11 years ago, this photoshoot was right out of Spinal Tap.

Dems some fierce wiminz!

Nice! I have been looking at that one on Reverb for a while. I'm looking forward to what you think. It looks like it started out life as a Nikky Sixx bass. It may have come from the factory as-is, with the exception of the paint.

As long as you are bringing it up...

Etsy buys music gear marketplace Reverb to expand its reach

I find it interesting in that I can think of little in the way of synergy between the two. Maybe management knows something I don't.

Buncha comedians....

Apparently anti-lefty bias is everywhere. Sorry man. Next time I am in Brooklyn, I'll buy you a left-handed beer.

Nice Amp!!

Supplied backline, I've been through my share of SVTs, give me a Hiwatt or Marshall any day.

Once again!

It sure won't look brand new, even with new paint. That's just fine with me.

So, it won't be reliced. It was already liced and doesn't need to be liced again.

I'm starting to have thoughts about having a bird refinished just to get a cool and unique colour.

Isn't that a SVT/BHM?

hear that...great for guitar imo...bass? not really my cup of tea...something about 6550 tubes (KT88s as well)...you'd be surprised how many Marshalls and Hiwatts i modded (both in the US and UK) to accept 6550s (in place of the EL-34s) as requested by their bass player owners..

TBT my Cataldo siggy! Onstage in Regina Saskatchewan with the Lou Gramm Band. View attachment 3487495

Saskatchewan?! One of the provinces I have not visited. I have been to Alberta and Manitoba (either side of it) and you could see it from both of those (obligatory joke about the flatness of it).

When I think of Saskatchewan, two things come to mind:
1. Dan Gallagher singing his Saskatchewan song on Test Pattern (Much Music game show)
2. Ricky from Trailer Park Boys beating a Saskatchewan (his word for sasquatch) with a baseball bat.

What? No Dog River? Or Wullerton?( )

Reverb has been nice while it lasted.

Minion yellow?

Those are sneaky, bad thoughts. They breed and multiply, then you have to do it. You misspelled color. Get that right or it will turn out all tort.

That would be, uhh, interesting.

 

[Gaolee]

That would be, uhh, interesting.

I had lots of thoughts about color before settling on Burgundy Mist Metallic. Purple, electric blue, yellow, British racing green, candy apple green, and probably some other colors passed through before sending it off for BMM.

And another picture of the PinkBird, about to fly home:

Different lighting makes it look completely different. Not yet wet sanded or buffed. Andy says that's going to happen tomorrow or Saturday, shipping out next week. I'm getting all wound up all of a sudden.

Shame you didn't get the superfluous pickup rout and pot holes filled while he was at it...

 

[JJR58]

Just ordere a 2x switch from dingwall to get bridge, bridge/neck parallel, bridge/neck seris, and neck. I'll be removing the middle pickup and fabricating some sort of ramp for better finger style playing. Loving this d-bird. Loving it!

You know you need a number. You have to be stamped as one of us.

 

[JJR58]

I've seen that before ... maybe I saw the listing. It's cool and the green stripe is unique. Getting the brown/fuchsia funeral case is a plus!

Was just gonna say the same thing. Aside from the case thing.

 

[JJR58]

Oh crap, that's right, today is Thursday. Well, lost track of all time as of last night.
Went to see Blondie and Elvis Costello at The Forest Hills Stadium. What a blast!!!
There will be pics, but in the usual, untraditional Jeff fashion.

I don't know, the fuchsia insides with satin cover just bring a coffin to mind... I have one and it's a very well made protective case.

I like the superfluous pickup and pots. Being an American who always thinks more is better and all, of course.
