If only I had a useful superpower 🥴

If I were playing that…spandex wouldn’t be advisable…would be obscene

Ooooohhhhh noooo!!!! Wow. That’s borderline achievable

Possibly ocean turquoise? “OTM”

It’s for Charlie Jones (Goldfrapp) who was my original “ooh see through p!” Hero. This also has an acrylic headstock

And… Fender are at it too https://www.instagram.com/reel/ChuondwqKFZ/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Funilly enough…guess what I was doing 10 years ago today

I’d get a Dean rhapsody (£400 used?) and get a rebody…added wings to headstock…reshape… Sat all day at work thinking “yeah, that’s what I’d do…”

I suppose it’s not absolutely correct, but there was a Hamer XT series 12 string which was Korean and latterly Indonesian - I’m led to believe they’re solid instruments but benefit from pickup2pre upgrade. I have a mate with one, unfortunately he will not part with it - I know because I ask him every 2 weeks.

Came here to say this…

Absolutely - if you could PM me some recommendations that would be ace; I’m just in awe of his solo playing

Pino Palladino - I actively seek out his work Nathan East Leland Sklar Bob Babbitt Tony Levin There are loads. But all of the above make me watch. Steve Lewinson - love his playing Lee Pomeroy I could just list them all, full of admiration - wished I’d pushed harder at my dream of being a session bass player. Managed a couple of low level release things and a bit of TV, but had kids and gave up.

Well. It’s been a while. 1993 Ken Smith Burner Arrived after a lengthy trip from Switzerland 😊 Had one before - really, really lovely.

Had an enjoyable evening with this. Now…to find something to do with it.
