hagguy Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 seems a far bit of effort to make them tbh thanks for the offer tho might take you up on it i've found these things called bass buddy don't need to drill holes held on with some kind of adheisve waiting for an email back bout prices, if i could get a rest without marking up the basses thatd b ideal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
