Oh, wait.... Quote
Kev Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I hope its a keeper mate! Is that an early sterling as well?? Quote
Owen Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I'm glad the guitarist has earplugs, that's a lot of Marshalls! Quote

Grand Wazoo Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) And we have an old saying in Italy that goes like this: [i][b]"Ogni scarrafone e' bello a' mamma sua"[/b][/i] which roughly translate in... [b][i]"every cockroach is beautiful to his own mom"[/i][/b], and that ultimately means that if you like it, that's what matter, and if others don't that's tough!

Lylodile Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I think thats really cool . It certainly looks more unique now . Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Have you posted pics on the EBMM forum? The guys their really embrace home modifications like this! Ha While your there send big poppa a message to see if he likes it and ask him if he thinks it would sound better with a j-east preamp and a Kent Armstrong pickup, The reply will be Internet gold I'm sure......
