@theFixer I believe it was you that posted the link to that 2013 ebony bird on eBay, it was flying under the radar, I put my max bid in at 35 seconds left (which was $10 more than the current), got out bid:(. Think it sold for $950 range still a good deal for whoever got it
Yeah... I watched that one wind down. You played it the right way though man. I wish ya coulda got it. We'll get the next one:thumbsup:

You are asking for politics, obscenities, and all manner of things that would get me banned. I will not rise to the bait! I will leave it at I have a deep distrust of and loathing for all politicians.
:roflmao: Dont Bite!, Dont Bite!, just needed to share a simple picture of something Ive been irritated about since way back when the elections began. I knew you would understand :roflmao:. Over,out and closed!.
 
is it really that effective to change the pick up cover from plastic to chrome?
i mean it's still the same hardware...
I have a guitar that came to me with hand-wound double duel exposed black bobbin humbuckers. The guitar has a solid maple body with a set solid maple neck. The output is hot, and the tone was almost painfully bright. Putting chrome covers on the pups kinda helped round off the sharp tone a little. I didn't find it to be a big difference... but it definitely helped, and gave me the look I wanted.
 
I better get the flats of my Greco TB IV!!!!!

Get them off quick, otherwise you'll be forced off the monkey bars and back into the sandbox with me.
Only I can't play with you kids on the monkey bars as I don't have possession of those new Epi's yet.
You don't want to be stuck with me in the box.
 
Wow what a group! Feel right at home. On the left is my 2012 Gibson with a Hipshot bridge. On the right my Bachbird before I replaced pickups, wiring, nut, machines etc. etc. Me playing the finished Bachbird.

I believe you're right Larry... I've seen another video with the same guy, where he demoed the Tran-black Pro-V. So I guess he kept it... :)
I saw him demo a white Jack Casady and it was in the background also.

I also enjoyed a demo he did on a White T'Bird Classic. He played it onstage in that one. It gave a big bump to my consideration of the Classic Pro at the time. and since.
