    You can pick up a good used Cadillac Deville for 10-12K. My bass fits nicely with the passenger seat reclined and there's lots of room left in the trunk for a PA.

    Just unpacked my new SX SJB-62C and the white pearl layer of the pick guard is curling up. Is there a good replacement if I can't get help from Rondo (not that I wouldn"t). SX member in flux.
