That's his Valet.

That's his Valet.

Rosa would kick her butt...or Chuck's.

Wow, roadies have changed a lot since I last saw them.
I see she has on her work boots, not sure what kind of work she’s planning on, but she’s prepared.

My roadie looks pretty good. Also doubles as a groupie.

Pictures or it didn't happen

From Monday night's gig. Brutalizing a small room with a T-Bird and Acoustic power.

That belongs in the cool rock n roll photos thread!

 

[bobyoung53]

Well, I haven't been here since Monday and only missed 30 pages this time.

 

[PillO]

See, another player fighting that blasted neck dive. Why do people keep buying these things?

Great pic! And I'm pretty sure your were heard FELT with that rig!

FTFY

 

[PillO]

You're not fooling me. That's not Chuck. No flip flops.

And no hat...

While we're on the subject of medical restrictions, someone should appear and take my motorcycle for a ride.

You anywhere near Lima, Peru?

 

[PillO]

That's his Valet.

I checked Roget's and that is not a synonym for roadie, groupie, or concubine...

Chuck looks a little different in this photo.

Rosa would kick her butt...or Chuck's.

Both.

Great pic!

I love B&W photography.

For the 'Bird... These, after years running around the neighborhood, are like being home. Rock n roll.

As for housekeeping, if I had a quarter for every time I moved a pickguard thread from Accessories to Hardware....

Giving this a little thought, I think that a pickguard is an accessory. It makes no difference in tone and is just a cosmetic accessory.

I used those from about 1972 until 1995 when I started getting dead E's. I started buying them again last year after going through the whole gamut, flats, nickels, other SS roundounds, nothing felt like them. I have them on all the basses I have out here now. Except I use the regular gauge, 105-45. Nothing sounds nor feels like a good Roto Swing 66. Home again. I do realize there are some who vehemently disagree with me.

Yep, similar story here. I like the lighter gauge because I do a few bass lines with string bends, and less work is better over the long haul. But that feel does put me right at home, when it was new and the world was open. It still is, it's in your attitude...

Both.

Was waiting for that response. Thought @Chucky Stiletti would be the first to comment...

I can bend these and actually do, have ruined frets when I was a youngster bending but I don't care, I can tend to dig in anyway but yes it's like the prodigal son.
