^^^^^ Big Motorhead fan at the time... Remember them all dressed up on TOTP... Phil with a broken neck...

Nice... I've got a Model #2 single pickup Gu!t@r in black. Looks sleek n simple - fuss free... Going Flats?

Hawkwind fan so likes a bit of early Monster Magnet... Still trying to get in to the TAB EP though after all these years... Quite different to the Spine of God album of the time.

$H!T.... Gauge or dent?... Steam with an iron option?... Pics? May no Fix Fix... but might improve the appearance and reduce the degree of damage.

Zoom site is great, Recommend the Manual Download, if you only have the Quick guide, Then a Factory Reset and Firmware Upgrade if an older model, Can also download software to add extra effects and manage patches... Great little bit of kit, just never had the time, so sold my B1XFour on.

Maybe an email to https://www.headstockdistribution.com/brands/ibanez ?

Lies of Jim (The E Type Lover) - Budgie

Have you checked out the parts listings on the support page of the Ibby site? https://cs.hoshinogakki.co.jp/pcw.nsf gives OE Part numbers and replacement numbers for discontinued items. Then google these numbers for New old stock... often found on a couple of german music sites, possibly on the Bay?

Terrance Dear, make mine a Guinness... Oh! nice frock... are you saying more Bender than Fender?

From a quick google the Hosco is 20mm spacing... Whats is the string spacing like at the end of the fret board? Is the bridge moving the strings over? As for the pickup. Presuming Split P, If all good of the end of the neck perhaps the lower half of the pick up needs moving up or down, Any wriggle room? perhaps its down to the pickup holes in the scratchplate. May be a different plate will help more with the alignment over the poles. Any pics of the end of the neck / pickups / bridge?

Some have grooves / channels for the saddle adjust grub screws... stop a bit if latteral movement. Retro fit, picking up on the existing mounting holes may be a limiting factor. Unless the new bridge when placed right covers the old holes. String Spacing? 19mm, 20mm?

Zoom B1 Four - Great box, loads of effects, drum box, tuner, aux in, phones out - i had the x version with expression pedal - std version is easier to use on a table... i bought and sold mine on here... so many knobs, so little time. got a basic EHX headphoneamp, metal chunk and more durable than the Vox Amp plugs, for when i can steal some time, most of my noodling is unplugged... Otherwise I'd go on Gumtree and see whats local and cheap... For a socially distanced collection... other wise ya gonna pay a fair chunk delivery... Fender (G)Rumble? I got a Marshall MB15 for £35 at the start of lockdown #1 - but its seen little use...

Had a watch last night... The Bass used on the German gig caught my eye... Remember same or similar on the Rig thread i think... cant find it now... Geez... Stuart Lee is looking OLD, I'm about thecsame age, and hopefully dont look that rough...

Real nice as it is... Great looking wood, why paint? I'd keep it plain n simples.. nice old style bridge... Can we have some spec n blah blah on bits n build please? If you think it needs something, maybe a wipe over with Clear Danish Oil to seal the wood...

nice natural, love the dark neck, and no tort...

Ta Muchly... Tivo box set to record.

Hope you asked permission first... 😉

Roll Over, Lay Down - Status Quo

I remember those Smiling Sun 'Nuclear Power - No Thanks' stickers (but in English) from the early 80s... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smiling_Sun

nice as is... elegant and understated. Mature and Sophisticated. i think 'All Black' may look to be trying too hard. More Teenage Rampage...
