ComradeDave[TK] Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Ok for the mic tips I needed to cut the vents that separate the bottom from the top portion. I needed to cut, file and polish between those 4 posts and insert the innards. It's not a multiple piece construction like Keith's or any of the other high quality mic tips. As for my boots I got them for 92 bucks Canadian (around 62 USD) with a sale voucher on Shoeme.ca. decent deal considering on Amazon.com my size (13 US) was 65 US plus shipping and taxes outside the US. All in all 85.92 US (113 CAD) (they don't have any on Amazon.ca). I'd say check it out. http://www.shoeme.ca/products/bass-men-amsterdam-black-range-calf enter FALL20 for 20% off, FALL25 (until tomorrow) for 25% off Edited September 29, 2015 by ComradeDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComradeDave[TK] Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) The Tips are Hovi Mix Pa2 they just weren't to my liking I studied Keith's and Sskunky's and tried my damnedest to get them looking like theirs. I'll post pics when I get home. Also I have a bunch of accessories slated to arrive today if stuff starts showing up I'll post that too I got a photobucket account and I'll use that as not to waste space on my attachments.

Knockerbot[501st] Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Did you do a quick black coat on the parts you cut out too or were the scuffs unnoticeable in person from the front? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComradeDave[TK] Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Ok do I really need ESB Decals for the bucket or will the AP one's the kit comes with suffice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeDave[TK] Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Also the more I think about AP's kit is pretty much good to go to ANH Centurion with their new upgrades... Maybe I'll flop back or do both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
