I'll send a PM later 👍 He was an amazing musician - Downwind (the album) was one of the soundtracks to my youth and had a definite influence on my playing style.

Good call 👍 he was a friend of my mum's back in the day. I would have loved to have played with Duris Maxwell, the drummer on Devin Townsend's Ki. Sadly died in November.

You're not a fan of Prodigy then I take it?

A bit annoyed that I picked the wrong one on the tuning test a few times - it's counter-intuitive to have to pick the bad one I feel.

I saw that FB add too @stewblack - I get the feeling they know exactly what they are selling but are playing a bit dumb so buyers think they are getting one over them. They were selling a 'Gibson' Thunderbird for £300 too - fairly confident that's going to be an Epiphone with a truss rod cover swap. There's a Shergold headstock in most of their pictures - I'm more interested in that!

No problem 👍

That's a proper bit of noisy fun - love it! 👍

I got lucky and managed to pick up a Schaller 471 off eBay from a guy in the States. $74.99 shipped was a bit of a bargain. I'm (very slowly) converting an Epiphone T-bird to an 8 string.

Good luck with that!

Ooh that is nice 👍 Better than your other Peavey 😂

I know what you look like! 😂😂

I quite enjoy his vids, they're a laugh.

Got any photos @SteveXFR? 👍

Jeff Bezos can do one!

It really doesn't sit well tbf. Much like me and a Curbow - just looks like a toy!

"Take my photo and I will cut you" 😂

Was just about to post the same.

Quite. Epiphone manage to fit a Tune-o-matic to a T-bird, not sure why Gibson find this so difficult.

Many of my eBay/Gumtree/FB Marketplace* bargains have been instruments that were bought new and then left on a stand in the bedroom/living room/kitchen* for many years accumulating grime. Yours is not an unusual experience, many people do not realise that there is some effort involved in keeping an instrument in good condition. *delete as appropriate.

I have a Ltd83 - the posh version and one of the nicest Encores I've ever played.

My old one was wearing thin in places, felt fine though.

What kind of stuff are you after?

It has a Precision sized nut, not a Jazz nut like the Sterling Sub. Suits me fine, but not others.

Just put them on your ignore list. 👍

Wish I hadn't sold mine, frankly.
