I thought you were cutting down... ;)
One in, one out, is still the rule. An SG RI Faded and a Yammy BBT110S cab are on the block in return.
that means Mark's got something cab-like in the pipeline... ;)

"Pyramid flats"
You really have become hooked on those, right? :mrgreen: Are they available in Australia?
Ok, when changing strings I have discovered that one of the tuner pegs is broken (one half of the split shaft is missing). These are Schaller M4 type tuners, but from what I can tell, the ones that Schaller sell these days have the mounting screw hole in a different location to the original Gibson tuners. Am I right? If so, what are my options?
So - for me, who knows Fenders better than Gibbys - from whence comes the nickname "hobbit" for the original source of this thread??
Looking back at the ebay photos, it looks like the "E" string tuner is broken. I may have one from my '69 Les Paul Bass. The difference would be the logo on the grease cap on the back. If I recall correctly, my bass had (3) "G's" & (1) "S" for Shaller. I changed them to a full set of Shallers. The Triumph bass has "GIBSON" stamped on the grease cap. (Nothing anal retentive about me!) I also may have a couple" Control Plate Stiffeners" left. A .015 thick spring steel plate that mounts under the contol plate to help prevent futher crackage.
The near-simultaneous launch of Tokyopop’s Hetalia: Axis Powers manga (see “Tokyopop Nabs Hetalia: Axis Powers”) and FUNimation’s Axis Powers Hetalia anime (see “Axis Powers Hetalia to FUNimation”) is gaining momentum behind Tokyopop’s bus tour and Web promotion, Tokyopop Marketing Director Marco Pavia told ICv2 at Comic-Con. “We thought this was going to be big, but we’re finding with the tour it has a rabid, passionate fan base,” he said.
Hey if it helps- one of my six-stringers came to me in a brand new gig bag (tags and all) that *reeked* of mildew. I lightly sprayed it down with some diluted white vinegar and let it air dry outside, and it got rid of all traces of the mildew smell the same day. The mustyness in the guitar luckily wasn't as bad, and it gradually faded away after I hit it with some cleaner and polish.
How diluted? I live in Florida, big mildew problem. I've tried undiluted vinegar in shallow bowl in a case for a few days but it didn't completely get rid of the smell. I'm concerned the vinegar might bleach the black plush.
