Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270450188157&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...=STRK:MESELX:IT[/url] My silly daughter seems to want a red (probably epiphone) SG guitar, so she wants to sell her lovely daisy rock heartbreaker. Sounds & feels very much like my mustang with its 30" scale and punchy 'Duncan Designed' P bass pickup, but heart-shaped. ...And very Purple (with lots of mojo).

Dr.Dave Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I'm man enough - I've thought for a while we could use a couple of diasy rocks in the ZZ trib. Band brain storming session tonight , as we tend to do every so often , if I can persuade our guitar player to consider one too I'll have this on the watch list.

Bassassin Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 'Course I would. :brow: I'm starting to think we need an "Are you man enough?" sticky - particularly considering how sorely tempted I am by [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110429803150"]this[/url].

It does balance a lot better using the extra strap button I added where the bottom horn would be.

BigRedX Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) In the Mud picture both the bass and the guitar are by John Birch. The bass J-LP said is an 8-string and the guitar is a 12 string. The guitar re-appeared as a prop on the cover of the the Lisa B "Fascinated" single.
