  1. +1 for the Big Muff - nice bit of distortion. Great for the sort of music I play, and has enough capacity for fiddling to allow some flexibility.

    There are a great many things you could try - change of strings; pick-ups; settings; etc.

    Like Foxen suggested, post some examples and I'm sure we can diagnose between us all :)

  2. No news is good news!

    You'll often find this. People have plenty of comms in the lead-up; then, once they've realised their goal, their interest shifts. They no longer need the comms, and it slips.

    Hopefully this chap will be too busy enjoying his new bass to drop you a line.

    That said, I do personally like to check back in a week or so later, just to say it was all ok and provide some feedback.

  3. Can I be that someone? :)

    I have Wizard PJs in my 1987 ST bass - and will shortly be doing the same for the Platinum. Andy has two flavours - and I recommend the 'big' set for a more bombastic sound.

    Great value for money - and Andy at Wizard is more than happy to answer questions. I'd drop them a line.

    I can't fault them, really. I have some Area 51s in my Ironbird, bought from this forum, and they're certainly something else.

  4. You going to play them at the same time?!

    Nice work though, some very nice basses. They'd be wasted on me for sure.

    This thread is giving me some mighty GAS. Someone buy my T-bird and give me some rack room!

  5. Was that one we had the pics of on bcrichplayers? I thought someone had dug out a BO replica?

    $4500 is step if it's knackered, mind.

  6. I quite fancy the ST that the chappy from Warrant (was it?) had - the one from the ice hockey ad; either that or the yellow Ironbird the lad from Wasp had. Guaranteed to turn some heads!

  7. The Lynott one is lovely; but the Bich's are the cream of Lorne's collection, to my mind. Stunning.

    Something like that would be wasted on a mug like me.

  8. That is a novelty! Both of my Eagles have been through his hands!

    The only one I've looked at recently, other than my £30 Plat, was Greco's Gunslinger. That bass looked lovely!

    If I sign a new contract, I think I'll be due a treat. Think he was looking for $600 - bit easier to sneak past the wife.

    Lorne - I'll look for pics on Sunday. NGD and a hangover? Hope this is the Sei.

  9. The small matter of $3,000 is holding me back, Lorne. Sadly, we're not all paid like City bankers - though Aviva could live up to their brand promise of recognition, and recognise that I'd like to be! :)

    What's the incoming?

  10. sh*t, is your Snakeskin going? I thought you were flogging the Warlock or something!

    I've Lorne's old Custom Shop Eagle, which is absolutely stunning - thread below, if you'd like to see more:

    I've got a few others kicking about, mind - Gold Series Ironbird; 1987 ST; 1984 Eagle... and my new project, out of shot, a Platinum ST which has Wizards installed. Quite the little thrasher that one :)



    Nothing wrong with wanted a BC Rich. The USA and Vintage models are superb, and you'll see some lovely examples on these forums (and a lot more on the likes of BCRichplayers.com). Consequently I've got a shopping list as long as a very long thing, I'm simply missing Lorne's knack for tracking them all down.

  11. Aren't Axlmusic the Chinese lot? Trivia only!

    Sounds like a hoon.

    Tell him you'll offer £400 to secure it immediately, but will need £5 in charges to cover the transfer/whatever by Western Union (the only way you'll do business of course; much like he'll only post).

    The hoaxer might as well buy you a pint, at the very least.

  12. Three months isn't a long period of time, in the grand scheme of things. Though it could well [i]feel[/i] a very long period of time if you're stuck doing little.

    However, I'm bored of the light side of the force getting all the product. I say rage. Turn to the dark side. If nothing else, it will produce drama.
