Watching now 😢

Well. The wanted section has a bb1500a Advert as of about an hour ago.

So…the couch is too small for the BB gang. The white 350f was purchased in a “cheeky bid, I’ll never win it…” regret it later moment 2 weeks ago. It’s really nice: but I’ve prepared it for @lee650by changing the strings, knobs and bridge…gutted as it’s actually bloody lovely - I have a fretless I already don’t play and I know Lee wants one. The 450, it’s a stunner - but the 424’s are winning. So it’s been offered in trade. I must now endeavour to complete the 350 I’ve stripped. And the 414 needs a fret dress - the 9th is high and I’ve not got the tools anymore. Anyhow, a photo opportunity with outgoing team members was necessary.

Really fancy a green bb1000ma… Theres one on reverb at a great price, but by the time it gets to me it will accrue about £200 in import costs 🤦🏻‍♂️

1964… Schaller machineheads I think replacement too.

I’m going 67. @neepheid May know more. bridge is aftermarket (edit - spotted you’ve said that) and “custom” plate is a bit of a red herring possibly

In front, behind…depends how late I leave it…

That’s really cool.

Great playing - the jazz wins that for me.

My best mate went to see them with a girlfriend, he said it was a great gig - even though he absolutely detested them. we still rib him for it occasionally - I don’t really know why, they were at their peak (so it was ages ago) the girl dumped him soon after and he married a lovely girl a few years later… he’s one of those “life’s sorted” kind of guys, so it’s the only thing we’ve got on him…😂

I didn’t realise this until stumbling across this thread - I thought the Carvin was just a reworked LB75. Brian Bomberg has done the same thing but with Peavey/Dean and now Keisel.

I’ve looked at the door. That’s where I’m going. ”shocking pub carpet” hasn’t got enough Avenues for my fragile mind…

Current ESP Bunny Brunel model is exactly the same shape

Will see John Diggins getting an influx of new orders. I really think the Supernatural shape lends itself to modern colours etc. Loved this one - apart from the logo at the side of the neck…

They’re countersunk on the top Face - I know because I have a gold set I was going to use but can’t…

I’ve got 3 daughters… when Ella moves on with a partner, I’ll be wounded - very typical dad of daughter, I will cry like a wounded dog. Iris (youngest) - I will be proud, sad and protective. Will wave her off with a tear in my eye. Maggie (middle, currently 5) - I’m not saving for her wedding, I’m saving for Bail money. She’s a psycho. When my lad comes up with someone daft enough to marry him, I’ll have a party 😂😉 (not really)

I’ve been using d’addario, but spotted some fenders at £13 a set so bought a load. think these had come to me with 45-105’s and I’ve gone down to 45-100, not huge jump but they had mega low action to start with…

Has a look of the other westone - was it a raider? edit - is was the dynasty I was thinking of, but it’s like a mix of the 2…

Just been recording some bits, the new strings have settled on the 424x’s - need another tweak - Bit buzzy 😩

Zombie thread… Gibson Bunny Brunel

Mrs T met nickleback. Sat and had lunch with them. I can’t remember how or why this happened, but it’s while she was at Edge Hill university. She just randomly came out with this story one night when we were talking about bands we automatically skipped (hers was the Smiths…) she said they were really nice blokes. one of the Rare occasions when you have no response. - just checked this with her now to check it wasn’t a brain fart. ”there was a Canadian guy on our teacher training course called Dave who was a bit older than us, a bit of a loner. We were talking about poetry and I said I’d written some pieces. He said he was going to meet some friends who were over from Canada. So as I wanted breakfast, we drove to Ormskirk and had a full English breakfast with his friends - are there 2 brothers in Nickleback? It was them… we had a full English and spoke about poetry…”

Congratulations, dreading the wedding stage.
