Meant to post this earlier but forgot... A while ago I joined a newly-formed Eagles tribute with a lovely, talented bunch of lads. Months of rehearsals and a handful of gigs later, we're really starting to settle in to it. Here's a couple of clips from a gig in my home village the other weekend. Gear-wise, it's the usual for me. Handbox R-400, TKS 212 cab.... and the Maruszczyk Jake PJ to cover Randy's P tone in the early days, and Tim's Jazz tone from the Kong Run era. Eventually I'll probably switch between an actual P and J. I'm new to this IEM lark, and I'm still getting used to it. We have lots of refining to do. We don't run a silent stage, 'cos we like amps. 🙂

A product of its time, I think.

On which one?

Interesting bit of trivia about that song - it has no rhymes in it.

That cover is by Yes.

^^^ I rest my case

The problem with the cover is not just that it isn’t very good - it’s actually embarrassing and will probably put people off. And - in the voice of Liz Truss - that’s a shame.

I highly doubt any marketing committee are this inept. This screams 'Homemade by Jon's daughter'... which it is.

That cover, though 🤮

I like this. The only thing that makes my teeth itch is that it looks like there is a black plastic truss access point at the headlock like the MIMs, etc. It cheapens the look of it slightly (IMO of course).

Yep, I've got a 'burst Okamoto. Very nice bass. The basswood body is a non-issue. It might as well be alder.

My amp's probably done c.200 gigs since the post above, and it hasn't skipped a beat. I don't expect to have to replace them any time soon.

It’s been advertised locally quite a lot. It looks like a beauty.

Sun-bleached.

Fab… get it on YouTube!

No access, JP...?

Sounds great… nice one.

New to all this. Just looked JL up on Facebook. Made a mental note never to give him a penny, or even engage him in conversation.

My ACS just pop in. The trick is to screw ‘em in, not push.

ACS Pro 17.

Based on what we can see, it looks legit... and a bargain. I also agree that it looks more 1981-ish.

Well, it’s only the nitro that’s distressed. 50+ years of tab smoke, temperature changes, sweaty venues and scuffs will do that.

I have temporary custody of a pal's '63. As far as he's aware, it's never been taken apart It plays beautifully.

Get in!
