I keep finding myself looking for a part or whatever that just doesn't exist in any convenient form. List those types of things, and maybe folks will know where to find them, or manufacturers mught see this and make some....

Pure white P90 covers, drilled and undrilled

A roller bridge with adjustable saddle height or 7.25 and 9.5 radius.

really? I probably couldn't afford them. I've mentioned my desire for a VamPower before and i thought they were a few made and they are no more.

Oh was this supposed to be if you could invent something? Like something that doesn't exist presently? my bad

Roland Space Echo. Yes, they pop up second-hand occasionally, but are ludicrously expensive and their age makes them unreliable.

On a smaller scale, the bridges for some 90s Epi semi-hollows have a weird mounting post spacing that makes it incompatible with a new Epi or Gibson TOM. It would be a cheap and easy thing to fix if it wasn't UNPOSSIBLE to find a replacement.

Bolan hardly used the Vampower stuff at all, he didn't lean on them for any album and preferred the sound and reliability of solid-state H&H IC100 heads. Due to his endorsement he kept the Vamp stacks onstage but they weren't plugged in, like in the Born to Boogie film. He used rented Marshalls on much of Electric Warrior and was fully on the IC100s for The Slider, so it was never an all-Vamp lineup for more than a handful of gigs.

that was post #6666..nice! ha.
Thanks Paul

Here is some info on Bolan if anyone else was curious. I know he used HH's. I thought VamPower amps was that sharp piercing sound that he has that i love so much but it could be from stacking those dallas rangemasters.

A wee pronged widget that would hold the spring on a pickup ring under tension allowing you to get the screw through the ring and into the pickup without the screw making it difficult.

A strat style trem system where a ramped collet on the arm would mean that when you let go of it, it would travel a half inch into the trem block allowing it to engage with a fixed, suitably shaped and positioned attachment either affixed to the rear cavity or the cavity coverplate meaning that the trem was locked in position for as long as the arm stayed dangling.

there is a place to get pure white P90 covers. I know because I remember thinking forever that no one had them and then finding them and being like hallelujah. I think I remember robroe posting a pic of a guitar with them as well. blahblahblah, ok hold on I'll look around a bit for you.
