Along with taking all precautions to make sure it's dead centre etc.

    I'm with Gary. Wood filler looks the part, but it's not strong. I would use cocktail sticks (they're hard wood, matchsticks are weak firewood). Glue one stick in place, then cut fine sticks from the same cocktail sticks and ram the holes full. Let the glue set and then drill the new holes.

    When you fit the new bridge, use masking tape under the old bridge for you to draw markings on the body, to show you the positions of the sides and the back line of the old bridge.
    Then find the centre line of the old bridge and mark that.
    Them mark the centreline of the new bridge and align that on the body with the centreline of the old bridge. Also align the back of the new bridge with the old backline - unless the style of the new bridge means you need more/less space. Roceci beat me to it! :D

    I consider both options. I may not like the bridge so may want to avoid filling the holes.
