I had one of those - they appear regularly with about 4 or 5 different brand names on. I’d say the pickguard is non original and replaced the factory one - mine was brittle and cracked so I presume this was commonplace

Mr Sadowsky confirmed that labella made their nickels, but for whatever reason would never say who made his steels and apparently they were different factories. Might have to start trying different companies again, had just got used to them so I can learn again. Tried some Ernie Ball steels and they were ok, a bit rough at first.

Ah poo. Need to figure out who made their blue steels then. FFS. Bought 4 sets, should’ve bought 12

I buy my strings from them because they stock Sadowsky strings - they always arrive within a couple of days. And they’re cheaper than buying from Thomann (even before B-sit.) Haven’t bought anything else from them though.

I listened to St.Anger again the other day. I need to stop trying with that album. Jesus.

I came from eBay to look at the notifications on here 😂

I think I’ll keep this 3/4 years, sell and upgrade - if I use it enough. Although I’d promised myself a logic setup with enough ins for a live recording setup when I’ve done the garage conversion.

Just reminded me of this...

I read something about this, it sounded really convoluted so instead of the headache of trying to set it up with potentially limited success...I’d just spend the couple of hundred quid difference. Im too much of a technophobe to get into it.

Not sure if he has an account on here, he’s active on Facebook

If it’s was £100 (I think that’s where it should be in that state) - I would get it, and have Dave Wilson do a Nice paint job on it, matching headstock with new Decal...

It’s just too messed with to be a £300 BB300. Didnt realise the machineheads had been swapped (didn’t look at all photos) and the relentless mentions of “road worn” probably means it’s rough as derrière.

Are they EMG’s?

Cheers @hiram.k.hackenbacker, thing is - I can work quickly on GarageBand and share with guitarist and drummer who use logic. Also, I’ve spent £150 on an interface (Apogee Jam+) which works well with Apple...so I’m used to it all. This is plenty for me - I realised that AO.com had offered me up to £2000 when I went for interest free but I’ll pay it off in 2 months and have done with it. Just didn’t have £360 this month after putting 2 new tyres on the Volvo 🙄

Haha, she’s known me since 1987. She knew what she was doing...

I sold mine to @bigsmokebass and should’ve got it back. It was bloody lovely - I’ll get another. I would’ve jumped on that white one but it needs to be £150

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193881758658 now. £295 is too much. And a previous div owned has sanded off the Yamaha logo. looks nice in white though.

If you can get to £250, get it snapped up. im annoyed my last bb300 came back up for sale and I didn’t have the cash

Haha. Well, I hope to stick around for a good while mate. I’m only 36. Still, if 2020 taught me anything it was that “no age” doesn’t count. It will all be left to the kids. Suppose you could woo Mrs T once I’m gone; it’s alright - ive set the bar low, she really expects nothing but convenient bill sharing and relentless disappointment.

@lee650 what did you put on the highway

No nothing needed mate. The current herd covers all sounds needed.

Annoyingly, I think the 5th gen would’ve done, oh well. New toy Tuesday for me...

Picked an iPad up off a mate today, I've been after one for a while. All set up, download GarageBand, which I’m actually getting really comfortable with for demos and remote recording. ”you must download ios13 or higher to use this app...” Oh balls. This is an older 4th gen iPad. It will only go up to ios11 Ok ok, I’ll use it for the kids...attempt to download Google apps etc...”you must download ios13 or higher...” FOR FECKING GOOGLE?! Anyhow, I’ve given it my mum for browsing Wayfair and Wowcher or whatever 63 year old grandma’s do... Set all the websites she likes as desktop items via Safari. Blah. I was so disappointed, a bit deflated. So I just bought an iPad 8th generation (basic model) which will be solely used for recording and band stuff like social media. AO doing 12m 0% so was rude not to really. iPad 8 was released in September 2020 so I will get at least 6 months out of it before it’s defunct 😂
