I got the Goth back from my neighbor after a 2 year period and the action had "grown" somewhat...not unplayable by any means, but it was strung with Chromes (which still sounded amazing on this thing) and it was like a left hand finger strengthening exercise ha ha! man those things were tight...anyhow, decided I'd get a black tbird pickguard for it..(because all tbirds need a tbird on them!), put the trc from the other Epi IV on it, made a truss rod adjustment, and strung it with regular Slinky's that I had laying around....sounds awesome :) but since it had flats on it...I might put Cobalt flats on it...I love them on the 7ender.

This was the former #1 bird until I got the VP. I bought the stainless pickguard about 9 years ago and it has resided on the Goth for the most part. The guy that I bought the pickguardView attachment 3332227 from threw in the trc for free, but I had to grind off the nut end to make it work. The holes were spot on for some reason lol. It also has Hipshot tuners (like the Goth) and a Hipshot bridge. Strung with Black Beauties...needs more shiny stuff though, maybe some Chinabuckers at some point!?


I know some have been asking about gig bags for the VP...no experience with those, but the VP will NOT fit the old EPI case...toooo long


And the 7ender...with tort...look at it..LOOK AT IT!!! LOL! I just got a bwb one in the mail...it'll be going on tonight..do you see a pattern here? Rob needs as much black as possible ha ha ha! And the poor Rick...It is beautiful, I love the neck, it needed a proper set up from day one...I just haven't bonded with it....so off to the local music shop for sale it goes..sad thing is, and I know this is superficial, the main reason it's going is...it's not JetGlo :D

Looks like a Fender Coronado II bass.

SOLD - For Sale: 1967 Fender Coronado 2 Bass, 0

I knew someone who had the guitar, it was a pig of a thing. Strings went through the hollow body -- basically impossible to restring anywhere but a well lit bench.

The guitar player in Prayer Flags mostly uses a Coronado reissue. I thought it strange because he owns a ton of cool guitars, but that’s his main live guitar. Does work well for him, I suppose. My favorites of his are either his Jazzmaster or his 1984 Gibson Explorer with 3 P90’s, but he’s rad, so I’m not gonna tell him what t do :)

Explorer please!

I didn't give the guitarist we're trying out this weekend many instructions, other than to bring humbuckers if she can, and a delay and a gnarly dirt pedal would be nice.

She has a Digitech Obscura delay, which seems pretty rad, and an EHX Green Russian reissue, which also seems pretty cool.

Fingers crossed this one works out.

Fingers crossed here too. Hope it works out!

Yeah, I’d take the Explorer too. It’s a very special guitar, but Harlowe likes super bright, biting sounds and the other guitar player (when not playing pedal steel) favors a Les Paul, which kinda balances things out I guess

If she shows up with one of these, she's a keeper!

I was wondering how long it would take for a commonwealth comment about their band name to turn up. Longer than expected turns out to be the answer. Slackers!

Sorry. Slept in. It is a Saturday morning after all. :laugh:

Actually Fanny (band? Singer?) has been popping up in my YouTube suggestions for the last week or two.
A Resurgence of Fanny?
