Oh that's lovely, what a gift; congratulations Freddy X

Wow James, that's such a beauty. I think I'm going to get a Bass VI and set it up as a baritone again, my old one was brilliant.

I'm not sending any massive shoes through. I've got bills of my own to pay.

Oh nice work getting one,, that's a cracking wah. I didn't realise they were going to be such brilliant colours too; I love it.

Murf, not a Moogerfooger n00b.

(I'm going to buy one).

NEW ZWAN JAGUAR DAY.

I've bored on before how I feel there's a dissertation in "Zwan would have been an amazing band were it not for that pesky Billy Corgan". Wossname the thunderdrummer from the Smashing Pipkins, Paz Lechantin, Matt Sweeney, Dave Pajo. What's not to like? Billy Corgan. But back in ...

So it turns out that James and I, as well as living very close to each other, have also both got new guitars today. I don't want to steal his thunder (after all, it's lovely to have him back), so I'll just leave this here as a teaser before the reveal tomorrow...

I had no idea he had his own sig, but I strongly approve.

The suspense of it being Rob's birthday (HBDROB) and not knowing what the mystery guitar parcel was is killing me here.

Stay on target Rob, keep your powder dry; I've never known it be a buyer's market like this.

They do, but you're more likely to find a Burny one. It's variously labelled as a 54, a JB or a Jeff Beck model. Black or oxblood. Humbuckers on the latter two models mind.

Unironically love this.

Only one so far I've liked.

MIJ Tokais are really cheap at the moment, and insane value. I'd get something non-Fender scale length, so there's not much of an overlap in the old venn diagram. Casino also a good shout.

So here's a funny thing. I'd watched this video once before a while back when it last came up for sale, but didn't put two and two together at the time. In looking at the serial number, and that of a black one that sold on Reverb a few years ago, turns out this one originally came from Project Music ...

Funny you should say that...

KNOBDATE : I put the black knobs on, and it made me miss the gold ones. However, the old gold knobs were a bad fit, so I've ordered a replacement pair of gold ones like the new black ones (hope you can follow this), as well as some amber ones, as I'm loathe to pay more for the postage than I do for ...

It's a 90 Standard, I had a peep under there on Saturday. So far, I love it; have had a Bareknuckle, a Duncan and a Zhangbucker before, and this one seems less CAPSLOCK. Not sure if it's maybe wound less hot?

I've always wanted a pink junior, from seeing the tv yellows under red stage lights.

Neck already oiled, and Maybach have a junior for you.

I like tort on a black Jag, but the Junior that started this whole latest round of the dance (a recent black singlecut reissue with a ridiculous neck that I missed out on by like an hour) had a tort guard. And I always planned to change that to black anyhow. Only the knobs are in question. AxesRUs ...
