Perhaps you all could chip in a little and I could have this tattoo'd as a tramp stamp.

Don't do it! Do not cave.
Meaning not the right thing for you.
I guess the Queens Queendom is getting a little restless for some reason. All this to do about straps and strap buttons.........

On your forehead. Actually saw a dude yesterday at the Stones concert, who had some indian symbol in the Manson spot.
btw to calm everyone, could we just call it:
#62 - vacant
until we find something or someone worthy.
btw #2. Ronnie used a Firebird for "It's only Rock 'n' Roll..". I know why he's my fav.
#62 needs to be vacant
- so that each time the list comes out, someone can point out that there is no #62, and
- because 62 is unlucky, no one should suffer with being #62.
62 is the first year Before Thunderbird. 1 BT.

yes, it's now a special number.., cosmic even
Similar effect, but it's a mechanical device that works like the wheel on a hurdy-gurdy to vibrate the strings, rather than using electro-magnetism like an eBow.That's amazing! I can't believe I've never heard off one before! If they had been around back in the day, I bet John Paul Jones would've used it on Kashmir.
Does it work similarly to an eBow?
What strap is that and how much did it run you?
Does anyone here have a favorite source for replacement truss rod covers? I need one for the NR with the Gibson logo upside down.
Couldn't say what it is, it's about 15 years old and someone gave it to me when I was in Portland. What I like is it is suede and no slip and slide. Nice and soft as well.

You could check with this seller. They customize colors so they may be able to change the logo for you.

Thanks. I've seen his stuff. Just curious if there's any that the group here has experience with.
By the way, stay with gold like the stock one?

Incredibly cool! I'd love to play around with one!
In the video you posted, the sound that came out of that Spector, was that of a very natural sounding bowed instrument (to my ears anyway). Is that accomplished with nothing more than plug & play (with the Gizmo obviously), or do you think he had a bunch of fx all over it to accomplish that?
62 is Thunderbird - 1 and we all know that - 1 is just wrong. Always + 1
WOW man! Just lookin' at that place... I swear I've played there before! A thousand times, in a thousand towns. What a flashback! Musta been fun!
I think he plays it both with effects and clean.
When I tested it clean at my tech's place, it sounded pretty similar to a bowed instrument. The eBow, on the other hand, takes a little overdrive to get there.
I'll be running through overdrive all the time, though, because that's the nature of my amp.
