Just in the door man! I'll be takin' a pic soon!:D

Until then, this pic of a pickguard I made for the Candy Cola Squier will have to tide you over!

It looks kinda like the Steve Harris signature bass that was out a few years ago. :cool:

I'll believe you, for now.

Got a good deal on that one alright. 666th post in this thread. How many guitars/basses you at now doc?

Doctor J

My missus says too many :pac:

I say I only have one RG

feylya

You don't have one of every sort so you don't have enough.

Doctor J

Yes, that's what I keep saying but she never listens. Women, eh?

feylya

"But look honey, you can play this one! And this one is flowery so it matches the curtains!"

Doctor J

The blue flower one ftw

This is what happens when you visit FS forums after a trip to the boozer. Naughty naughty but there ya go. Dunno if it's the recession or just trends but guitars like this shouldn't be sitting as cheap as this one was with zero interest in them. It's a crazy world. Anyway, ho ho ho

Congrats That's got an original Edge on it, which is a mucho-awesome trem as far as locking trems go.

Doctor J

Yeah I thought it might look a bit familiar to you

It's pretty damn good guitar, I have to say. I'll sort out the frets after crimbo, make it real nice

Aye, and there should be a few spares if the lad kept them, a couple of nut shims which you'll likely want if you're putting coat-hangers on it :pac: and trem spares etc. Lovely guitar for the money, does the job and does it well

Oh, and watch out for the locking trem posts. If you don't know they're there its easy to break them.

Amen to that. Had a go on it yesterday and now I have J-Custom gas

Doctor J

Yeah all the bits are there. Not too much to do to it tbh, just take the wee ruts out of the lower frets and an overall level and dress. I quite like the overall feel of the neck. The pickups are quite decent too, but I have half a mind to put EMGs into it just for something different. Ahh, I'll give it a while, just get used to it and decide then. First things first is to put some 11s on it. I just can't cope with 9s

Locking trem posts you say? Have never even heard of them. Cheers, I'll keep an eye out.

At that price you could bang whatever you want in there and it'll still be good value. Best of luck with it anyhow, 550s are great guitars

Locking trem posts you say? Have never even heard of them.

The smallest allen key goes inside the post, theres an internal allen screw that locks the post to the body studs. Stops the posts from wiggling and improves stability, and has to be unlocked again to adjust action. They stopped shipping them for a good while because people kept breaking them, but they re-introduced them last year, just not assembled.

Doctor J

Nice one, that could've been a pain in the hole to find out the hard way.

Quattroste

STOP F**KING BUYING GUITARS LIKE THEY'RE F**KING SWEETS FFS. :mad:

Nice Guitar Doc. I hope you'll be very happy together.

I have no money and I don't appreciate GAS and no money. :pac:

Whats this with people buying 3 guitars a week? Think of the recession... THE RECESSION! Wait.... umm... actually... nevermind.

adox

Looks a lot nicer in that picture than the ones the seller had on adverts.

I did enquire about it but just didnt have the confidence to buy a second hand guitar with a different body and neck. My knowledge of the hardware is so limited I wouldnt know what to look out for.

Re-what?

Doctor J

Cheers guys... though shame on you all for letting a nice guitar like that sit at such a low price for oh so long. Shame on you :pac:

I was only doing the humane thing by not letting the depravity go on any longer

Had a new arrival today. Pics already posted in another thread so no point uploading them again:

Never mind the sofa, i have gas for the carpet .

Nice! Straight swap? (heads over to adverts to check it out!):D

Doctor J

Steady on

Yeah, a straight swap was fair, you go for the instrument you'd enjoy rather than bickering over euros and cents

fish-head

I really need to take some pictures of the gear I got this year.. some very special stuff. Hold on to your hats!

Darkstrike

Sweet looking tele, man you just don't rest.

Quattroste

Nice Doc! Your a sick man, you know that don't you. Can I've a go..... :pac:

Doctor J

Ah come on, I gave one away to get it, that's ok, right?

I can't wait until it meets the Bassman

feylya

Ooooh

boycey

Nice Doc, I remember playing one of those in Goodwins. I was impressed. Teles and bigsbys are a nice combo, there's something about the tele twang and the bigsby's wobble that compliments each other.
BTW Happy New Year to y'all.

Doctor J

Only one pic? Does your camera have a teeeny tiny memory chip?

fish-head

There's more in the Year In Gear thread! My chip's bigger than your chip!
