So excited to put it together I didn’t correctly align the old head’s branding.

Thanks to a hot tip from @kingforaday, I should have a matching 16” floor tom at some point soon. Only the kick to go now! In the mean time, a mate gave me a 60’s wooden snare in red silk wrap. Needed a new reso head and some tension rods, but it’s all together and sounding pretty “phat”, for the grand total of a little over £20!

Does JMJ’s original have that “feature”, though?

I agree - I prefer the go-faster stripe continuity!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I read the comments first, then went for a look. I actually don’t think it’s that bad!! No way worth that much though - £1k maybe, but I’m clueless on the value of the original bits left on it.

Like Welsh? Or something more exotic?

Hey, pigeons! Want a cat? What about Matt black or mint white?

I’ll play! A little similar to the above, but full walnut Jag body (stealth-chambered if that would make it too heavy), black anodised aluminum pickguard with chrome bell (symmetrical like on a Jazz) control plate. Neck would be precision width with tele headstock, roasted flame maple with roasty fretboard. No face dots, them blue luminays on the top edge. Lollipop lightweight tuners (chrome). Hipshot vintage bridge (chrome). Hmm, pickups would be some sort of Musicman style affair. Passive for simplicity.

Classy!

I bought the single tom from him - well happy with the seller. Curse you, agreement-made-for-the-sake-of-marital-bliss!!

I know! I’ve got alerts on and checking it fanatically! It’s a beaut - mahogany shells, new heads, the works. Unfortunately I’ve had to agree to not buy anything else until the studio is finished 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I liked it before, but that balances it so well. Hats off to you, Sir!

@Baxlin - that is such a great photo! I want to know more about the band now!

That’s a stunner of a kit!

Bought a 70’s Olympic steel snare. Really hoping it’s the chromed brass version (eBay seller wasn’t a drummer). That would be awesome, as I paid under £40 for it 🤞🏻

I bought a One10, then another one because it was tweed and looked cool. Only sold them because of money issues. Bought a Two10 when I had cash. I liked the modularity of two One10s, and they made a cute micro stack! Cant see me buying another cab out of need, will probably buy another cab just because I like them and my own personal expression of our consumerist conditioning (egged on by Basschat).

I’ve wanted one of these kits for a few years, but funds never allowed when I saw them crop up. Going to try to obtain a whole kit in instalments 🤣 So far I have snagged a high tom, got my eye on a snare. Anyone got a floor tom or kick drum in this finish?! Or even a whole kit?

Found it - you’ve been busy!! Love the track names too 👌🏻

Link!

Saw Kid Carpet perform in a pub in Brizzle yonks ago - what a star!!! He had an MPC and a toy guitar! Also bought an SK5 in a boot sale for about £5 in 2010 ish. Stupidly sold it a few months later (along with an MT68 I bought for £3 in a charity shop) but sold it for 5 times what I bought it for, so there we go. Didnt know there was an app version of the SK5 though - off to check that out...

I really like the grain in the neck. If it doesn’t weigh a ton and the neck is playable, pop in a Ki0gon loom & Tonerider pups, sorted!

I reckon they wrapped the body in gaffa tape to protect the finish. Oh, wait....

What about just adding a powered USB hub? I use a Scarlett 2i2 with an iPhone. Popping the Scarlett in to the powered USB, then from there in to my phone. Might work?

I had a B120 head in the 90’s but found it lacking. Unfortunately my young uneducated self didn’t understand the weak link was the Crate cab it was paired with.
