    [url="http://www.indieguitars.com/product-2.cfm?ID=36"]http://www.indieguitars.com/product-2.cfm?ID=36[/url] History seems to take in UK, Canada and Korea. Anybody got one? Specs look good on paper, but how do they sound and play? Selling them off pretty cheap at the moment - can buy an ex-demo one for £199.

    Something's not quite making sense to me here. Why didn't the band/agent say something like: "We'd like you aboard. Is there any way you could slim down a bit?" Why was the OP apparently not given that option? I just wonder if the the [i]true[/i] picture might be a little more complex than somebody's girth.

    We played a rowdy trailer-gig last week and survived, even though our drummer wrecked the drum kit that was supplied. Two further suggestions for you: Sounds obvious I know, but make sure that at least one member of the band is with the equipment at all times, including setting up. Don't all walk off and leave a tempting load of kit while you have a break/drink/loo break/whatever. Be careful when loading cars at the end. Again, make sure at least one person stands guard over open cars while you walk back and forth. It's not unknown for thieves to wait until this time to nick things. Good luck with your gig. Steve

    Now that looks tasty. Some questions: What's the neck profile on this? How wide is it at the nut, please? Is it switchable between active and passive? Can it be played in passive mode? How heavy is it? Thanks, Steve

    [quote name='highwayone' timestamp='1341248702' post='1715752'] Hi Steve, the nut width is approx 43mm(according to Fender it's 41.3mm) and the neck is about 25mm front to back at the first fret. Not sure if it's the same as a MIA as I haven't any info on them. They are pretty chunky but then again I've been using an Ibanez of late so it does feel chunky compared to that! [/quote] Thanks for these measurements. I'm fairly sure these are the same as the MIA P I sold in favour of a 62 reissue, in which case, I shall pass. Can't see this hanging about for long. Steve

    Lots of emails between the pub and me today. It would be a new venue for us. As a sort of "try-before-you-buy" I suggested that we did a Friday night gig for £200 and then, if that went well, we could work out a bulk-buy package price for NYE + 4 gigs for 2013. Pub didn't go for this. Effectivelythey were setting up a dutch auction where a number of bands were set against each other for the lowest bid. Stuff that, I thought. Steve

    Folks, What's the going rate for a New Years Eve pub gig, do you reckon? Steve

    What's the nut width on this, please? Also, how deep is the neck front-to-back? - is it the same neck profile as the current MIA Precision? Steve

    [quote name='jag-atk' timestamp='1341144525' post='1714220'] Free bump for Steve, a nice guy to deal with! good luck with your trade [/quote] Thank you! I think I'm going to keep the Blazer for now. At a pub gig on Friday, the Fender was booming all over the place and no amount of eq'ing or re-positioning of the cab in the room would solve the problem. I got the Blazer out - problem instantly solved, possibly because it has more punch and mid-range than the Fender. Today, I played the Fender at a barn-based charity gig and it worked really well. So, both have their merits. I'll keep the Blazer for now. Steve
