Fundamental mistake

[trev]

Jcm is used for the les Paul and my acoustics, yea it's a 4x10, there's a head that goes with it, not sure why it wasn't in that pic as that was the day I was packing up to move, the head might have already been packed, but it's a half stack for my bass

Let's have a pic of the bass then HT. I've now got no backline gear apart from a 15w crate that I use for my acoustics. Over the weekend I'll take some photos of my collection

dillb, on what grounds would you like me to ban him, have a look at the forum rules and if you can find one he's broken, I'll swing me ban hammer!

 

[trev]

I've always wanted a gretsch white falcon but couldn't justify it.
though peerless do a really nice homage to one

Beautiful guitars but on some models the body is way too big. So what have you got instead of the Gretsch?

Not asking for a ban, but the amount of male genitals he speaks and no one understands makes everyone of his threads pointless surely?

Don't worry mate, it's gone way off topic and I don't think it's ever going back. Now if we can do that with all his threads

It's a rubbish pic, I've just pulled it off my NAS, I'll drag it out of its cupboard tomorrow n take a better pic.

I also have a standard squire bass that stays out for me to practice on.

Old Jag fella is one interesting character

He makes a statement that confuses everyone,he rarely asks a questions or offers opinions
Its bare knuckled "statement making"posts written in a mumbling sort of way

Its as if he sees a situation,then he pours his meandering thoughts(that are zooming around his brain)then pens them into words that we can't decipher

I read his posts in the hope that one of these days I will have the faintest grasp of what he is harping on about
Keep em coming Old Jag lad

 

[Silly Sausage]

Trev, I'd like to see GS's guitar as well.
I've mingled with a few decent players with their old Strats etc.
Not as a player like, I can just fumble around a bit.
I know one geezer, great guitar and harmonica player, but he'll never play live (in front of an audience) for some reason!?!?

Fender basses are great to play but to me they're horrible ugly things. The bodies are massive.
But opinions are like buttholes, everyone's got one

Here's the favourite of my collection. It's a Spector Pro Series Legend, that's an image of it I pulled off the net. Mine is sleeping safely wrapped up in it's case

 

[ferg]

I dunno guys.

The op could be an attention seeker, someone who has gone over the edge and needs protected from himself or a troll.

Either way this isn't the place for it.

A ban wouldn't be a punishment for the first two or a surprise to the third.

I think It's time for the OP to have the GLENN line through his name

way off topic now.
i love the boys posts btw.absolute radge.
my semi acoustic is a epiphone sheraton in a dark cherry bought in 1988 for 200 quid second hand
i think its from 1983 going by the serial number and is japanese as far as i can tell.
anyone that plays it asks me "if you ever think of selling this one....."
no chance I've got this far without having to flog it. its a keeper .
others are a fender jagstang , gibson les paul platinum and a couple of nice schecters

Let's have a pic of your auld tele Geordie marra, obviously I know what they look like but I'd like to see yours.

You'll have to show me yours first you kinky bugger.

It's an Ibanez copy, ivory finish with a maple neck and been modded a little bit by fitting an Ibanez Super 80 humbucker at the neck end and a Di Marzio pre CBS Tele at the bridge.

I haven't played it for years, but it's still in tune - never goes out.

Ever tried a Burns or an Overwater?

For me there's only one bass and that's the Precision. but like you say I'm a butt hole.

 

[trev]

I've tried a couple of old Burns basses, I think one was the Bison. Then I tried the disaster that was the Flyte, lovely looking but what a heap of junk and the guitar was no better than the bass. I've also had the pleasure of borrowing a couple of Overwaters and they were all great but very pricey, a mate of mine had one custom made by them.

I don't think you can beat Spectors, it's just the look of the P and Jazz basses that puts me off them.

I never said you were a butthole

My others are a Burns Nu-Sonic from about '63 and a Burns LJ 24 from about '74.


Here's a stock piccie (not mine) of the LJ24:

 

[Geordie Spark]

I don't like that LJ24.I just bought it as a back up for the Tele.

A shop was selling them off for £99 after Burns went bust. The Flyte was for sale too at the same price and our other guitarist bought one - again just as a back up.

Here's a stock piccie of the Flyte - or at least half of it:

 

[trev]

I still think the Flyte is a beauty, it's just horrible to play. I suppose for a ton it would be a pretty ornament but that's about the best you could say about it

 

[Dcf]

burns always made quite unusual looking guitars.
did they not think they were the british equivalent of fender or something?
with the trend for retro looking guitars at the moment a revived burns would do well.
my lad has nice reissue 72 tele custom with two hum buckers that is nice to play.
i also liked prs guitars but couldn't justify the money to sit in the cupboard.
tried one and hated it.
but tried out a prs tremonti my brother bought recently that played like a dream
suppose they are like cars in the fact you can get a "friday" model of anything

 

[High Tower]

I thought about buying an Alembic bass but I do prefer a p bass, just feels great to play.

I have had a go on a burns Marvin
