USA get some weird Hump Back SR, along with a 4 string Fan Fret SR. Must say i likes the 'Warn Pebble SR Body Shape and the SR Neck Dimensions. And only the GSR seem to come PJ Nowerdays, but Flat Contoured Body and Wider at Nut neck. Would love a SR Body n Necked plain jane, natural finish, passive V T single P, Mk1 Barts are reverese split coil in a soap bar and Ibby seen to prefer reverse like on the GSR but there is something familiar about the look of the 2 brick split coil style P pickup what ever way round... and a Roadster-esq ish 4 in line headstock...

Axe Attack Vol 1 and 2... on a BASF C90... Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion... Tune! Gonna listen to it now... Close my eyes and pretend im 12 again, in the back of my Mums Mk1 Escort, Daytona Yellow, with my little mono cassette player...

I always thought the 'Quater Pounder' term was derived from some sort of ordanance size in weight or caliber of round, HE or incendry device... like the 25 Pound Field Gun etc... I am aware of the 1/4" pole pieces used in the pickup, so aligning with some reference to impact or heft... Oh, and Gerkin OUT....

glue, sand, danish oil... luverly...

Those things have more string than the washing line... 😉

Looks like it's crying out for some LSD...

^^^^^ 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 ?

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...
