^ I think that was in reference to the dinosaur stickers that were originally on it.

Yeah the original pickguard was 100% covered by dinosaur stickers so this particular bass is named bronto

Not done one of these for a while. My collection of guitars has gone a bit TGP/Louis XVI.

Left to right, back row: Gibson Firebird V, MJT tele, Tokai LP Jr DC, MJT strat. Front row: AVRI Jazzmaster, Edwards 335.

*goes back to hamfistedly plunking out "Wild Thing", pausing to painstakingly place fingers on that tricky B chord*

Wow those are some lovely guitars you have there. That 335 looks really nice. I think you could cover pretty much any style of music with the guitars you have there!

i thought you'd sold that edwards, for some reason.

also, when did you get the lp jr?

also again, nice collection, you tasteful fucker.

But am I happy Stewart, eh? Am I?

I used to have an Edwards (a TV yellow DC, ironically) when I first joined shortscale, but sold it to fund the Jazzmaster all those years ago.

Got the Junior this summer (think there's a thread somewhere; previos owner was Roy Harper's ex-shepherd). It's brilliant; almost bought one just before Wim was born, but bought an SG instead (there was a waiting list). Have hankered after one ever since. Nice big neck, ever so light. And I like the way single pickup guitars make you play. Although perversely, I still fancy an Esquire (sherwood green, bound body, rosewood neck, if you're buying).

just don't use anything other than the bridge pickup, works for me.

I know I'm about to draw accusations of terrible m@j@ feathers, but: it's just not the same.

(Also, more importantly, I like the look)

I agree, if I have a choice of pickups I'll use them - so the guitar has to limit me, and in doing so opens up a different way of thinking... that's why I kept my melody maker in the great guitar cull of 2013.

How are you getting on with the Edwards 335?

Love the look of all those guitars Tim, the MJT ones especially.

Also love that 335, I'm missing the sound of humbucklers at the moment

I'm in the same camp as Stewart, hardly ever move off the bridge pup, especially live.

Nice collection Tim, I remember when you whittled it down to just a couple, soon built it back up.

Yep, numbers crept up a bit over the last year or so. I am unequivocally not allowed any more guitars.

James wrote:How are you getting on with the Edwards 335?

I like it a lot. Compared to other 335s I've played, it's got a big neck. Compared to my other guitars (with stupid big necks) it's got a fairly slim neck. Not playing it so much lately, but I went through a stage of playing nothing but a while back. Same as my Jazzmaster; barely picked it up all summer, but can't leave it alone now.

The only thing with Edwardses is that I swear they use the same neck on all their Gibson copies (they describe it as "between 50s and 60s") - it means good as they are, I'm never interested in any of their others, as they'll have an identical neck.

Yeah. I'll post some more up. It's a 1966 with a LH 1972 neck.
