    Wanted Truss Rod Cover for Ibanez RB924 July-Aug 1983 production

    This is a massive long shot, but I am seeking a truss rod cover for a July-August 1983 production Roadstar II RB924. This longer version of the common cover used on '84-up 24-fret Roadstars was seemingly only used for the two months immediately after the RB924 truss rod adjustment was moved from...

    Your favorite stuff from the 80s.

    Short version: The 80s gets a bad rap. I grew up in the 80s. Did we wear some funny looking stuff? Yep. But was it anymore crazy than tie-tied shirts, tassels, bell bottoms, etc? Nope. But, man, did we have some fun! The 80s was about fun to me. I loved it. (Sure, everyone looks back on the...

    Rockinger Bass with Tremolo / Whammy early 1980s - Earliest with bass tremolo w/ fine tuning screws?

    I have recently acquired a Rockinger bass with a tremolo / Whammy bar on it from the early 80's. I have not been able to find another bass tremolo with fine tuning screws that has been made before it or like it. I believe it was made between 81 and 83. I am hoping that some information can be...

    '80s songs: which ones work best in your set?

    For any of you who play '80s songs in your sets, which ones do find consistently go over well with the audience (and keep folks on the dance floor)? Are there any in particular that you find work well with both a younger and older crowd? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    NAD - Ye Olde Marshall

    New (old) Marshall 3520 200w SS and Marshall 1515 250w 15" ported cab. Circa 1980s. Just bought from classifieds tonight for AUD$150 (about USD$100). Apart from the tolex showing 30-odd years of hard wear and one scratchy pot, all seems fit for purpose.
