OH,CRAP!

Not what the .... on the receiving end said!

 

[Nocturnal]

Yup. The LP5 has volume, tone for each pup and pup mix. I leave everything centered except volume-and I still go fubar occasionally.

I had an LPB2 4 string that was nice but the Barts weren't quite my taste. I bought a couple replacement pickups and then ended up trading it.

I traded it for this as I needed/wanted a 6 string for writing.

Looks like a good move.

What a beautiful Firebird!

Full disclosure: I'd had the LP5 for a couple of months and the sound was getting weaker. I thought maybe a wire was loose or something, so I took off the access panel. Imagine my surprise in finding a 9v battery in there.

Just had an alert from AMS re a closeout sale. A couple of Epi Pro IV's on there @ $549.

Work has been insane this last week, so i’ve given up trying to catch up on the last 30 pages or so.
However, I had to come and say that I caved today and bought the matching 12” extension cab for my Markbass. Doubling up certainly increases that bottom end a bit. Wow!
Plus unleashing the full 500w will annoy my guitarist beautifully at rehearsal on Monday
I was a bit annoyed though, as the music shop wouldn’t take my Tokai as part of the trade in. Apparently as a Gibson dealer they can’t sell any copies of tbirds, LPs, SGs etc. If Gibson spot even one used copy on the website they claim that they will stop supplying all Gibson and Epiphone products. Another great business practice from Gibson!

Some of our gigs we have limited space. Not tonight's-I can take the Bird

Doing a little enabling?

 

[Gaolee]

Marmite ... now there's a thing. There are two different sorts of Marmite. British Marmite and NZ Marmite. The British one is like umami axle grease and the NZ one resembles Vegemite but is much much better. British people think you are lying when you say NZ Marmite in entirely different, but it's true. Even the Mod would actually now agree that it's true.

You can keep 'em both. I eat food, not industrial waste products.

 

[Gaolee]

Most important thing is, that you are happy with the new look and feel good about it!

And hanging around with the biker gang with the rest of us. It's our job to enable all kinds of things, after all.

 

[Gaolee]

Wonder why???

He didn't disclose the scratch on the back. What a sleaze! Plus, it appears to have had six strings, or maybe the headstock isn't matched to the rest of the remains. There's just too many things wrong to even think about that one. I hate it when sellers try to pass things off for something they aren't.

 

[Gaolee]

Do you know, I'd love that but I suspect there is a lot more to that band than meets the eye (not a good choice of words was it?). I'm sure a band of their ilk would be a success in towns like London or Manchester but somehow here in sleepy Wales, it would upset the sheep

Maybe the sheep need something to think about besides staying in the fold. Just saying.

Might have found it on a dumpster dive and has no idea what it is

Yeah-like Mc Nuggets or Mc Rib

 

[Gaolee]

At one point the Mod had 56 tins stored (you can fit 2 in each cell of a 28 cell winerack).

That's just flat bizarre. Sorry and all, but 56 cans of beans takes up space that could be used for another 'Bird.

 

[Gaolee]

'flushed and lubed'

Bent tuner? It needs an alignment.

I don't think another 'Bird would fit in the winerack, pedals,though......

Hells bells I've gone all lady like
