Caught me another bird :)

[Shockwave]

Hey guys.

Just got this through the post from a lovely chap in america. A Japanese NJ Ironbird.






It's a lovely red one Sparkle finish, A couple of dings but cmon its an old ironbird Goes well with my Black Mk2 US one. Plus i got a hardcase with this one. So that makes 2 IB hardcases.

The pickup config makes the bass sound growly as hell. Both pups are on all the time. I think i might install a 3 way though. The Gold hardware is pretty worn from the years of playing so i may end up changing it out for some newer gold hardware.

There is a slight kink in the neck on the bass side around the 5th or 7th fret and makes alot of fret noise all over the board around that area. But i am ironing it out as we speak.

So as soon as the pink eagle necks been completely sorted, I can finally take a Family pic

Cheers kev! Much appreciated.

Rob.

PS: I had to pay 77 quid for import tax

Brilliant! I'm certainly looking forward to the family snapshot! Although one has to wonder why you don't just get a perspex Iron Bird ("perspex bird" hasn't got the same ring to it, admittedly) and put different lights behind it to make it appear different colours? That'd be cheaper AND insanely cool!

Crikey those pups could not be much closer together or much closer to the bridge. Have you caught something nasty from Lorne?
