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

    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…”

    Miller’s 77 Jazz
  7. AndyTravis
    Yup. What I’d do with it is anyone’s guess - would look cool on my wall. Mrs T would chop my nuts off though…

    What a looker! That dark metallic is stunning. Mad that these didn’t take off. typical Fender/Gibson number crunching… played a couple and was bowled over. im out of buying… for now. But this is fit.

    Eeeeeeh. Nice. just came to say that. These new thumbnails on sale posts are like mega temptation

    I sold the 72 custom to a mate. he left it on the back seat of a car and it got nicked… knob. the 72 thin line was sold on here - gutted I’ve no clue where it is.

    Had telecasters when I switched to guitar - loved my 72 custom and 72 thin line…lusted after a 52 reissue, but gave up 😂
  12. AndyTravis
    Jesus, I hope so - otherwise my 12 year old daughter has had a hard paper round 🤣
  13. AndyTravis
    Still tempted by a teal one of these…
  14. AndyTravis
    Yeah - not quite there.
  15. AndyTravis
    Well. You’ve met her. She’s a bit alright, she’ll do. 😉

    Yup. Epiphone Sheraton in Natural, 1996/97 ish. Gibson Lucille in cherry Taylor 410ce - should’ve bought that one. Gibson Southern Jumbo - again a specific one. Gibson J200 in Sunburst And a Yamaha c9 concert grand piano - heard one played by a fantastic pianist (guy called Adrian Lord - lovely bloke I worked with for a few years) and It was a magnificent sound. That’s lottery win territory. A neighbour has a C6 in their living room and she makes it sound wonderful.

    Well…12. Twelve years. Still here… I won’t share this years birthday photo as we were dancing around at 8.30am in our dressing gowns. But yeah - 12 years. I’ve learned nowt. 😉

    I hope so. She’d let me have the money for that too. showed her an 84 Wal the other day - “if one comes up at £5000 when you’re turning 40, I’ll sort it.” ”if it’s more than 5k?” ”Within a grand or so” cor blimey…
  19. AndyTravis
    £950? Think seller has been sniffing glue…
  20. AndyTravis
    She never forgave me for the white jazz, or the sting CS. The only two basses she ever mentions. She said the Sting 55 was the coolest bass she’s ever seen.

    Dave just bought a Roqsolid cab cover from me. legend. Really easy deal - he’s kept in touch and let me know when it arrived - mega handy. cheers mate x

    Hahaha. Misbehave is my middle name… (it’s not; it’s Philip)

    No intention of selling this - so please bear that in mind. Talking to @Maude about Yamaha BEX4C’s I’m only interested in the blue or tobacco burst ones. This bb450 is mid 80’s - basically an 1100’s without a preamp - depending on your experience of the bb1100s, might be the best of all worlds. came with a 38mm nut, which was incorrect and has been replaced with a bone 43mm (correct width). Came with wrong bridge, wrong knobs…all replaced with legit mid-80’s yamaha gubbins from my personal random stash of yamaha guts. (Parts from an 87 bb) It’s 34/35 years old so has some swirling and pick marks - but nothing structural or massive. Looks “pristine” from 6ft. It’s light. Like 8.5/9lbs Will come with a Ritter Classic gig bag. Genuinely only interested in a BEX4C. So in no mad rush. Thank you for looking, reading, enjoying and laughing at me. Love you too.
