Aliexpress... Something like this... https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtflXLK Cheaper available.

Wadded... @stevie advised to keep the wadding away from the port... All stapled up to prevent wafting...

Corner Protectors Arrived... Similar, fitted. Wadding and a Stapler arrived... Might do the Wadding Stuffing tonight. @Ramsay777 There is a light crackle 'n hum thru the speakers when the Master is Wanged to and fro.. but no through signal sound. As no signal out the Tuner Out, going to start to look at the Input and Send Return Jack Sockets Fingers crossed something simple. @JohnDaBass I'd go Carpet Cleaner and a Hair Trimmer... Other is likely to result in a mess and possible regret... If it don't come up OK after a Wash and Short Back 'n Sides then go Plan B...

Also like these for playing, sitting down... D'Addario Dual-Lock https://amzn.eu/d/fB2ly8m without a strap, as with most of mine... keeps the lead tucked aside...

Just seen these... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284274593800? Think i'll go these at the bottom... also offer some fair protection! and a basschat washer on the horn!.. That way the strap can be undone if need be simply at one end...

First try?... Adagio Nickel or Olympia Stainless... £15ish Offer via the 'bay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332636490116 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332486029353 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302719180784

^ Or the Adagio's... Olympia are Stainless Steel, Adagio's are Nickel.

Bright!.. Maybe more of a Jazz Thing?... What a coincidence.. about 5 hours ago mine went black... AliExpress £5

Update: Squier P has been moaning that the Ibby's have been getting nice pickups and the like, and copt the hump... Little did it know that a BWB Scratchplate was winging its way from the Far East curtesy of Ali Express for £Fiver... Call it an early Christmas Pressie... and rather fine it looks too, way better than the single ply white

Fingers crossed he gets accepted for the School's 6th form and Courses... 'prolly wait and see if he can take some kind of grade exams along with the Music students and whatever board the use.

No, Doesn't need the cert for the course... just looking to substantiate his efforts... Looks like they are legit.

@JohnDaBass Still work in progress to get it going. It look real tatty in the Faceache pics, so was considering taking the carpet of and Danish Oil... but, It's not all ply, top ledge baffle etc are a chip type board... and the carpet came up pretty good.

Planet Girth - Durans...

Son is looking at 6th Form Options and has found something right up his straßa!.. A Level Music Technology, and a BTEC Extended Certificate in Creative Digital Media Production He didn't take GCSE Music as it clashed with Computers, and he wasn't that in to it all back when options were chosen, plus he wasn't having instrument lessons. Looking at the Performance Level 2 (Grade 5) assessment to gain some sort of acknowledgment for his Self-Aware / Self-Taught playing of Keyboards, Guitar, Bass and Drums receive some sort of 'measure' of his aptitude and application. https://www.abrsm.org/en-gb/performance-grades/about-performance-grades So, at £60 a Pop(!)... worthwhile, or is it like buying some kind of Guild Inclusion for the Van Door Sticker? Thoughts and recommendation please.

I likes these with the spring to help hold the pickup in the cover with a little more tension. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mM5BktA

I went 0.1 as the 0.3 i think was too thick to make sure it would conform to the neck... and was quite stiff. I'll adjust the truss for flat... String tension and thinner shim should be ok-ish for relief... if i get it set up before the no-more-nails sets!
