I think I'd take a modern version over an original, even if that were MIDI pedals and an Arturia soft synth. It would stay in tune for one.

I play in Eb, always have. Tuning down is the only way to be able to execute the music I write on guitar, it would be physically impossible to play the parts in standard tuning in Eb - there would be no bottom.

When playing in Db or Bb I use a 5 string bass, I want low, not that wimpy high D or B ...

This is a pic of my 508. The surround for the 10 string would obviously be larger. What color is your 518, blonde or brunette? http://archives.rickresource.com/clipart/happy.gif

Once you get it put back together you should ...

I've had no issues with my GL, it plays and sounds great. I was a little worried about neck stability, but that hasn't been a problem. I did return the first one (under warranty, absolutely no problems with that) I got due to a warped neck, but the replacement has been perfect.

I tink option A would be your safest bet, but I wonder if those tuners will accomodate bass strings? I think that would be your challenge.

Option B would be a gamble that the headstock could handle the extra stress with more holes drilled in it.

Personally I'd just keep my eye out for a real ...

$16 will barely buy you a four pack here.... I moving!

Meal in a mug.

Anyone for Guinessglo?

>Desolation Boulevard was their best album. It's the one that contained "Ballroom Blitz", "The 6-Teens", "Set Me Free", and "Fox On The Run".

Actually that is only the US version (Capitol) which is actually a compilation album - Set Me Free, No You Don't, Sweet F.A., Into the Night and AC/DC were ...

In Canada, UPS won't insure for damage if they don't pack it for you, which will cost about $100-150. This increases the ship volumetric weight as well.

You have to watch the so called "insurance" offered by the carriers. When I sold my 4003S5, the first thing I did was try to schedule a pickup from my home, with UPS' online calculator adding $50 for insurance. When I called about it, UPS said that even though they will happily take your money for ...

I need to call a chiropractor just looking at that.

It looks nice, but I would have made the headstocks match.

"I just feel the initial recording sounds best going to tape, especially for bass heavy signals."

Like anything else, the quality you will get from digital gear depends on the quality of the equipment, and your ability to use it. I have no problem whatsoever getting excellent bass response from ...

After avoiding doing so for ages I just recently set up a MS page: http://www.myspace.com/othyrworld

I agree with Niall. If you don't get the credit, simply forward the emails to your CC company and explain what happened.

PayPal does have the right to charge you a handling fee on chargebacks, however this seems pretty high. The US version is $25, but is only supposed to be applicable when the ...

Jim, the rhythm guitars would be Gibson Les Paul Classics, leads (all double tracked) are a combination of the LPs plus Fender fat strats with DiMarzio X2N/Super Distortion pickups, all run through a Marshall JMP 50W head/4x12 cabs.

I don't like this either. If I see there are a bunch of low feedback bidders, I'm not participating, since there is a high likelihood that they are schills. Same thing goes for the chippers, the ones who bid $5 at a time to jack the high bid.
