Only ever played a similarly priced Surveyor - loved it!! Used to stock their guitars when I had a shop and was seriously impressed by the lower priced gear - did find that the 400 level guitars could be either amazing or a little bit disappointing - would highly reccomend you see if anyone has one in stock rather than going the mail order route. Plenty of retailers one here - one of tehm may be able to help.

I play 5 string simply because I prefer playing a the 5th fret than open, and don't like going up the dusty end for D. Get myself into all sorts of problems on a 4 string.

Give Colin Fulton a call - he's on the luthier list on here. He used to be a G&L dealer, and I remember him talking about doing jobs like this (I took over the shop he had in Ipswich). He's not near to you but can probably make a good assesment by phone and then he's only a courier away.

Now on hold for Perc1

Nothing to do with me - but thought it may be of interest. Still nothing suitable for me on there [url="http://brighton.gumtree.com/brighton/86/69261286.html"]http://brighton.gumtree.com/brighton/86/69261286.html[/url]

Oh for a few more guitarists like this!

Plenty on sale here - just scroll down the forum and take your pick!

Always quite liked this one:

Therapy? Love these guys - one of my scariest moments as an um and err man was watching Michael stage dive from the top of the pa stack at the end of the gig we filmed for DVD! Good job he's only a little fella and the crowd decided to catch him!

[quote name='AndyTravis' post='1037612' date='Nov 26 2010, 11:53 AM']Hercules are fine on Nitro; String Swing and Stagg ones are not.[/quote] Have they changed the rubber - I managed to damage a 52 Tele in one of their floor stands about 5 years back (another one with the Satatus that the hangers are useless for)!

Looking at the OP's sig it shouldn't be a problem at the moment for him, but word of warning, do not use any of these with instruments with a nitro cellulose finish as they react badly with each other (and the nito cellulose comes off worst)!

Bought a keyboard off Sy - pleasure (and good fun) dealing with him. Cheers, Mike

Cheers Carlos[/quote] Sorry Carlos, didn't put it in the bump message, but I am only looking for amplification. Cheers all the same, Mike

[quote name='umph' post='1033890' date='Nov 23 2010, 01:59 PM']Class D amplifiers,[/quote] Noooo!! Not until someone designs an amp tech who can fix my Yamaha

Fiddler's Dram? I'll get me coat....

Just waiting for my GB75 neck to return from Mr Shuker where it has been having a new ebony fretless fingerboard fitted. Couldn't find anything else as good in a similar price bracket (and I've finally worked out the (IMO) OTT electronics)! Only thing I think I'd gas for now is a custom build or a GB95 (oh, and some decent amplification).
