Yup Stan, one of the guys from Canada on the forum here posted a link to a bridge a while back , the link was to http://www.rockinger.com/index.php in Germany, I had a trawl through and found all kinds of awesome stuff. not cheap, but they do refund their local sales tax if you pay by paypal, delivery is super quick with fedex.

I bought one of Rockinger's 'Black Box' Strat trem stabilizers a year or so ago, well built unit, but no installation instructions came with it, I had to hunt around various forums trying to find out how to install it..... and there wasn't much about I can tell you.

I see they have finally amended that, and installation instructions in English are posted at their site..... would of been nice if they included some sort of graphics with them

Hope whatever you are getting from them doesn't need any instructions Deaman

I was looking at their "Le Trem" , the instructions are there Might use a Dusenburg trem on my JM custom next year, they work out almost the same or cheaper than a Bigsby

Christ they would want to be cheaper than a Bigsby, have you seen the price for those lately? Araghh!

On a slightly different note, I see that Kinman pickups have finally relocated to the Philippines, and their website has finally been updated after what seems like a eternity being worked on.
According to one of the blogs, Chris Kinman suffered a pretty big heart attack [stress related]

I checked out the new site the other day, bloody hell, they have really enlarged the range of pickups available, and the options available on each of those options, especially in the P-90 range [they have a new GOLD FOIL P-90 designed especially for slide ]
http://kinman.com/model-products.php...ld+Foil&group=

Some people have found navigating the new site confusing.
To find the price of any pickup; choose Guitar and click on that, a picture of the various pickups appear at the bottom, click on your preference and that page will pop up.
At the top left will be OVERVIEW - which outlines those particular pickups design specific's, under that will give you all the different "Flavors" available within that pickup type, once you choose that, you are them given even more options...price is standard USA at first, but any other nominations price is available at the Tab next to it.

You could spend hours there choosing your perfect pickup for any application, it's basically a Custom pickup design / build/ deliver thing now, bloody amazing.

thanks for that one Tweaky, there is nothing like a bunch of fellow GAS suffers to help spend your money

[Tweaky]

You only have 6 kits finished, and one in the works.

I entered the kit building family, already owning 7 guitars

Believe me,GAS gets worse as you age.
I've avoided " Pedal Collection" up until now, actually I must have given away at least 50/60 different pedals over the years to different poverty stricken Muso's or Kid's starting out....God knows what those would fetch on Ebay now.

Thing is, I wasn't using them....so WTF, you can have it sort of thing happened....actually, that how I got a lot of pedals in the first place......other Pro or Studio Guitarists, giving me the old pedals that they no longer used......got a lot of old Amps that way as well.
