I have a Slash, AFD les paul from 2010. They only made 600 of these. It didn't really look like how it was marketed. No 'reverse chevron flame top' BUT my word, it is an awesome sounding LP. I'm not a massive Slash fan (my wife is though) but I hoped it would look good. I nearly sent it back actually. As for Johnny Depp, well I think he's a great guitar player and I would buy his signature guitar because it looks great but I wouldn't have a use for it atm, so it's not on my list (I only buy stuff that I'm going to use these days)

Lovely I recently moved mine on. Iconic looking things aren't they

Alex bought a set of La Bella strings from me. Super fast payment and comms. Deal with confidence cheers

I'm sure my first one didnt have the serial number on it. This is about 16-17 years ago, when they first came out IIRC

Yesterday I restrung my Vintage 335 a like. The neck profile is very like my Gibson AFD guitars from 2010. It plays very well and cost a tenth of what the Gibson cost. The Gibson is a far better instrument in everyway but I still like the Vintage. Is it a can of worms? Who knows

they're mine, I shall reduce the price

wow that's cheap I have a set for sale on here, I shall reduce the price acordingly

yep get one. Until recently I had 3. Now I only have my bitsa P bass, maple board, no lines. Looks and sounds awesome. I'll keep it just in case I need a fretless in the future. I did do some rock gigs with it and it sounded great

ebay fees make it a waste of time these days. I have had much more success on here

can be a difficult one this. I'm in an 80s duo and we generally agree songs we both like, As a singer, it's harder to sing a song I don't like, as it's difficult to get behind it, but I do try. Sometims I even end up liking it. We made this duo a band but the drummer and bass player had zero input at this point. (we knew what songs worked witht the audience) They are very professional and I am honoured to play with them actually. But any new material is now a band decision. It's been a long time since I've done a band from scratch, so picking a set list hasn't been done for a long time. People need to be flexible and if they're not, I would walk away these days, I'm 54 and don't need premadonnas now

I use this site for both of my duos. It is really good and probably great fun for practicing too

yep, twas marvellous

atm, JMJ Mustang is perfect for what I need. 100% happy

why take a big heavy rig if you dont have to I've been markbass club 1x15 for 10 years now, bigger gigs get the 2x10 club too. Nearly always through the PA too Ampeg PF500 and now Ashdown RM500 evo 2. No pedals I recently added an ashdown RM410 evo cab, this is for the new Americana thing I'm doing. Bigger stages, one cab solution, it's 21 Kg and the previous owner put quality casters on it (and it was only 100 quid) When I was in my teens and early 20s I would think nothing of loading in 2 4x12 cabs (I did one gig with 5 once, all for show)

I sold my one, my fretless Ibanez MC940 and my Bravewood Sting replica because I'm done with the tribute thing. They were all amazing basses and I really loved them but it was time to be done with them With them gone I have no desire to do the Sting thing (which is good) but I should have kept them in all honesty, I have many other guitars that don't get used but I have kept them Just keep them mate

It Bites

Just received a Tech21 sansamp thing from Tim. Fantastic service, delivered quickly and beautifully described Full marks for this Sterling Basschatter thanks mate

Crikey, that Tech21 thing. Sweet Jesus, it's amazing I've just plugged it into my office amp (Hartke HA1400 2 x10 combo) AMPEG!!! WOW

I am, see you there should be a blast

My Police tribute played a beach festival in Crete, about 10 years ago We were chilling out at the hotel of a mate who had come with us, got chatting with a slightly OTT Dutch gentleman All of a sudden there was a load of tourists, they entered the pool area (where we were) and all wanted pictures with me. He must have said I was Sting. Quite good fun, if a little odd

i thought I might try one and keep as a back up

I think you've probably nailed it there. 😂
