Yea, our situation was basically a personality melt down among friends. Tons of opportunities locally for our shtick but nobody wanted to do the work as a team. I'm seriously considering selling a rifle or shotgun to keep the 500 . God I love that thing. Love my wife more. We'll see.... I'm...

Soooo, my first real gigging band broke up yesterday. Left a REALLY bad taste in my mouth. Anyway, I only bought the v3 500 combo because we played loud bars and outdoor festivals. My wife wasn't a fan of the bar scene and I'm not pursuing a band for a while. Have plenty of jams I enjoy and some...

What do you use for your lift off the ground?

Is your pickguard plugged in?

Have you found a resource that visualizes this? I'd like to take a look if you have. Thanks!

That could be pretty cool if it works out. A picture with it in action Saturday would be sweet!

COOL! That's a great idea. I'd like to see what type of metal patterns you find. So far, everything I've found is either too flimsy or the holes were too small. I really like the metal grill that came on the Rumble 150. Let me know what you find!

Ha! Great idea. I've thought about that for the inevitable extension cab. Here's what I did last summer on my v3 200c....
