I was going to come to this one a bit later on but things moved on
Back next time with the "Unusual" thing I was going to do!
- Peavey Zodiac. . . . . .
Peavey Zodiac! Body, neck, two pick-ups, tuners and strings etc. . . . A neat package - just a nice bass. These are great basses to play. This one was my "Fireside Bass" for at least 6 months. "Fireside" because as well as having a great sound plugged...
- Peavey T-40 "red", Gordy, '72 Jazz, Greco Fan, Spring Clear-out And Peter Frampton. . .
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"...
- Ibanez 2459b Destroyer And A Greco "rickenfaker". . . . .
Hi to all out there - Back to the Collection. First of all, I would like to welcome "Stefano" as one of my "Watchers". On average, I get around 35 visitors a day, with a peak of over 180 a day during some of the Peter Cook articles. It's always...
- Hohner G3t, Going Headless. . . . .
Going headless for the very first time was a strange experience, very much like the first time I ever used Cruise Control in a car, an odd feeling. The daddy of most of these things is obviously the Steinberger, which is a top end quality instrument,...
- Plug It In And Crank It Up . . . . .
I thought that I would come back to amplification today. I came across these pics whilst trying to organise others to be included in the blog - I still have a lot of images to take and prepare, so I may wander off the path now and then. As well as having...

Speedster "Travels" a long way. . . . . .
Well, bit bleary eyed today - lunchtime and I've been up for nearly
9 hrs, already! Yawn!
I was going to come to this one a bit later on but things moved on
a bit quicker than I thought and as I am typing this, the Speedster
has probably already travelled about 1700 miles!!
It will be spending the next six months, sailing around the Caribbean
on the worlds largest cruise liner, so by the time it gets back, it will
be a Well travelled. . . . . Traveller!
It has gone with an MP3 Tascam and a small lead, in a suitcase!
I only got to play with for about half an hour but in that time I had a
lot of fun, with what is a serious instrument and not a toy.
lot of fun, with what is a serious instrument and not a toy.
Some great design features and to be honest, would be good enough
to gig, if you wanted to travel light.
The pic is from the net, as I didn't have time to get a shot of it but as
it is a "Travel Guitar", I'll see if I can get some shots sent to me, on
it's travels around the Caribbean seas!
Have a look at this - wouldn't love to spend a couple of weeks on board?

Back to dear old Blighty!!
Took my Greco Rickenbacker, often referred to as "Rickenfaker", to
rehearsals, last night, after having a string change.
What a difference it made!!
It was quite bright and punchy before but a new set of Picato strings
has brought out it's true character - both pick-ups on, front one backed
off, just a little, tones full up - Mmm, Nice!
I haven't got any photos of it but will try and get some sorted, as it is
a great looker as well as being a great player.
For my final comment - my live feed widget thing seems to be indicating
that there are several searches for "Ibanez Studio SB70".
I guess there may be one of for sale, somewhere.
Well to all those who might be interested in one, if you get it, I'm sure you
won't be disappointed - mine is, ermm, "Well used" but is still a cracker.
Go on, have a go - you know you want to. :)
