Well, y'all might have me sold on the EBCF. The Embassy had a kind of hollow mid range thing going on (sorta AM radio like) with the factory strings, swapped them out for the EBCF and now it has a very full powerful body to it. It's little dark right now, (I'm favoring the bridge pickup with the blend much more than I normally do) but I think I'll be able to find some profiles that work with it too get a little more top in there. Definitely a great sounding piece for $300 and it looks great and is pretty light. It's hard to fault it at that price. Even if I end up dropping in a set of the Gibson NR that's $560 and I'll get some of that back from the 760s

Yeah. The hardware alone is worth almost that much. Mike seems to be happy with his.

Yeah. That might be one of the earlier ones with QC issues.

A gig just happened. Took the non-reverse which seems to be a good choice for anything. Sounds good, looks good (a matter of taste of course but let's face it, it does), works with a 70's style of clothing and hair and there's always no other players on the same bill playing a non-reverse.

Irv and Miles were good sports about Neil at the GTG letting me play the Ducks album I had just gotten while we were driving to Sant Cruz (where the album was recorded).

Good sport? I totally dug it!

Wow! What a great photo! When I first saw it I thought it was a collage! It's so graphic and hip! Like an ad for... something!

 

[JIO]

Seriously. I try to keep track of what my friends here have and play. But with you it’s futile.

 

[JIO]

let the kids do it...

I watched this again - can you image having that bike? The RC30 is legendary - and so beautiful. I've owned 3 of her relatives (VF500, VFR750 & 800) - I know. It would be impossible because you'd simultaneously want it to stay exactly like that forever, meaning no way in hell are you riding it... and wanting to ride it more than anything! No... it's best to watch the vid and take pleasure in knowing it exists.

What don’t you like about the Red Greco ?

it has a reverse body and frets… it’s a really nice bass I just have too many. ..

naw… it’s Sooper simple…

#1 34” DC with the 21 NR pickup


#2 or #3
either the 21 NR or the HelloRic


#4 2004 Ric 4004cii
if it wasn’t so shaging ugly it could be #1 or #2

after I paint it SnoGlobe, it will move up in status..



#5 Epi CP Flamingo forget what year it is..

Left the uke alone today. Grabbed the Tele 6 stringer for a while then the FSO and the Goth.
Surprised to see the FSO has remained stark white but the pickguard has aged.

Also, I had an intermittent ‘miss’ with the Goth today - I had to fiddle with the plug to get it back.

What size thingy do I need to tighten up the output jack on an Epi Goth?

Danny-lectro Sunday!

Dude. Shoes...

 

[Bruce Pete]

So cool to see a young Leland playing bass on this video.

So it really is a V/B/T?

many chance you can show the pots and wiring?

 

[JJR58]

Ok, Epiphone in the shop for modifications, it’ll be a process so hopefully all goes well.

They're all so young!

Looks good to me, but it's a relatively easy fix if you want to go back to a white PG.
I guess some plastics have UV resistance and some don't.

Yes, it's a VBT. Center pot has a detent and definitely moved from neck to bridge on its range.

That's a cool album - I enjoyed it! Didn't know about that band.
