    So go to that fella with the Roc Pro. They do buses from Dundalk to Dubbalin real cheap now, do they not?

    It's a great amp. Ah well, stick to the buy and sell for a while and see what comes up. You wouldn't consider a Microcube for the time being?

    GAH.

    I can't jam with a microcube!!! Still, this whole Thomann thing has put me in a bad mood and I'm not too sure about Thomann's practices any more. They don't even have a CC checking facilitiy? I mean, WTF???

    Ya know what? I didn't!

    EDIT: Balls to Thomann. I'm off to musicstore.com where it's cheaper and they actually have a decent credit card system!
    Hi,

    Apologies for the repeated email but I wish to CANCEL this order completely. I have decided to go to musik-produktiv.de who can offer me the same gear for cheaper and do not require photocopies of any credit cards or other identifiction.

    Good day.

    :D

    Don't feel sad, I'm sure there are plenty of guitars out there just waiting for your fretboard scalloping skills. However, I won't own any of them :)

    True.

    Boredom + sandpaper isn't a good idea...

    Definately gonna change the heel on it to an AANJ. Maybe a Jem handle too...

    The wires coming from the bridge are incredibly fine though and they snap if you even look at them wrong.

    Don't worry, I won't be messing around with this one. I'll see what the DiMarzios are like, everything else though is there for good.

    DiMarzios are perfect in Ibanezs tbh.

    I thought that would be the case with the Barts in the bass... but I was wrong... damn wrong. Dunno, I had a bad experience with DiMarzio's years ago and have been reluctant to use them since :(

    Might order some EMG81-7's after christmas.

    Tbh, the pickups are going to be covered most of the time by your picking hand anyway so it's up to the player. I like the blackness. Suppose I could always draw silver dots on them...

    Did you find a place that sells appropriate woods?

    Edit -> Should I read into it that your scallop didn't go as planned? ;)

    www.lmii.com

    about €40 for an ebony blank, radiused and slotted.

    No, my scallop was most successful. Love the feeling. But it's the nut and the way the shelf was cut. Ewww.
