It's been a while (couple of weeks) since I posted a GAS thread

Doctor J

Doctor J

What he said.

Karl Hungus

Chris still has something I want, but I want it so much I'm not even going to mention it for fear of someone else snatching it before I get a chance. My god it's agonizing.

John

You can tell me, I'm broke

I don't know if I can trust you. PM me with a large word, if I like it, I'll tell you.

John

Consider your vocabulary expanded

I spotted them yesterday during my daily routine drooling on chrisguitars.

I wouldn't kick that RR out of bed for eating chips (is that the right expression you mad Irish bastards?), but I don't like that Mockingbird at all. At all at all.

Can't get over that body shape...

Doctor J

Crisps, man, crips or biscuits

feylya

Please, someone convince me that I don't want or need that RR. Please!

Ancient1

[Jedi mind trick]You don't want or need that RR.[/Jedi mind trick]

Ancient1

Did it work?

Patricide

Meh the randy roads does nothing for me, the mocking bird however put another pickup in that thing and i think id be in love.

Doctor J

Fey, you know I can't lie to you... of course you need that guitar... I mean, look at it FFS... it's waiting for you to rock the hell out of it... damn

feylya

FFS, stop it ya bollix! The Eggle is enough. For now...

jcoote

ah ancient1 how canu say that u don't like the mockingbird its fantasic..better than the rr imo.


fey think of not gettin public transport anymore and sittin in a car park playin through your microcube in your own car

feylya

But I wouldn't be playing a trans red RR

Ancient1

Nothing against BC Rich at all, but it's just the Mockingbird body shape...it looks deformed. Actually it looks like I left it on the stove for too long.

I prefer the superstrat shape (obviously) - but not the finish!

jcoote

that finish only works if its camoflagued into a spandex background

ok fey just buy it!!!!!

Ravelleman

I wouldn't mind:

a Richie Sambora sig Strat,
a Jimmie Vaughan Strat or
a Muddy Waters Tele.

And a decent 5 string bass for recording.

And a boutique fuzz pedal (maybe a Tonefactor Huckleberry).

jcoote

yeah the sambora is nice but for an artist strat it would be a toss up between jeff beck and eric johnsons

and i've never been a fuzz man (more of a drive dude) although boutique pedals are always nice

Perfect for the Doc so

jcoote

John

He frizzes his hair up and puts on sweatbands before he goes in

Ancient1

And don't forget the neon yellow gaiters.

Doctor J

Hey I grew up in the 80's, spandex was all the rage, don't knock it!

jcoote

who says we were knockin it the comments the lads made there made u out to be a cool bastard doc

jcoote

John

Hahaha!

Karl Hungus

Truth be told, it isn't the nicest Mockingbird out there. This on the other hand:



Or how about this! Or this?

John

The two in the auctions I'm less hot on but that one you have there in your post is gorgeous. Black mockingbirds are nice but a bit meh when you compare them to something like that. Or this:


It's about the only guitar that I like in a natural finish.

For once I think out tastes have intersected.

Doctor J

That black Mockingbird is the only one I've every GASsed over. Those fancy ones... well... meh

feylya

Doc, just get yourself a nice black strat, single humbucker, single volume and a Kahler and you won't want that Mockingbird.

Doctor J

Ancient1, how did you guess Fey's password?

Well then, I think it should find a new home with you, Doc. I mean for $350, you'd be ****ing mad not to! Admit it, you need that guitar and it needs you.

It's easy - it's "BonJovi".



I love the binding and the finish on that red Mockingbird, but again, the body is just a disaster in my eyes.

John

I don't normally like pointy guitars but there's something curvy and sexy about a Mockingbird.

Karl Hungus

Ignore Ancient1... It's not a strat, why would he like it?

jcoote

lads yis are all mad bastards

i love em all the flamed top 7 is savage in fairness


hmm flamed top 7 thats not a bad name for a jazz quartet

Karl Hungus

Ah, but can you play that flamed top 7 in a jazz quartet?

Man, that's low! That's kebab owingly low

feylya wrote:

Although he's probably right, I'm too lazy to check however so I'll just assume it's right.

jcoote

i could chance it chances are they'd be a trio after about 30mins but it'd be worth it to own the guitar

kebab owningly is the new standard for bein a c**t good man fey

edit: no offence ancient1

ferdi

that red 'bird is hot ****

Ah, but there are exceptions of course! I love Vs, Explorers and even the odd Warlock. I don't have pointy-guitar phobia, but I just cannot understand that Mockingbird. It's wrong.

Yeah, it is.

But sometimes wrong can look so unbelievable right! Parker Fly for example.

Pyr0

I don't like that black Mockingbird at all, it's horrible looking. Now the RR on the other hand, I wouldn't know anything worthy enough to play on it :P

Doctor J

My GAS for these instruments has been quashed somewhat by my main man Bert in Germany telling me it will be only two or three more weeks
