Why ? 1 and only post 4 years ago and he never came back

Yup, well spotted CJ

Could be an older model ESP bass. They used to use big white blocky letters on their headstocks, but they dont seem to these days.

Its actually a soldering station but it should do the job

Thats the one Trevor.. with a heated loop rather than just a hot blade - well found

Junk food - keeping the poor alive 👀

That sounds like a great compromise, ( and based on the what onehandloose said ) now that i've done it all back to front. yes, cut through the whole foam in the shape i want, then slice the bit i've cut out in half, longways. I can then ' plug ' the hole with half of the shape i just cut. Nice work daddy o. It means i dont need a specialist cutter, just a plain old sharp knife

Great idea - cheers Unfortunately, the foam has been ordered already, and i dont have that luxury now. Should have waited i suppose and now i;m doing it the hard way. So a hot knife - do any of them have a kind of wire loop on them so that can cut down to a certain depth and then scoop along to cut the bottom ?

I'm going to refit my pedal board with High Density foam, rather than what it came with. But i want my 3 pedals to sit IN the foam and not ON the foam, so i need to shape it. I've looked at hot knives but they seem to be more for cutting easy shapes for cushions or whatnot, but i need some kind of hot knife that can cut the foam down to half its depth and scoop out the shape of the pedal. I will not be cutting all the way through the foam, so i;m struggling to know what kind of tool this is called or if they exist. Anyone know what i'm talking about ?

Interesting Ebay spam

That link is to a Stingray from GAK now, so i guess the WAL sold or was withdrawn

Although finished, it still says £250

WE got to shift these microwave ovens

Not seen them but both ABCD and Bon Giovi have done gigs in my town

My mistake - they were called Limehouse Lizzy not Jailhouse Lizzy. Thanks for the reminder. It was a fair few years back and i got mixed up on the name

Never done the tribute thang but i've seen some stonking bands The Counterfeit Stones, A Whole Lotta Led, Jailhouse Lizzie ( Lizzy ? ) All were bluddy excellento

This was partly why i gave up on my last band. There was more than 1 reason , but the rediculous volume helped. And naturally, the Les Paul / Marshall wielding lead git matched him. We were rehearsing one evening, and i always got plonked next to the drummer, and although he was loud, his practice / rehearsal kit was a bit dead and wasnt as loud as his gigging kit. Anyways, this rehearsal was even louder for some reason, and during some maniacal tubbing, he went onto the cymbals and i got that huge top end cymbal wash in my right ear, and ended up with a form of tinnitus for over a year. Everytime i walked anywhere, my right ear used get a sound like squishing when i put my right foot down. If you imagine the sound you get when putting a seashell next to your ear, but it stops as i picked my right foot up. So it went squish - no squish - squish - no squish. I also got the squishing sound when i put my head on the pillow at night, if i laid my head down on the right side with that ear on the pillow. I used to wear ear plugs at gigs but never at rehearsals because of the quieter kit he used, but i got caught out - once. That was enough - i wore plugs at every rehearsal after that. Thought i had permanent damage till it disappeared. Luckily, it was not the high pitched whistle that some people with permanent tinnitus get.

There was a member called Will 8 years ago ? Great name

Then left is the way to go. Carry on

Paying a 4 figure sum for vintage ( early ) Fenders is mostly about the ' fever ' that that permeates these mass produced planks, not the quality of the instrument The only reason to buy one these days is that you're unlikely to lose money on it, due to the Fender fever mentioned

Whatever feels the most comfortable is the way to go. The first time i picked up a guitar ( at school ) i naturally went right handed, not knowing why. But it was a natural choice. Thats what you should follow, your natural choice Forget any others reasons

If it was factory reliced , it would be... Dingwall deliberately dinged I'll go get my pac-a-mac

I'm not positive, but the dark / light areas may well be because of not using sanding sealer first. If you sealed the wood first, then i dont know
