Thanks

I found the link in the "My belt killed my Ric" thread when I searched for "buckle." There might be other options in that thread, but my daughter is screaming so I have to quit.

But in the meantime, here is the link to the removable buckle rash protector. I'm not sure how well it will fit.

I have that trouble. I had the dots on my PJ redone and will have the 5L done soon. Can barely see them without my glasses on and forget it in low light. Hate to do it, but necessary.

Ditto on the dot trouble. I've finally figured out recently, that I should use my rosewood 5L on good lighting gigs, and my maple neck 5L on bad lighting gigs. Should've thought of that one sooner!
BTW, for what it's worth, My guitar player said last night night that they have no designs at all drawn up for a new bass.

Any one ever have a replacement back plate made?
My 2nd 5L is hurting & I'm thinking about having a new piece made ( aluminum would be my preference )

Cool Product, I'm looking for a structural fix as opposed to cosmetic.
Might buy one anyway, thanks for the good work.

It can be done. A tech buddy of mine just finished installing an entire back on a smashed-up navy blue Slingshot.

He got a hunk of leftover laminate from Reverend a couple months ago. Same exact lam material, exact color match.

I looked it over, the repair is perfect in every way. Dunno what he charged to do it (I could ask). The Slingshot is now fixed and keeps its originality.

He's in the Chicago area, PM me if you want his contact info. Might be worth shipping your bass to him for a proper repair.

Listing here for the Club Members first, general consumption later if there's no insider interest.

Up for grabs is my spuper spiffy BH5:
I bought it new from Mountian Music in KC. It's been used very little, and is mint, aside from light swirling in the p/g from cleaning. I have the tuxedo case-which is BH5 specific due to the wider neck and is likewise in super condition.
It's "faux Mahogany" with r/w board and is wearing new SIT stainless rounds. It came with nickels, I prefer a brighter sound.
I can take better pics, but, here's one I have on hand now:

If you're interested, pm me and we can take it from there. Not looking for trades as I have another bass I'm chasing.

thx-alan

Joe's Music Quarters on the east side of Detroit is an authorized repair facility. I believe they bought up the remaining stock of laminate from Joe.
