    Lead through the strap?

    I use a grip clip by Onstage. Your cable gets held firmly in place in the cable holder then the clip attaches to your strap. It's only a couple of quid and you'll never pull the cable from your guitar ever again

    Not very rock 'n' roll, is it? :)

    10 holes and only 2 screws. Just like my last visit to a swingers club. Looks very nice though.

    I'm also aware that only recently on another thread (what with me being in the Pickguard Police and all), I ranted about how a white guard was totally unacceptable with a sunburst finish. But I like this cream guard, it just seems to work with the burst and dark board. Maybe because there's no bell plate? I would have preferred tort, but IMHO only vintage tort or Spitfire tort is ever good enough and as these options each cost more than the entire bass, it's not going to happen.

    There's also a whole thread on TB about the merits of various shades of mint green with sunburst, but I'm really not sure about that.

    Well spotted! It's temporary. I'm still not 100% about having a guard at all, and still may paint the bass a solid colour (white? Lake Placid Blue?) ...if so, I'll only have two holes to fill on the body. Fnaar.

    This. It takes less than a second and avoids that schoolboy-error embarrassment as your lead comes out and you look like a total twât. Or more of one. ;)

    You could find a good function band. I was in one for quite a few years and apart from anything else it was very lucrative. Great audiences, too - they're out for a good time and are usually well primed and up for it by the time you start playing. It's still covers at the end of the day, but you are well-rewarded for your efforts. I had to quit in the end as the false bonhomie with the punters and the 'audience participation' routine made me cringe to my very soul. I do miss the money though, even now. :)
