Thanks! 99% sure I'm sticking with the black hardware. I think I'll get a pickup ring for the bridge pickup like the '60s ones have and like I did for my Reverse.

Well the Pyramid Gold's, which I actually have, compared to the Cobalts don't hurt my fingers! Can't comment on the Optimas, but the Pyramid's are really warm and rich sounding. Great lows, mids that set right and very pleasing top end. Cobalts are more like Rounds and the Pyramids are classic flat thump with some complexity going on. Cobalts have more of a modern punch, as you can imagine. Each is great for their tonal abilities.
It was only a matter of time....
I'm not normally a fan of much black hardware, but that looks fantastic as is. The looks of my '06 has grown on me, especially with the Black Beauties. At first I wasn't really sold on the black PUs and hardware, but now I really like how it looks. I'm so used to seeing a PU ring, I think it would look great.
I gave that one to you. I refrained from ahemming myself. Ahem.
Yeah, thanks. I always loved the black hardware. And black pickups look good with rings, too. My BC Rich also has it. But the ones on my Reverse are... reversible. They're held on with adhesive. I got that idea from Carlo.
Very cool. You sure are in the right place for all kinds of 60s amps. Makes you wonder whose hands those old amps passed through.
My drummer friend texted me something and I replied “ahem”.
He says “ahem?”
Has it found it’s way to the Rescue?
That, too. But so do you.

they mostly come from a friend’s store who’s been in the business for many decades. add a really (at times) happening music scene and you’re very likely to run into some interesting subjects..
yeah, I’ve had this one for awhile now, it survived the Paradise fires....fortunately, the innards are not too bad...
