I know I said I was going to send this to you - so if anyone in the NE wants to try it I can send to Paul

might be a g3, but just trying to justify it.

 

Im playing the ripper a lot recently, so its the same feel with a different sound.

 

I’ll entertain offers on this 51 though…the Yamaha has sold and I’ve had 2 messages about the Danelectro so I’m hoping I can make space in the rack.

 

Id love to live in a world where I could keep them all…but I’d need a spare house.

The G3's are hard to come by at the right price, just loving my Ripper I got early this year

Yeah - the 51 is ace, but I’m trying to make space, builders start in September 🤩

This will be heading off to the vintage bass room in the next few days as I’m away for most of August.
