    Dave Mirra RIP

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I know that most of you probably have never heard of Dave Mirra, but he was a top BMXer:

    Having received my first bike when I was 5, and having spent most of my childhood and teenage years (and even early adulthood) riding bikes, it was with sadness that I´ve just heard that Dave commited suicide....


    RIP

    Sorry, but I needed a place to share my sadness ....

    PS What the hell is going on!!!???!?!?!?...

    RIP Lemmy

    Just heard this story the past weekend, and I thought I should share it with you.

    A really good friend of mine, who also happens to be a bass player, went to see Motorhead back in the late 80´s, when they came to play in Portugal (Cascais) - it was his first metal show, so he and his friends (who were all in his mid-teens) made all the proper arrangements, to make sure that nothing was forgotten - food, water, someone to take them to the gig, etc.

    The show was a blast and everything went well until the end of the show, when they realized that they had forgot to arrange with their parents, the trip back home... Mind you that this was way before mobiles and all that stuff, and none of them had drivers license...

    There they were, these 16/17 years old kids, stranded outside the venue with no way to get back.

    The crowd soon disbanded, and eventually the only ones left were my friend and his friends - along came Motorhead leaving the venue - they were happy to see all these young kids, and gave them their autographs and moved on to the tourbus - except Lemmy!
    He stayed behind and talked a little bit more with my friend and the other kids - Lemmy found it amusing that they were all young but already were giving their first steps in music. Eventually my friend told him that they were stuck at the venue, as everybody forgot to get someone to pick them up...

    Lemmy, being the nice guy that we all have heard about, offered them a ride on their tourbus!

    Unfortunatelly, the tourbus was going to Lisbon, and all of them lived in the opposite direction - still, they could have taken a ride and, when in Lisbon , just catch a train back home...

    But they politely refused.

    Lemmy entred the bus and all these kids, included my friend, couldn´t believe how lucky they were (even if they outside in the cold),
    Eventually someone went to a phone booth (remember those :) ) , and called home.


    That´s it - another one nice deed by Mr. Lemmy :)

    RIP

    [size=5][b][u]Hello[/u][/b][/size]



    [size=5]I ´ve put this together a couple of years ago, but I got no use for it anymore, so here it goes:[/size]


    [size=5][b]Fender American Standard Stratocaster body [/b][/size]

    [size=5][b]Fender Highway One Stratocaster neck[/b][/size]

    [size=5][b]1980 Fender USA Pickups with TBX control [/b][/size]

    [size=5][b]Made in USA[/b][/size]

    [size=5][b]The color is Mistic Red or Midnight Wine - can tell which is which as they are very similar [/b][/size]


    [size=5]The body comes from an mid-2000 American Standard Stratocaster the neck from a 2008 Fender Highway One.[/size]

    [size=5]Original 016730 plastic bobbin pickups with a normal wound bridge (blue neg lead), cts pots and TBX control - everything original.[/size]

    [size=5]The guitar has marks on the body the show bare wood, but no marks on the neck - the previous owner wanted to give it a relic look.....[/size]

    [size=5]The neck is straight, but the frets have fret marks caused from normal playing, so depending on the player, it may need a fret dressing.[/size]


    [size=5]Apart from the marks on the body, the previous owner tried (unsuccesfully) put a 6 bolt bridge from a normal strat (so under the tremolo you have more holes).[/size]

    [size=5]Still, this is a great strat 100% made in America without any issues (apart from the aesthetics ones mentiones above), that don´t compromise the guitar´s playability![/size]


    [size=5]I´ve tried to capture all of the things mentiones above, but feel free to ask for more pics or make any questions! Also, feel free to make any offers. [/size]

    [size=5]The guitar will go with a Fender gig bag and a Fender Strap.[/size]

    [size=5]The tremolo lever fits, but I think it´s from a Mexican strat.[/size]








    [size=5][b]The guitar will be very well packed inside a proper[/b][/size]

    Really, what attitude would that be? In all the interviews I've read and seen women speak of him as a perfect gent. There's a nice one in the last film, a female bass player is talking about Lem. Her name escapes me, but maybe I can locate it on the net.

    Not a fan of the music, but I had (and still have) a lot of respect for him- (actually, on Sunday - the day he passed away - I was recommending "Lemmy" to a friend of mine, totally oblivious that soon he would leave this place...)

    He came through as a true rocker and a trully honest person about his life and what he did in music ... I´m sure that there aren´t many like him around...

    RIP Lemmy.

    PS. To those of you who haven´t seen it, I recommend the 2010 documentary called "Lemmy" -
