Has anyone got a bb425x/1025x/2025x pickguard spare, or can lend me one for a template? Or draw around theirs accurately for a template? Thanks

I’m a big fan of this, I’m already in the midst of a P/J thing... this is nice though

Well...we’ll see, I’ve messaged Sontec who were the spares company Yamaha directed me to when I was looking for a pickguard. I reckon it will be a “no” - last time I messaged them, there were still new 1024/2024’s in shops. So it’s a good few years ago.

I’ve just messaged a Yamaha spares supplier to see if the bb1024 pickups are still available.

I love it in natural too

There are a few weird ones knocking about since Ashdown cleared the warehouse out. Like prototypes and stuff.

So you could do PRS hard mask, or ESP style angular. Id mask where the heel is and use that inherent “shoulder” as the stop point. I tried a quick phone mess to illustrate

Stumbled across a gigbag @walshy was selling. Looks to be an early 2000’s Ibanez, possibly for an art core model? Fits Mr Casady like a glove.

@Maude I did the same. Love that BEX - miss my blue one.

You have to consider what goes with the red inlays. Orange will clash. metallic silver?

Green needs to stay. Black one...make it lime green

There seems to be a “thing” for retopped bb615’s 🤨

The purple bb under way at chez Travis...

We bought a zoom h2n, works ok. Wish we’d gone with the newest version as apparently they’re a bit better. second hand, think I paid £75/£80

One of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274726889279?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=274726889279&targetid=878692190845&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=1006912&poi=&campaignid=9441192237&mkgroupid=97516567402&rlsatarget=pla-878692190845&abcId=578896&merchantid=9667364&gclid=CjwKCAjwhMmEBhBwEiwAXwFoEXpKZHbklYgVPVrIuNoyXw3IWKQpXY_SiZUV4cJk0ZezTnnhG3_Y1RoCgCcQAvD_BwE

It’s a highway 1 series made in 2009z

Deffo purple. And I threw a cheeky bid at a gold gotoh bridge on eBay... well...gold hardware it is. like this.

If I used 45’s I’d be all over those

I was playing in a soul/Motown band and I played a precision. We’re a funk band and I mentioned a guitarist we had at the time arrived with a skull and crossbones painted Jackson...looked a bit stupid, but soon after he was asked to leave as he didn’t chip in with costs and we couldn’t get on with him. When I mentioned his guitar being a bit “off message” on here - I was roundly (and, in retrospect...rightly) told off. I don’t know - some people are gear mad and want to be seen with certain gear - the Dingwall’s are very “in” with metal/rock players at the minute. Every demo I hear of them sounds well off to me - it sounds like it’s being played down an old telephone line... But, if you can afford the change and you fancy it - you feel as if the Ibanez 300 is letting you down; go for it. Don’t skint yourself chasing Excalibur to suit someone else’s desired image though.
