Thanks a lot for the help guys

Basically I'm thinking of buying a Fender Precision. I preferably wanted it to be sunburst, with a maple fingerboard and a tortoiseshell pickguard. I found one, Standard American(below, but with maple fingerboard) but it's a bit out of my price range. I found another, 50's style (below) but it has that anodised pickguard, so I figured, why not just buy it and replace the guard with one like in the first link. Here's the problem. The Standard american has a 13 hole pickguard, which seems to be all I can find for sale, while the 50's style has a 10 hole pickguard. I guess I could drill holes but I also have no idea if they're even the same size!! I've tried looking into it and visited my local shop today but they weren't much help. Anyone here know if the size of the 2 pickguards will roughly be the same? I don't mind drilling holes if the guards will be the same size. Thanks a lot

Yeah, I was planning on buying the Tech 21 Bass Driver DI. And no the amp doesnt have a Line Out I don't think. It literally just had: Inputs, Speaker outputs on the back and a preamp output on the front.

I have an old Peavey Bass Combo, Mark III Series, Series 260C, and it has no DI output. I've always been told DIing at live shows is best, and I borrowed a friends amp for a recent gig to use the DI, but wondered if I could still use my Peavey despite no DI output being available? Would miking it up be suitable? Sorry if this is a stupid question I've tried to find information on this topic of having no DI present but can't find anything useful Thanks.

Anyone have any experience with either/both? It seems to me that the 50b is a lot more user friendly with everything displayed clearly with dials/knobs. and is nicely laid out. I'm not worried about the lack of switches, because both have 3 and I wouldn't need more than that at any one time anyway so. Any opinions/feedback would be great!

I've been playing for a year or so now and have a job under my belt at the moment. I currently have a Peavey 1x18" 400wt combo and it does the job, but I'm looking to get a Cab and Head I don't know a great deal about amps in general and would really appreciate any guidance or suggestions? I'm looking to spend maybe, 500 in total? Round about. Anything less would be great! Thanks
