I like the shape but that hole looks totally arse.
[/quote]Indeed; surely they could've come up with a system where the hole was covered with a matching top with a slit in it for the pickups to connect to the rail (or 2 slits for 2 rails) and have the pickups 'float' over the cover behind. A work in progress I feel.

Why do you have to 'become' a tribute band? Just call yourselves a different name when playing an all-Feelgood set (Dr Goodfeel?) and your current name when playing your other stuff.

Play a few gigs in both incarnations and see how they are received and which one you most enjoy.

[/quote]This.

Dr Goodfeel; what a great name.

Give this a try first. It might not work but it's worth giving it a go, assuming you haven't already tried it. While trying to heat the stubborn solder apply some fresh solder. It helps to melt the old solder and has always worked for me, and my soldering iron is only 18w.

[/quote]This is what I do for stubborn solder. I recently had to rewire an old amp that I made with the same iron I was using to remove the components, but the original solder wouldn't melt unless I added a little, newly melted solder.

I never used to take a backup and although I take 2 these days, it's because I do some fretless numbers.

Normally I'd go for Spirit Of Radio, Don't Stop Believing or In Your Eyes, but the other day one of our teachers played Up On Catwalk in assembly and I was 24 again and loving it. It's all about the right song at the right time.

I'm not sure this qualifies a porn, but I think it's pretty and it did stop me mid Telecaster purchase. I've had it about 10 days now and have got it set up just right for me.

Having been inspired to play a bit more 6 string I've resurrected my DIY build, 15 watt amp (needed some rewiring as it was mute after years of living in the loft) and the 2 go together really nicely. Now I'm inspired to build a high spec overdrive pedal and I now have one on order.

I guess you just find your 'sound' n leave it there,and wack it to neck pup for bassier lines.
[/quote]Pretty much what I do. And speaking of pretty, nice score there, random or otherwise.

No matter who gets sued as there is always the counter suit that the attendee did not take sufficient steps to prevent injury (ear plugs) in a potentially harmful environment.

[/quote]Yet another talent(less) show. The whole concept is so hackneyed (Opportunity Knocks, New Faces) but now with public humiliation thrown in for good measure. Bruce Springsteen has it right, 57 channels and there's nothing on.

I honestly think it's because his brain is partly pickled...
[/quote]Partly?!

I'm pretty sure someone's after one of these on BC right now; great little amps, pair one up with a PB300 and you've got a killer live rig too.

Agreed....... Catch it on Iplayer.
[/quote]Just watched it on t' player. As they say on Planet Rock everyday is a little better with some Joe Walsh in it. His joining the Eagles may have been brilliant for his bank balance (minus damage invoices) but how many more solo albums would we have treated to if he'd stayed on his own? Having said that he has been quite prolific, but I love So What, Smoker You Drink....., You Can't Argue...., But Seriously Folks; all wonderful, new stuff sounds good too.

They are lovely looking, they seem just right to my eyes. Epi bodies?

EDIT: Just seen your ad for an Epi neck so have answered my question

I missed it unfortunately.

Oh yeah.....Jo Walsh, what a nutter.
[/quote]But what a guy!

Not surprised at the multiple responses here, great pedal, great price.

A marketing exercise.

Good choice, variety is the spice, etc. you could also drop an East pre amp in it should you want to. As ever, pics or it never happened.

6 string weekend bump

Expensive year for the family (18th, 21st and my 50th all in next two months)
[/quote]Bummer. I have the wife and daughters within 3 days of each other, fortunately no 'biggies' coincide.

Shock, horror! I never thought you'd move this on Clarky. What a great price.

Sweet, but all of those ACGs are.

Welcome and kudos for joining our community, it's always good to have recognised names contributing

Sweet. Pics on arrival or it didn't happen

Although I own an Ibanez I must say that the love doesn't translate across the entire range here. I figured that a five string fretted Ibby would be a sensible choice to go with my Gary Willis. I tried one in a shop and liked it very much, so I bought one a while after. Seemed OK at home, but not quite as good as in the shop; then in a band situation it was alright, but not really what I was hoping for at all. It got moved on after that and I bought a fiver from a completely different company with totally different dimensions and sound to my GW. I'm not denigrating the SR1200 at all, but just pointing out that, although your current Ibby may be super comfortable, etc, and the 1200 may be very similar comfort wise, a completely different animal may be just what you need. A hard, but enviable choice you have to make here
