  1. My daughter referred to Green Day as “the original punk band”. I’m still crying a bit inside.
  2. Really fancy one of these for the living room… Bit far away…🤦🏻
  3. Yeah, genuine. equivalent of a MIJ standard will be a decent workhorse - nice colour
  4. I’ve read this a few times… I can take it or leave it. I gigged like a bastard from 13 years old to 34. And I don’t need to do it. I have debated it, joining a covers band just to play live… But I just don’t care. I’ve done big festivals and sh*tty pubs, full theatres and empty gig venues. I just don’t need or desire to gig much - about 4 a year would do me
  5. Yeah. Quite honestly the best P type bass I ever played or owned. if I wasn’t suffering from acute musicman-itis, I’d have this already. stunner.
  6. Most of the Gibson j200 acoustics (50’s-60’s) had figured maple necks, as did quite a few fenders of that era. (The pictured one is a 67/8) i know with fender that was just whatever maple they had - but Gibson obviously had great stocks of figured stuff because of Les Paul tops etc. A lot of the jazz guitar luthiers used flamed maple too for necks around that time. Anyhow - it’s a fancy bit of wood - I quite enjoy the Birdseye figuring on my 2 SR5’s and the “sledge” sabre I had was beautifully figured.
  7. Ooh god no, that’s a write off…dark boards only for matching heads…
  8. Now that’s an itch I didn’t know I needed to scratch 😳
  9. I had to replace the bass parts on an album once, the original player was good but had messed up on timing and feel of some tracks so vocalist wanted another player. I arrived with a Warwick, a stingray and as I left I picked up my Hohner B2A as a “just in case” - the engineer/producer said “try that funny 80’s thing” and we used it on 9 more tracks - he couldn’t believe the noise out of it. Sold it years ago. Keep on meaning to get another.
  10. Yeah - it is a modded pickguard. Very well done though.
