Pea Turgh

The best set of go-faster stripes ever!

Do they put sesame seeds in baby oil?! Jim Dunlop lemon oil, applied in an incredibly lack-lustre fashion, rubbed in with all the enthusiasm of a teenager doing chores.

Dunno. Brown? Looks like I was very uneven with the lemon oil though!

Already did a NBD thread, but what the hell; Squier CV Mustang with a mint scratch plate. Looks way better than tort, I reckons.

Starr by name, star by nature!

Nope - different bloke! The standard Zyns weren’t much cop apparently. Supers is where it’s at! Just bought a Super Zyn ride. Mrs Turgh will not be happy 😬

I was a smidge too late - he’s just sold them!

So this “orphan” drum kit idea has now turned in to more of a “jelly bean” kit, as I bought a white 60’s Olympic kick drum! What with the two blue toms and the red snare, I think it looks quite cool. Now on the hunt for some vintage Super Zyn cymbals to complete it!

Good read, that. Love an origin story!

I’d actually been thinking of re-housing the Fane driver I bought for pimping my practice amp. This is fuelling my desire to get the drill out 😂

Great spot 👍

“Roadworn…. for men”

I had 2x One10s but sold them when I needed dosh. Bought a Two10 then. No peeling issues on any of them. Having had both, I’d probably just have 2x One10s for the modular option (plus it makes such a cool micro stack!)

I like your thinking! But obviously, we’re going to need pictures…

My slightly altered lineup; my black bitsa (currently “for sale”), my new CV Mustang with fresh scratch plate, and my old faithful JV P.

I just noticed a clue on the box…

Ah, man! I’m so gutted I’m missing this! The kids are ill now too, so I’m definitely not coming 😢 Good job I got a new bass to cheer me up though!

Well, it’s certainly getting a lot of attention right now! Would like to try one with JMJ nut width at some point, but yeah - it’s definitely a keeper!

Yeah, it’s lined up perfectly for playing. Made me think of Stingray bridges (or what I’ve read and of Stingray bridges on here 😂)

I So there goes my “I only need two basses” ethos! Bought this from @jezzaboy (who was awesome to deal with BTW), who was I’m guessing the 2nd owner. It looks unused! Proper shiny and no marks on it. There are a couple of manufacturing issues though - the bridge looks marginally off-center, but looking at Google Images, they all look it, so maybe it’s just my eyes! There’s also a finishing flaw where it rests on you knee - no biggy really, but it’s there. I’ve already ordered an aged mint guard from Earlpilanz on eBay. I will probably also pop a @KiOgonloom in at some point. Also need to get it to my excellent local tech Ed Purcell (Instagram @edsintheshed) to get the action nice & low. Its doing what I wanted it to do though - making it easy for me to pick up & noodle during the day! The neck is finished well and is comfortable to play, and the whole thing is tiny! I don’t know what I was expecting, but it’s definitely smaller than I thought it would be 😂 UPDATED PIC WITH NEW SCRATCH PLATE - oh my…

Wowzers - super fast delivery, excellent communication/notification throughout, best packing I’ve ever witnessed! Loving the CV Mustang - thank you @jezzaboy👍👍👍

FFS. Mrs Turgh has symptoms and just booked in for a test tomorrow 😡 If her big girl test comes back clear, would people feel comfortable if I just did a leteral flow test on my self beforehand? Probably not. Damn. Keep the ticket money though, Mike, otherwise you’ll be way out of pocket!
