Friday again!
What a week, or two!!
My Red T-40 "Old Red" found a new home and these are
some of the pics - just thought they were so nice, I would
share them.
I've had some great e.mails recently, including someone who has
found a Gordy "Fretless" - boy, that must be rare!!
Part of the content was about the electronics, so I took a couple
of shots for illustration.
A bit more complicated than a Fender Jazz!!!
While we are on the subject of Fender Jazz. . . . . . . .
A friend of mine has had one from new and over the years, the
neck pick-up has got worse.
It's a long story but basically, the decision was to go for a set
of Wizard "Sixty Fours".
In a word, Brilliant! Sounds superb, he is very pleased with the result.
I also had an e.mail from a Beatles fan, in MD USA, who loved
the Greco PMB. Hi - Nice to hear from you. :)
Will try those strings!!
By nature, collectors. . . . . collect things and at some point there
has to a bit of a change/clear-out and Spring seems like a good
time to do it.
A few have found new homes and there are a few more that will
be moving on but in doing that, I am able to put my efforts into
finding some of the ones I have not had. . . . . . Yet!!
I have been quite busy with various things, so this is just a small
post for today - I was going to do my Magnum III but I picked
up the wrong memory stick!! Will do that one next week.
And finally. . . . . . .
I have been a life-long fan of Peter Frampton and this week I
managed to see him live, at a wonderful venue - The Assembly
in Leamington Spa - a truly magical night, loved it to bits!
He played exactly what the audience wanted, backed by
a terrific band, including Stanley Sheldon, who was on the
live album.
Peter's appearance may have changed over the years but he
still has that magic as a musician, player and entertainer.
An absolutely brilliant night.
Back next week, as I said - Magnum III.
Cheers. :)
- Ones That Have Gone. . . . . .
Well, it's been some time since I was last here and as this is my 150th post about my collection. . . . . Something different! This is going to be about some of the ones that have gone. I know I said I would do the Telecaster but the...

Yes, I know I said I would do another Jazz but I have struggled to find any pics of it the one that has all the covers on and the other Japan '62, I now remember, I have done before - this one! http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.com/2010/10/fender-jazz-62-and-boys-at-work.html...
- A Picture Tells A Thousand Words. . . .
Time for a bit of a cheat, today! Left my memory stick somewhere safe, with some more of the collection, so not to hand at the moment - no pics!! In the meantime, the link I put up a few posts ago, comes up with these results, which I thought would brighten...

I have a Yamaha RBX 270FL, which I haven't done yet. I bought it new - Yes I know, not something you hear fromme very often but I was in a city centre and saw a music shop.Like most of them these days, it is now closed down! I wandered in to see what...
