The Everlasting - MSP

I don't think it's stock - it looks 'normal' from a distance but the pickups don't look like RIC to me.

I've been an ardent fan of Metallica since I was 14. Not a huge fan of Reload/Garage Inc./S&M, but I've always stuck with them. Yesterday was my birthday and normally a new Metallica album released in my birthday would be a wonderful thing but for the first time I have absolutely no drive to listen to it. I've struggled with Lars' appalling, too-loud drums for years and now hearing them programmed to death on the new stuff... I think I'm done. That and the new songs having as much wallop as a damp flannel.

Higher Ground - Stevland Wonder

A tenner says the redhead on the right is the bass player.

Run Of The Mill - Judas Priest

Let's see it then! 😄

Looks like its been left on the radiator too long.

Dig It - Beetles

Have yourself a merry little Christmas...

A '54-style Precision with no scratchplate. Deep quilted top, maple cap neck with stripes. Squier CV profile neck, not the traditional 50s baseball bat. Any vintage toned single coil P pickup. DR Hi Beams 😁

Your question is worded in a way that suggests you think they don't. "Ruin" is a bit of a loaded word too. They changed the arrangements of a couple of songs. You didn't approve. Hardly ruined. And the answer to your question has to be yes, without hesitation.

The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine - Simon and Garfunkel

This particular bass was modded with a neck pickup - if you look closely the routing is a bit more squared off than the others. I seem to remember he added the neck pickup to get a bit closer to his Rickenbacker sound. Not sure how it's wired. Wired! 🤣

Forever Autumn - WOTW

That's one of my favourite covers ever! If my Beatles tribute band ever gets off the ground I would suggest you don't listen to us, it will sound like this 😄

My Rose Has Left Me - Mulligan and O'Hare

Flying - Strawbs

The Little White Cloud that Cried - poor old Johnnie Ray

P I S S - Pantera

The Small Hours - Holocaust

That is a stunning instrument. That top looks like you could dive in.

Hot Mango Flush - Jethro Tull

Only Mama Knows - Macca
