They all look so young lol

This was really good. Look at Tony’s right thumb during his “solo”…does it look unnaturally skinny and bent? It does to me. He is such a great bassist.

I LOVE Blackmore’s vibrato bar usage and his embracing of flash when he felt so inclined. I was surprised he didn’t use the bar or even have it on his Strat for this last time. He was such a rocker BITD. Love his playing.

The horseshoe crab inlay is badass.

Frank Beard was a killer timekeeper. Both times I saw him with the Top he was flawless. I mean totally perfect. He was always underrated and I am glad BFG gave him the props he did. RIP. BFG should just hang up the ZZ banner now and return to touring as Billy Gibbons solo with his BFGs. It is not ZZ Top without Frank and Dusty.

My 2Tek is the only bass I’ll ever need. These both appear to be beautiful examples.

Jazzburst is best!

@velorush nailed it! Beware of the Dog!

I played this same RR50 and 100% concur with Travis’s assessment. I recorded a track with it for an upcoming album and it sounded like, well, a plexi. No pedals needed. Buy from bubs and get yer 70s on!

I got the same email. My hatred for AI in the arts grows daily.

He cannot play his Smoke solo anymore….as a huge DP fan of the Ritchie era, this saddens me. Ian Gillian din’t sound good either and he got lost in the song at one point. Glad they buried the hatchet on a personal level, but the performance was hard to watch. I’ll listen to Made in Japan or Perfect Strangers tonight..,and all will be well.

Yup early Skynyrd was plexis and Ed would use a Twin to carve out different sonic space from Allen & Gary with his Strat. Live they were hardcore Peavey guys. Gary honestly loved them.

I like the namesake song for the pickups!

The cable is fine. Super deal on super strings.

So did you keep it or send it back? I am a little confused and I promise I haven’t been drinking today..,though there is still time!

Bought 6 sets and 2 cables for 40 bucks. I love these strings and this is a great deal.

Where’d I park again???

The 200# is amazing.

All nice guitars!

I believe it may have been a custom order cause the wiring looks original. The first I noticed sonically was that the pickups were unpotted and beautifully bright. Sure enough, Seth’s.

A Tally Pro was your FIRST Hamer? That is setting the bar quite high! Enjoy the SS!

My recently-acquired Monaco Monaco has SD Seth Lovers which are a low wind and they sound fab in this guitar. I usually change out stock pickups, but not this time. The guitar is bright, articulate, and very sweet sounding. I say go for it. I think the spruce top benefits from a lower output pickup. My Newport did as well.

This was the first thing I thought of when I heard he passed…

The OD11 is close to being as good as my Timmy V3 …albeit being a bit less versatile. I still have several LPs and only ever had to send one back with problems…but others have not been as fortunate. The dude has a great ear, though.

Now the Joker Boost is entirely different. It is on one side of the 200# of Gold. I missed that slightly hairy boost so much I bought a 200# of Gold again just for the boost. It just adds this tiny bit of hair to the tone that I really dig.
