And the DeColas and the CP and VP/60 pickups.

The DeColas definitely. I want to put a set in the red Limited Edition Custom shop Epi I got from @KaraQ.

I prefer the new NR pickups over the VP pickups. But that’s just me. And don’t ask me to explain why. They just sound wonderful through the Boogie channel on the Mesa TT800 and through the SVT VR. And even through a little Hartke I have. The VP pickups are great and all, but the NR pickups just do something for me.

If it were me, Pelham Blue all the way!

I never saw the movie but read the book, great book. IIRC he had a big block Chevy convertible in the book.

Couldn’t resist. For those who saw the movie and read the book:

Not to mention if it is a disaster, I can simply return it with 45 days, so no chance of a loss. This works out well as I have instruments set up in E standard, Eb standard and D standard, and go to drop D, Db an C. With my ‘95 and ‘01 Gibby’s and now the Eppi, I’ll have all the “basses” covered!

Now it’s time to sell off a few excess Fenders I have. I think I’ll have to break down and list on the classifieds here. Was really hoping to sell local and avoid shipping…

Whatcha got? Bring ‘em to the GTG in August.

I'm liking the Gibson '21 NR pickups a lot too, to me they're a bigger, wider tone, especially in the lo mids. There's not quite as much top end or clank, but the right strings make a big difference in that.

The Honda and the punk...... Sh** I'm getting oldView attachment 5043601 View attachment 5043600

Nice! But give me an old man’s bike.

 

[MCF]

Ok, it had a repaint. Marshall must have been involved.

Oh my!

Ya gotta love 'ol Neil.

Hello there! New song released just a few minutes ago. I don't sing or play drums but everything else I'm responsible of in it.

Excellent! Please tell us the bass, effects, etc.

A Vincent Black Shadow or Black Lightning, the latter about which one of my favorite songs of all time was written?

 

[MCF]

I’ll say definitely maybe…

YES!

If it’s the first weekend in August, I’ll be there for sure if it’s Saturday. I may have to do an up and back Cannonball Run. But it’ll be worth it. If it’s Sunday, I’ll make every effort to be there. It might be tough as I have a trial that “may” start that Monday. Too soon to know for sure. But I wouldn’t miss a GTG for the world.

Screw the excuses. You know you’re coming. 2 cases of 805 this time.

I also did two instrumental b-sides, this is the non-ambient one:

The drummer is really good. Alan White would be flattered. And so is the bass player.

Wider tone is a good description. Consistent humbucker goodness across all the strings up and down the neck.

Yeah. You’re right. I’ll be there.

And if you have any of Dave’s brew ready, bring some.

@PillO, you may now continue the torture.

I require no permissions for torture...

Took some more pics last night. Let me know what you think.

I am guessing that this does not intonate properly. Correctly intonated, the saddles would normally sit between the two rearward ferrules and the forward ferrule.

In essence, yes.
But i will always encourage our freindly watermelon minded Tbird clubber to not refrain in any instance when deemed necessary or not, to post said images at will.

Let's leave @Gaolee out of this...
