The Empyrean is the one I fall to regularly. Just...it must sound awesome in his head - it must. There are glimmers of genius throughout.

He looks really well these days (his teeth are implants - but hey...)

If you think about it too - Californication was the result of a 6/7 year gap when JF went off the map (scarily so - theres a horrifically no holds barred Dutch documentary about this period of his life)... This could be something amazing - I love JF’s ideas on how solo projects but the more pop structure of the band setting reigns it in to being more listenable.

@Maude we’ll see - The Getaway was really enjoyable on the whole. We’ll see.

Apparently $2500 a month to her adult brother for his living expenses too.

First time 1988-1992, 1998-2009... His second stint was much longer. Maybe he’ll increase again on stint 3. Although they’ll be mid 60’s by then. Unless there’s something super special waiting to happen - it might be a swan song thing.

Just seeing if the Wikipedia page had been updated. Seems JF is paying $53,000 a month to his ex wife since their divorce. He has to work - so it seems.

I find myself choosing other albums before it - but I do listen to it. I tend to skip certain tracks.

I think he’s been doing pretty well - he looked great at world record store day. Think he’s been fairly active in the background, and he gave a 62 telecaster to Josh Klinghoffer. But I’d say he has a few spare.

Josh had been Johns back up and guitar tech for a good while...I’d say he’ll be milling around somewhere. I actually really enjoyed their output with him.

Could’ve made a decent single disc album that - think it was a sign their egos had swollen...

Hope they recapture some of that BSSM/Californication magic.

woohoo! No offence to JK.

Same reason

Going to go over the infill on the headstock again - not perfectly flattened. Happy with it as a “repair” though.

Well. After a bit of messing about...it’s more or less finished. And May be going on a trade to a mate.

See what happens with a potential trade today. A guy really wants my bass but only has a 5 to trade - a lovely Bass but I’m unlikely to bond with it. dont want to spend while I’ve got money tied in a trade - will keep in touch

Yeah. It would seem it - what a shame as it ticks so many boxes. Would a BA2/Omega work - bit more travel?

Would tapered strings not resolve it?

The bottom section tends to snap off, if someone didn’t have the skill to glue it back on...they’ve just made a hash of it. These fetch about a grand - in some cases more. Mostly down to the Nirvana/Rocket From The Krypt Connections. I tried to order one of the 2015 limited edition ones. But was let down. Theres one on EBay now at £625, collect only and miles away. A real shame.

I think it’s a black Eagle with all the good bits and frets crudely removed. what a shame

Go to the gig as a punter with a better looking, younger band. Make a big fuss out of every joke and make sure you’re in their line of sight all night...
