Mate, what is it with you? You’ve started a perfectly reasonable thread which you are now sabotaging. We can all do without the petty insults and it’s not the first time this has been said.

a) Wash your mouth out 😂 b) You are both wrong and right. JG 1 (single). JG 2&3 (double - released together). All later remastered as a triple boxed set.

We do The Final Countdown. Works a treat.

Depends on how well they have been put together. I would imagine there are many people out there with solid colour instruments with the misguided belief that they are one piece bodies.

I heard VH were going to release some archive recordings of You Really Got Me, Ice Cream Man, You’re No Good, Where Have All The Good Times Gone, Oh Pretty Woman etc etc 😂

Funny you should post that. I was watching a gig on You Tube last night that has been remastered (again) recently that I must have watched a thousand times. It still gives me goosebumps now. The music, the people involved, the time. It’s very much more than ‘a gig’ for me.

There was an utter cringe fest on Jeremy Vine's show this afternoon where the complete twunt had all manner of guitarists phoning in to do tributes on their guitars. The signal crapped out all over the shop and it was just awful. I find him unbearable at the best of times, but he then admitted he didn't;t have a clue that EVH did the solo in Beat It. Utter utter 🔔 end.

The truth of the matter is that there is not, to my knowledge, any courier that at least someone hasn’t had an issue with somewhere along the line.

Ah, but it’s a signature model 😉

I don’t consider myself as leading or following. We try and stick together as closely as possible.

When I took the Flea to Rob for the graphite neck to be fitted, it had a custom scratch plate fitted to the body, I didn’t give it a second thought until I decided to put the original back on only to find that it didn’t fit around the heel joint. It’s only a little thing, but it would be nice to be able to swap between the two guards.

I was gonna say, that one actually looks alright. As long as it’s sorted for you, that’s all that counts 👍

This about sums it up. Plus, as mentioned, it seems the OP has misunderstood the meaning of ‘book matching’ in it’s usual context. Slating a manufacturer for something that you personally don’t like the look of, is a little odd. Sounds like it’s personal taste and nothing more. Is it this one that they now have on offer?

I think you’ve just won yourself the ‘sustain cliche’ award.

The way I have always interpreted the comments about sustain is that it sets certain basses apart from those that very little sustain i.e. the ones that just sound dead and lifeless. A muted sound has its place, but not a bass without foam under the strings.

Just showed it to Mrs.H and she doesn’t know who Ronn Moss is either 🤷‍♂️.

Ooof. Loving that 😍

Looks like they ran out of neck bolts as well as paint in the spray shop. I do love a Stingray, but I think I’ll pass.

Yes, we don’t talk about the Gilded one any more thank you 😉. Yes, the Flea broke, but it’s still here with its new graphite neck. Just need to sort out getting the original pick guard to fit. I think the heels on the Status necks must be a very slightly different shape.

Ha ha. I prefer a biscuit based chocolate snack, perchance a Twix 😎
