I prefer Mule to JB because Mule is more of a band, whereas everyone on stage with JB is there to back him up. JB's keyboard player was very good, mind you, and he got a lot of solos, but at the end of the day it's JB's show. Whereas Mule sounds like more of a cohesive band. Here's each performers' set list from that night (sadly, Ron Holloway's solo was off by half a step, he's in pretty bad shape physically): Mule: Hammer and Nails (Staple Singers cover) Rocking Horse Wake Up Dead Banks of the Deep End Game Face > Mountain Jam > Game Face I Asked for Water (She Gave Me Gasoline) (Howlin' Wolf cover, with Whip It tease) Painted Silver Light (with Josh Smith on guitar) Revolution Come, Revolution Go Key to the Highway (Charles Segar cover, with Joe Bonamassa on guitar) Soulshine (The Allman Brothers Band cover, with Ron Holloway on sax) Bonamassa: Breakthrough Trigger Finger Twenty‐Four Hour Blues (Bobby “Blue” Bland cover) Mainline Florida (Eric Clapton cover) I Fall Apart (Rory Gallagher cover) Drive by the Exit Sign If Heartaches Were Nickels (with Warren Haynes) Last Kiss Well, Well (Delaney & Bonnie cover) Stratus (Billy Cobham cover, with Warren Haynes) A Million Miles Away (Rory Gallagher cover)

I've decided that it's finally time to downsize. Starting with my Les Paul Custom. It's in excellent condition, all original, fully functional and unmolested. Everything it shipped with from the factory is included. I added Dunlop strap butttons and Faber locking bridge posts (original parts are included). Weight: 8.5 lbs, which is unusually light for one of these if that's appealing to you. Not weight relieved. Nice thick '57 profile neck: 0.95" @ 1st fret, 1.06" at 12th. The only funkiness is a few very small indentations in the clear coat behind the bridge. Possibly from a braclet or watch, but there are no scratches, just pinprick sized dents. Difficult to get a clear photo, but I'll try if this is a concern. Recently sold prices on Reverb range from $4,200 - over $5,000. I'd like to avoid the fees and scam risk associated with Reverb, so I'm asking $3,700 plus $150 shipping. Add 3% for PayPal (or $0 for F&F)

I sent it back.Only reason for post was to inform club members of condition in cace anyone was looking at it,

Where are you located?.. I'll keep an eye out 👁

V is cool, but it’s probably an even rarer bird to find. So realistically speaking, Explorer shape Scepter

I think it’s possible to get approximate dimensions from photos.

Since I haven't met you, can't render an opinion. My question - do they all get played? If not, I'll help.

Are you looking for a Scepter V or Standard/Explorer shape type?

You still need one for a luthier to copy. Just wait. A Scepter will pop up.

Does anyone know how many Scepters were made? I’d like to get one, but they almost never pop up. If only about 50 of them were made, the chance of getting one in good shape for a reasonable price seems close to zero. Maybe I should just order a replica from a luthier.

Richie looks bored.

Since we're celebrating Ultimate tops, this 2004 in Brown Sugar found a new home this week. Someone scored a gem a few days ago, and I hope it was an HFCer! Custom Order Studio Custom with Ultimate flame on Korina (!), ebony board, an extra Victory and headstock binding. Sold for $2300 at a shop in NC before I could post a PSA. Who got it? I wanna call dibs!

Do it ❤️

Given Blackmore's legendary ego, I think it's awesome he got up there. He seemed to be quite aware that he wasn't going to blow anyone away. Good on him to give Ian GIllan a call and just getting up there, and good on Ian for making it happen. I'm not even a huge Deep Purple fan, but they are one of the Big Three of heavy music to me. That's a helluva legacy. I guess what I'm saying is that most of us picked up an instrument joined an ensemble of some type because it's fun to make a thing with friends, especially when it turns out that thing is really good. Good reminder that most of the "bullshit" that gets between us over the years really isn't all that important in most cases and that it's kind of dumb going to grave never trying to get a little bit of that original joy back if it's just a phone call away. And I think one of the benefits of being our age on this board is that we can watch that and get it, whereas when I was 20, I probably wouldn't have. Now I should probably go give my Mom a phone call, haha.

And don’t give ne the Knights of Ni-joke… 😎

"Odd" is one word for it. I can think of a few others.

Alright, alright.... let's not get hasty here.

And, upon my death, you'll get the Baker back. That doesn't erase my "dickness" in your eyes? I can change the will...

Like it and yeah, guard is odd, isnt it

R-Type at Dave's. I used to own this one and it's badass. Great player, lightweight. If you can stand the ill-fitting pickguard, it's worth the money.

Maybe this is closer to what you were thinking.

Getting closer....

Can confirm. He bought all of my guitars without haggling or asking any questions, and then he KEPT them!
