Svts are awesome but just can't tough my GKs. Be it my 400rb, 800rb, 1001rb and now the monster 2001rb. I use ampeg 8x10s but I want to switch to GK RBH 4x10+1x15. Gotta pay ye olde Sweetwater card down first.

2-410's though.

 

[BklynKen]

I can't wait to get an opportunity to crank my GK MB500.

We had an SVT through 2 810s Saturday night. The Bird was monster through it.

Ha, you admitted it twice.

 

[BklynKen]

Ha, you admitted it twice.

When you got it, flaunt it.

 

[TBird1958]

*gasp* You mean that photo i posted of you playing thru it was you losing your SVT810 virginity??? How graphic

Yup! Hard to believe I had anything "virgin" left.

 

[Count Bassie]

Ha, you admitted it twice.

Oh. Well I'm just backing up the SVT/tubes contingency.

Even though I'm getting that Acoustic 136 combo...

Couple cool shots I just got from Saturday.

That's some set of pipes man.

 

[DerekW]

So bummed I missed the show!

 

[Nocturnal]

As much as I like the sound of some amps, a tube SVT and a Bird make my nether regions tingle in a way that nothing else does.

LJ at Music Central mounted the TH IF Pro bridge to my Usta Bea Goth. It had a Supertone on it previously but the dang ferrules refused to stay where they belonged. He filled the holes, a mounted the bridge and repainted it so the top would match (I told him I didn't care and not to bother, but he's a perfectionist). I think this one's gonna get sanded down and repainted. I just gotta figure out what color(s).

I recognise that bridge!

Cool. Just by curiosity, did you try contacting Hipshot?

Looks like a Pro-IV bridge...

Looks like a Pro-IV bridge with replacement grub screws.

Grub screws?

 

[kat888]

Grub screws?

the height adjust screws in the saddles, called grub screws presumably coz they look like wee grubs.

 

[Korladis]

I'm back.

ThunderBacker update part 3. Vinyl 2 piece pick guard( Ive never seen that on a bird before), matching white custom truss rod cover insert and fresh GHS Boomer heavy duty 50-115 strings. Only thing left to add are the chrome tuning pegs when they arrive and either a chrome 3 point bridge or a standard style chrome bridge and shim from Allparts.View attachment 1105286

Personally I would have gone for Rickenbacker-esque pickup positions and a chrome pickguard, but that looks awesome!

 

[Korladis]

You're more likely to get wrong off me for the solid state amp.

Nice looking J, they always look better when the collar and cuffs match - needs a new pickquard but (aka you should have posted a trigger warning for @Sartori).

Not funny.
