Having a bat just hanging around all winter can get you down.... Why not do this simple conversion? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ?? ![](http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb390/pt227/IMAG0015.jpg) Not finished yet, but you get the idea, PT ![](http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb390/pt227/IMAG0017.jpg)

Thanks, I`ve been thinking of this for a while. I think an old friend who lives in Oz wanted one, I don`t like the look of the m/heads very much. I may router a large hole in the back (that is in fact the front of the bat) and let in some banjo m/heads. It might be hard to tune,(you would have to turn it over ) but it would look more like a bat. PT

Didn`t like the `stuck-on` look of the m-heads, so....... ![](http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb390/pt227/IMAG0022.jpg) PT

Goodness Grace-ious me! I like it 'Allott' though the neck looks quite 'Broad'.Could be tricky to play with a 'Capel' mind you but can you play 'Milk Cowdray Blues' on it? Also is that a 'Trent" bridge? Oh and by the way the 'Oval' tuners look the business. Do you have a case for it or do you keep it in a box? Lordsy Mama (Cont. page 94)
