I love me some BFG, but damn, Frank Beard’s left hand playing the grooviest double shuffle for nearly every second, whew!

Interesting! What preamp and power tubes?

Good for them. Hate the Game, not the Player. Gene and Paul have always needed each other for a lot of reasons. If I recall correctly, when Gene put up the very first ad looking for bandmates he stipulated members who “wanted to be rock stars” regardless of ability or talent. I def don’t knock the hustle- he never wanted to be Jaco to begin with 😂

Thank you! Do you know if there is some distinction between “Pro” and “Professional” in that particular year range (90-91)? The baffling rabbit hole of FB groups has yielded some comments that seem to combine rather than exchange these terms; ie “They were all Pro models in the Professional series”. I’m like Naomi Waaaaaaaaaaat

Right? I feel spoiled that the Hamer serials are so easy compared to this crap haha And it’s a lovely instrument… for some other guy lol 😆 And- Please take anything I say as playful banter, I apologize if what I write comes across like a douche; no bad blood whatsoever 😊

Thanks Dave, (and others) Where did you find these references? Can you lmk where I can dig further? Jackson is no help, Ed Roman seems to have some lists (lol), FB groups are no help so far.

All info appreciated, the lists from Jackson/Google, lookup sites are not helpful As previously stated, it is COMPLETE with EMG pickups, electronics, tuners, knobs, bridge and hardware. (BizProf: You’re a husk-with-hardware lol)

Howdy folks! Looking to sell an early 90s Jackson Soloist. Complete with Emg pickups, Schaller locking trem, neck thru, bound neck. Bridge, tuners and hardware included also. (ETA: Seems to be 1990 MIJ Professional, will update as details become available.) Originally red, finish removed before it came to me. I’m not a shred guy. Got it in part of a trade 25or so years ago and it has sat in a case since. Would be great for someone who had one or lusted after one and always wanted one with their choice of finish. Id be happy to recommend a few great guys in different parts of the country. Looking to move at $1000 Shipped, so that via Venmo/PPG and your late 80s/early 90s shred dreams can come true again! Email is [email protected] thanks!

Right On, Does the import case fit a US standard?

Wow! That’s an amazing guitar. Somebody got a Terrific deal! Awesome!

That is a terrific way to get into a Duotone Custom. I’d hit it.

Wow, staggering…

If your tracks are triggering changes; Have you thought about using MainStage or plugins entirely? Why have guitar processed and controlled independently, or by relay? (I think it’s an interesting way that you’ve been doing stuff, and I think it’s awesome that you guys keep making cool stuff. Keep doin it! 😁)

Still listed at 850! Somebody snag this!

I love this discussion! Music is seldom heard only with the ears. Nobody pays to see their next door neighbor on stage. For the vast majority of humans that make any kind of music it’s a nostalgia/fantasy recycler; precision and practice are absolutely NOT the point and that’s okay. I totally love the dichotomy in my own motivations from a Beavis-and-Butthead place of stupidity and hedonism in one way, a compulsive need to study and practice and refine in another, and also just trying to get to place of living inside one note in one moment at a time… Its a crazy world out there. Right now some guy is carefully practicing his songs of devotion to share with a flock on a holy day, and another guy is in a basement somewhere channeling Ace Frehley and Buffalo Bill to assuage his fears of homosexuals, and sees no irony. I don’t think anyone anywhere is ever totally right. Keep on Rockin in the Free World 🤘🤣

I love Dave Bickler! Known him for years, he still sings at the church I grew up going to. Very nice guy, and while he still has a crazy strong voice, his pitch and ears were always superb. 👍😁

That’s a great deal for someone!

Duuuuude! I bought the mls900 when it was posted as a SDOD a while back and LOVE it! I wish I bought two, it’s so good! Did I really miss another chance…?

Intriguing! Linx?

That is freakin awesome! And I think we should adopt it as HFC standard procedure lol. I read on Jennifer Batten’s FB that she had a guitar and/or pedalboard lost by an airline somewhere internationally, who were unsurprisingly useless, and the AirTag was the only saving grace that actually got it back.

YASSSS!!! That’s really awesome dude! Very glad it found a happy home in the HFC 🤘😎
