You'd be hard pushed to change the pickguard on the 20th Stingray - Its glued on! I used to have a 20th & 30th

Pickguardian does perspex rick thumbrests. failing that check out [url="http://www.classicguitarboxes.com/"]http://www.classicguitarboxes.com/[/url] for some crazy stuff, man.

Doesn't sound like it [url="http://mightymite.axegrinder.com/cgi-bin/blah/Blah.pl?m-1165971194/"]http://mightymite.axegrinder.com/cgi-bin/b...l?m-1165971194/[/url]

I got my maple one here: [url="http://www.classicguitarboxes.com/"]http://www.classicguitarboxes.com/[/url] they have some amazing stuff on there.

I find that volume varies according to how many people are in a room. If the dancefloor's quiet then volume stays low but as soon as more people appear then it seems to dampen down the volume meaning that I have to turn up a bit. I'm sure someone will be able to give a more scientific explanation of this but I'm guessing most people will be at the get together today.

I think that there are a couple of ways to go with this: Keep it following the same layout but add a few extra bits here and there. How about bringing the Wiki into the main body of the forum? Have a sub forum just for these things. I think possibly that a lot of people don't see the Wiki button away up there when they are looking for information. There is also a lot of room for expansion as well: There are only a couple of players covered so far but I could probably put together something about at least 10-15 players that would provide useful information to people who may be reading about someone but not really knowing who they are. i didn't know that section existed until I looked just now. There is sometimes the case where you get people asking the same question about something every so often. It might be an idea to have FAQ sections for each of the sub forums but instead of taking the form of a thread sticky it could be a list of questions with hyperlinks to the information. I definitely agree about splitting the for sale section down a bit further as well to keep things neater and make looking for items easier. I'll probably think of more but I think this could be done without spending more, just getting some extra help. There have been a couple of offers already and I would be happy to help as well. A second option would be to open up the traders section. I think people probably just pass this without realising what is in there. Try and get more people involved. Every business put there is trying to get as much sales as they can so getting some online retailers on board as well as the smaller sole traders (such as DHA already here) would help give them more exposure in return for a small percentage. Don't charge them for advertising here as this would probably frighten them away but if someone here buys something then a certain amount goes back into the Basschat admin fund. It doesn't just have to be equipment related: how about bass related clothing, bass clinics, books and concert tickets. there are probably others as well. The third option if none of those work would be having Talkbs style adverts. I never found that they got in the way but if you look at the page you are reading just now, you have the whole screen to read stuff - on TB you miss the top and the left hand side with the adverts. I enjoy coming here, learning information, passing information on, passing out childish double entenders about 'tugbars' and so on and would hate to see something occur that could signal the demise of this fine European forum (we do have a fair few non Brits here as well). I couldn't handle going back to talkbs. One final point - Sandy Toxic - No!

I'm looking into getting a horizontal amp stand to raise it a bit if i need to: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GIRAFFE-CLICK-SYSTEM-TILTABLE-GUITAR-AMP-COMBO-STAND_W0QQitemZ200272155425QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item200272155425&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1432|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GIRAFFE-CLICK-SYSTEM...%3A1|240%3A1318[/url][/quote] Those stands are the dogs sloblock. I've had one for a few years now. they'll take almost anything. I used to use an Ashdown ABM115 big beast of a thing as a monitor angled up at me on mine. I mainly just put the Schroeder on it but if space is tight I'll sit it horizontal and but my rack on top of it. really light, fold completely flat and tough as you like. As far as carrying cabs goes- The recessed, non moving ones (like the ones Schroeder uses) are more user friendly for carrying one handed rather than the hinged ones that Trace used. You don't say where you are from - you may be surprised to find a lightweight cab owner near you that may let you try.

Pete's Red Cortina? Prince's Red Corvette Perth Refuse Centre? I could go on...

Something along the lines of mine? I have the building of it over in the build section (funnily enough) if you want to have a look at one being built

I sold my nearly mint vinyl 1153 with replacement Celestion 300w 4ohm driver and vinyl cover for about £200 a couple of years ago. You'll find out loads about lightweight cabs here. my tuppence worth is that I now run a single Schroeder 1212L which would easily replace your 2 cabs and come in at around your budget

Wait a minute - are both pickups the same size? Normally longer one for the bridge but then again they probably wouldn't fit in the routes very well if they were the wrong ones

Again, Kent's been making these for years so I would've assumed that they would align properly. Sorry, I'm not much help am I?

The rule I follow after receiving advice from a few manufacturers ( I'm sure Sterling Ball was one of them) is that if it is only going to be off for a few days then don't bother - if off for weeks then loosten it off.
