I'll add some pics of my John Birch to the forum soon. I have some from my new band's photoshoot, currently waiting to get the pics back

Saturday evening? Coming in after a few pints and over egging the cake... perhaps?

Nice John Birch that, very Lemmy! Can tell you for a fact that it's been stripped of the original finish due to the lack of headstock logo, also the knobs have been changed along with the truss rod cover. If anybodies tempted don't hesitate! Best bass I've ever owned, fact.

First Bass: Epiphone Les Paul Special Go To Bass: Rickenbacker 4003 Signature Bass: 1973 John Birch Rickenbacker Style

Bought a Yamaha Octaver from Dan, the whole thing was smoother than Barry White at a dating agency!

Bought a pedalboard from Sean. Great condition (practically as new) and great price! Top fella

Quick update: Marco Mendoza is now supporting the cause along with Ginger Wildhearts. We got a plug on BBC Radio Wales last night and I'm being interviewed live on the air next Friday at 7:20pm I can't believe the response!

[quote name='dangerboy' post='698083' date='Jan 1 2010, 04:29 PM']It's a pity that they didn't put an aluminium neck on it too. I love my all-aluminium hollowbody.

There's a pair of rails running through the body. Infact have a look at this video, it explains it far better than I can. I've not tried the bass but I bought a six string with a one off copper relic finish sight unseen, I'll never regret it cos it's absolutely beautiful in every way.

As Bachman Turner Overdrive said... you ain't seen NOTHING yet. Check this bad boy out - the Normandy archtop bass. Yes... that's Aluminium - chromed. Handmade in Oregen in the US, I'm lucky enough to own the guitar version in a different finish (a one off unpolished copper relic version) Craftmanship is second to none on them, really beautiful instruments!

Love the shape of the Les Paul bass (down to me starting life out as a guitarist who loves Les Pauls) My first bass is an Epiphone Les Paul bass. Balances very nicely, plays superbly, the aesthetics are a little underwhelming to some but I remedied it with some leopard print fur stuck to the front As mentioned the pickups quite frankly are absolute rubbish... luckily at the time I was playing through a Trace so I could get over that. Very reliable basses mind, I absolutely abused mine - throwing it about and generally being a heavy handed clot! It's still solid as a rock and I could never part with it I've never tried a Gibson version but I know a friend of mine has one and I've heard it... does sound rather lovely sort of a cross between a Thunderbird and an EB3. They look stunning, especially the ones with the selector switch! I remember a few years back lusting over a white copy, a Greco I think - exactly like the Gibson switch version but in the Les Paul Custom colours. Stunning! Definitely consider an Epi though, if you can change the pickups you're onto a winner for sure.
