BCR Greg

Mine is a 97, #72 of the original 72 made. It KILLS. With the black guard and plate that I made.... As it looks now, sporting the tort bits and Rios. Bad ass deluxe.

Mine has a HUGE bottom. Kinda like Jlo, really nice everywhere and some extra junk in the trunk.

The summer NAMM show is not a really attractive show for dealers like myself. Few new products are introduced and the Nashville location was cramped, leading to reduced presences by the manufacturers. I didn't bother with Indy, but I will probably hit Austin since I have friends there and the night life will prop up a wak show. Gibson doesn't need the NAMM show anymore, and they feel slighted by the move from Nashville.

Porn IS art, when done correctly. Now, let's have a group hug and then go beat up on Poe.

Love is everywhere. (Beat ya, Butch!)

I just want to JAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!

DI just hear Hectorp's voice? He's STILL ALIVE!!!! Politics are not entertainment, music is. MY FUCKING OPINION, ACCEPT IT.

2 Large, one black, one purple.

Racks cause penile disfunction.

Bob P knows about CAD, trust me. He was THE GUY on the original BCR Junior run. He knows more about guitar CAD than anyone.

Here it comes..... Nightranger live is a hell of a departure from the sappy AOR ballad crap. THEY KICK ASS, and display a level of musicianship that can not be denied. Kilroy, you booger. Uncle Greg posts.

Damn, Scooter, you put that triple ring to good use! Bring that to the HFC, I wanna play it!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAAAA! Jim is PhantomGT, named after his favorite guitar. The A5 was to be a backup for his GT, since we haven't been able to find another one in a while. Phantom12? Maybe YOU can be Phantom12 , Doc!

PhantomGT is the owner, Andrew. He has a GT, and this was supposed to help as a backup. He needs another GT.

PhantomGT has one in my shop for $550. It's got the rare Sustain Block trem(no wrenches!) and is in fine shape.

Anyone that wants to cover the costs of my book, I am available for a meeting....

What, this POS?

You lurk seriously?

Well, our buddy Dry needed more roundness and less brittleness from his B12m. Having converted the "Not Chris" bass to Rio Grande Pittbulls, I knew that we could give Jim what he wanted. What follows is a photographing essay on the repair. As usual, I have to say DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. I do this for a living, and certain things that are easy for me may be critically damaging to your instrument if you are not sure of what you are doing. Anyway, Before... The emptied cavity... The front before. Notice the tiny pot holes(easy, MC Chris) from the mini EMG controls.. EMG does not use a string ground( Grounding the strings allows your body to shield the instrument from radio noise and the like, EMG doesn't feel that it's needed) so we need to put one in. I choose to use the bridge stud insert as the grounding point of choice. Drilling a hole into the bass is a ONE TIME affair, so I need to do it RIGHT and move on. I used to use a popsicle stick to protect the side of the hole as I drilled, but for Jimbo I put on the thinking cap, downed some java and came up with this... Which does this... Maintaining a constant angle and locating the bit side to side, minimising damage and making me look even more like the genius that I am...LOL Now we run some solid wire from the now hole to the cavity. To keep from buggering the wire, I chamfer the edge of the insert a little to allow it to gently but firmly make contact without cutting... Now the control holes are enlarged for our GENUWINE Hamer pots... The Rios are a little deeper, so I need to deepen the pickup routes... Much more to come, but alas I am tired and off to the rack I go.

Since Plooker and Lisa can't post right now from a military base...

Anything's possibule....

Not that I am aware of. I would have been cool. *sniff sniff* Do I smell a Custom Order in the works? Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Actually, guys and gals, Ted wears THESE.... At least, he did the night that he left them in my hotel room.

Been known to drop Rio Gandes in a few guitars, peppered with the occasional Voodoo Gregwind..........
