[JJR58]

Just need to raise some funds, the way things are I'll have to go on the game or something OK something better if I'm going to raise cash

I'm working on, or at least trying to work on, saving cash for one of your Draig Birds.

Perhaps we should both go on the game

Notice how there are no pics with the amp on top of the stacked cabs.

My Tower of Peavey. Amp Head on top of Amp on top of Cabs all plugged in. My quiet practice rig

Oh, to be young enough-and strong enough............

I think I would be the worlds most unsuccessful, I was going to say I would suck at it Honest!

So would i , we need a new plan.

Then you have to swap out the PG to tort.

Where is @kat888 when you need her...

She's in her own happy place with no tort.

This is what's on my mind [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Yes. Consider yourself enabled.

That IS the EB-3L. I had one, liked the sound but the neck dive was too much(there are quite a few tunes where I hadda leggo the bass). Sold it. 'Course mine was ebony, maybe the cherry ones don't dive.

• Finger marks removed, strap locks installed and tuned up.
• Yes, those are the stock strings - can tell by the Epiphone installation - exactly one wrap around the post...
• The action is kind of high - just like they have them in the store because you know a wanker is going to come through and play the slappity - poppity song (there is only one song that these guys play right?). So, it was never taken in for the free set up either.
• The neck looks good. Plays nicely (except for the high action).
• It is heavier than the JC, but lighter than the TBird classic pro, so a very reasonable weight (I don't weigh my basses, but I do have a sense of relative weights).
• But it is neck heavy - more so than anything else I own (including the JC which is hollow!).

I don't think I will care about the neck dive. I expect I will put a Hipshot bridge on it and string it BEAD.

I loved my Ebony EB3 so much I ran the SG & EB Club. I traded mine thinking that I might get another one some day but I sure dont miss the neck dive and the weight of that bass cut into my shoulder something nasty after a 1 hour jam session, the nasty began about 20 minutes in. Awesome deep tone especially with the Dimarzio model 1. Huge sound improvement overall with added Tort.

Check, check & check.

 

[Gaolee]

Young and loud are states of mind.

Well, you know what they say: If it's too old, you're too loud. Or something like that.

Excellent

OK. THAT one I hadda look up. Kinda figured what it meant(I was right), but not used over here.

Really? I kinda thought that was universal

I like stronger women, faster whiskey, and younger cars.

Or something like that.

That comes as quite a surprise to me. SGs are usually on the lighter side of the scale
