Club Sadowsky!!!

Well, I guess if you convert the grand total of what I had to pay with the 1:1,6 rate, the price is quite close to what a Metro costs over here indeed.
On the other hand, I still have to pay the shipping costs and when the bass gets here in Belgium, I have to pay 3% import taxes on the bass and a whopping 21% of VAT on the bass AND the shipping costs :help:.

Oh, and if you're still 'only' 18, you're doing pretty good yourself, Sadowsky-wise :).

I really like the look of the bass with the pickguard but if you're not sure you can use double sided tape to keep it there until you make up your mind. You cal also cut some screws and light glue their heads in the screw holes (simulating that the pickguard is screwd to the body).

I just want to add that this should be done while the pg is not on the body so as not to have any chance of glue getting on the finish. Sounds like a no-brainer, but sometimes it isn't.

Thanks for the tips guys. I got some double sided tape and the pg is now attached safely with no movement or any gaps.
I can see why you suggested to glue the screw heads Fran, but I'd rather leave it like this until I decide permanently. I'm inclined to leave the pg on, I like the looks and playability is much better this way, to me.
