    Fair enough… maybe a relatively new member not 100% certain on the etiquette of the forum? Why not message and guide them, if you haven’t already? I’m always happy to help via PM if anyone’s not sure on what their bass is worth. just an FYI if anyone’s reading 👍🏼

    His album around this time was on rotation with oldest daughter, not that she’d admit it to her mates… It was passable, decent music. Better than 99.9% of pop at the time

    I sold the bass player a Danelectro. He was/is a bloody lovely fella. And it seems a flubbin great player.

    Good evening… Got this 2 months ago after selling a few basses…i actually set out to buy a 90’s Sheraton and then bought one only to find out I’d been diddled on reverb and had to claw my money back. I’ve been playing lots more guitar recently and I’ve always wanted a Les Paul. So when this came up locally after the Sheraton incident - I jumped at it. But I find i instantly come up with ideas on my Strats and I find them easier to navigate…I’ve tried different strings, tweaks etc - and I was about to spend £220 on a vibramate Bigsby set up - just to realise I’m trying to make a Les Paul a Strat…and that’s not going to happen. So as dull as it seems. I’m going to be sensible and get some money back in the pot. It’s a Gibson USA Standard, 2011 in honeyburst. Its got a couple of marks on it and belonged to a local Luthier before I got it - he sold it as he only likes “Metal” guitars. It’s light - in 2011 the Standards were weight relieved. So it’s a lightweight Les Paul. It had locking Grover’s on it but they looked crap and actually made restrings a faff; I replaced them with Grover kidney beans - a like for like replacement with no modification or change in quality; it now looks loads better. It’s got a great flamed top - can look quite plain, but when the light hits it right; it looks as good as I’ve seen any Les Paul. I added a pickguard as genuinely it suits it and I don’t think Les Pauls look right without. This was a Gibson part, as was the bracket. Both brand new. I disliked the truss Rod cover saying “standard” - replaced with a plain Gibson one (original included) Put a Gibson amber tip on the switch - original included. These came factory fitted with schaller straplocks - I detest these, but will be included. I replaced with Gotoh oversized ones which were bought brand new. The 2011’s had a Neutrik locking socket - and i debated changing it; but never did. If you feel so inclined - a Gibson jack socket panel and Switchcraft USA jack are included… The case has a scuff on the head end tolex. No neck damage or repairs - a scuff on the headstock and a couple of marks on the edge commensurate with age (15 years). Collection preferred in Manchester. Postage at buyers cost/risk - and must insist you get an insured courier - Overland Express cover guitars and are reasonable. I really don’t need or want anything in trade - if you offer something up and I say no, don’t be offended. If I’ve missed anything, let me know - or ask me. Andy x

    PSG in Radcliffe A nice guy - I bought my Les Paul from him. https://www.psgguitars.com/our-work/

    https://on.soundcloud.com/dodnjMxBAi7P8xpfqu Well, it’s been a few months… And I still can’t do the link thing. Anyhow - a little ditty. Not sure why I chose this; think the breakdown in the middle represents the painting part, the higher paced ending, just the freedom of the newly painted cow… That’s about the most tenuous explanation of what it means… Guild Baritone 8 string Fender baritone Strat Gibson Les Paul Gibson Ripper Garageband. “The Life Of A Cow Painter”

    That’s handsome that. I might be wrong, but I recall that colour is “bing cherry transparent” cool name. alas, my wallet says no.
  15. AndyTravis
    Well. Hopefully he’ll do something a bit more notable than recent entries…although I had a soft spot for Sam Ryder’s 2nd place song Spaceman in 2022/3 (can’t remember the year)

    Great ABG’s these, and that’s a great price.
