Correct. They're right up there along with inability to capitalize or punctuate, to say nothing of pentagrams, as far as being not punk goes. |

Congrats! I used to have an Agile Valkyrie SG set up the same way, small guard and P-90's. That's my fave SG look/sound. |

Thanks. I lucked into it dirt cheap. A keyboardist owned it. $120 w/period-correct chipboard case. |

Yes, early '70's MIJ Aria, Matsumoku-made, so very solid. Honestly, haven't had much of a chance to play it. Not currently playing bass in a band, and have only had it a couple months. It's... |

Yep. Even though I'm not planning on selling it, right now I can probably resell for twice what I paid, if I mod it and have to sell, I take a hit. I honestly am not even playing bass in a band... |

This story is about my band, Crash Pad, and our show last month on 13 July: High drama, appropriately enough, at the Friday the 13th show. We were set to go on second, with our former bassist... |

I started playing acoustic in the early '70's, when I was in junior high school. In high school I got a crappy electric. The only times I played in semi-public were at Young Life meetings, an... |

Actually I'm perfectly fine with it as is. I've never really gone in for modding up an already serviceable instrument. |

Did some more work on the jack problem with the StingJay. Opened the back to grab the inside to hold it still while tightening the jack collar on the outside, but that didn't work either, collar was... |

An update-- even with just an outside-only hand-tightening, I got the jack problem fixed. Still not 100% tight, but the buzz is gone and it doesn't crackle or pop while playing. Cleaned up the neck... |

Thanks jthm_guitarist, will try that. Thanks, I'm pretty sure I can fix it. But even if I can't, a former bandmate of mine is the guitar tech at the local big mom&pop, and I'm sure he can. |

Must have pics! (Well, mo and better ones.) Btw, I think that's the same finish mine has, Tangerine Burst. A bit more orange than a cherryburst. |

Missing a string and a knob, but no biggie. Also, I need to do some work on the input jack, may be able to tighten it, may have to replace it. Has short. Buzzes like a beejeezus unless you lean on... |

This. If neck is muddy, raise it, especially the treble side. Vice versa for the bridge pickup-- lower it, especially the treble side. Also note that the individual pole pieces can be raised and... |

Clearly you like guitars off the beaten path. For an alternative with a Bigsby, you might consider an Epi WildKat. I've been very happy with mine. These can be bought new still (not in the exact... |

Either would work. Btw, a Ric 620 (I have one) is nothing like a Les Paul (I have a couple). Since you play more lead, I'd lean to the Jazzmaster. Ric 620s have narrow string-spacing that's better... |
