Related to that subject, I just purchased a used plum Euro (see pix a few pages back) & want to know the best way to buff out the fine scratches - i.e. what compounds to use, what buffing material, buffer speed, etc. I plan on removing all of the hardware - I have a replacement bridge coming - & I plan to buff it out when I install the new bridge using a small wheel buffer or drill attatchment, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I just put a new set of Rotos on last week. I've never really used DR's before but have been looking into them. How would you describe the feel/tension between the two.
Take Care,
Brent

About the same tension and feel.

Wet sand with 2500 grit and you can use any buffing compound....but I suggest 3m

I can't comment on any of the newer ampeg over seas products , but all of the older USA ampeg gear is rock solid . I have used ampeg off and on since starting to play . Never had anything major , not even on all of the svt heads I've had .

Also just wanted to add that a lot of reviews are written by people who don't know crap anyway . I would read the ampeg forum on here as a guide for the product .

They do very well at eating frets too!!

amen!

good point. i like the sound of ampeg, its just the if theyre reliable or not anymore. the old stuff, yes. but it is getting older

Congratulations!!! Way to stick to your guns and buy what you really like! My first Spector is a Legend 4 BlackCherry! Awesome finish and quilted maple on those! Love it, still have her! Join our club!

Thanks for replying brother...it's an awesome looking bass. I've got another 2 weeks till I buy it. Get myself a nice strap. Do you recommend a hard case? I'll post pics when I get mine
