Glad to hear that you are almost sorted.

Sorry only just seen your last post. I haven't purchase direct from G &L but U.S. Sellers on EBay. Enlarging holes shouldn't be a particularly difficult job, if carried out with the correct tools and technique.

No worries, good luck with the job. You can always message me, if you need any help as you go along.

I haven't got any pre CBS instruments now but I would take my 66P out to some venues.

For a one off job and assuming that the nut is not brass and that you don't need to remove much material, then I would probably use an old string of the right diameter as a file. Jewellers files work well enough, or even the cheapo welding tip cleaners, available on Ebay for a couple of quid.

I had the orange version as well. Very nice.

When I've wanted genuine G&L parts, I've got them from the States, these days it's costly though. A tribute is not going to affected much price wise by fitting generic parts, so I think if it were me I would just search out something that would fit. Would standard CTS or whatever not fit?

Good job, I'm looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

A pleasure to deal with, no messing about, just the way it should be.

Well I guess if you're buying them to do up and sell, then it goes with the territory. But yes heavy handed numpties using the wrong tools is very annoying.

Surely we're all done now, shall I just close this thread?

Agreed With reference to the BF BB2, I now own the one that Dave bass5 was talking about. During the break at our last gig, a chap approached me, turns out he was a bass player, anyway, he said that my rig was the best he had ever heard. I love the sound produced by my BB2, especially when it's driven quite hard. The bass player in the audience loved it. Another bass player at one of our gigs wasn't so keen on it. It didn't work for Dave. There you go absolute proof ...................of nothing at all

Looks great in that pic.

I can't help, think it's a job for one of the Admin team. Welcome though

Hope you get sorted, my band DefunkT would fit the bill but we are already gigging tomorrow night.
