I had to look it up, I thought it was poor grammer and should have read a great pair of tits, but those actually are great tits :o

A little late to the party here. I was never one to actively hunt autographs, but as a youngster I managed to acquire The Ramones (except for Joey, who acted like a massive douche), Uriah Heep (the Lawton/Bolder variety), Michael Schenker, Joe Lynn Turner, Sandy West, Rick Derringer, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, Paul Shaffer... and Tony Randall. An eclectic lot!

We get quite a variety of tits competing with the squirrels for their food: great tits and blue tits are regulars, and occasionally we get coal tits and long-tail tits...
Have also seen marsh tits, as well as the very elusive bearded tits and crested tits...

What sort of tits do you get in the USofA...?

Not to mention Knickerless Nickleby and Olsen's Standard Book of British Birds -- the expurgated version.   :mrgreen:

One of my Les Paul Signature Basses came with Les Paul's signature scratched into the pickguard...in addition to Les' actual signature he did on all the inside labels on them.

I had a Hamer signed by a Def Lepp guy that I removed. Also had another Hamer Chap 5 signed by all five Def Lepp guys with the photo of them signing it...traded it for a rare Hamer doubleneck bass.

I generally do not like signatures scrawled on instruments. I DO have several that have the endorser name over the logo that was done at the factory.

...and I HATE the trend of sellers getting "stars" to sign piles of low-end POS axes to boost the re-sale value, especially brands/models that they never even played.

Or even high end gear that they didn't play. Like the seller who was trying to get $800K for his Martin D-35 that he got Paul McCartney to sign.

I think the only musician signed gear that might interest me might be something signed by a dead "legend," like Les Paul, Entwistle, Buddy Holly, Louis Armstrong, Gram Parsons, etc....or a drum signed by the Def Lepp drummer using his hand/arm he later lost.

That might interest me if it was something they actually played.

So managed to capture an interesting moment - took my bass I got signed to Alembic to have a bit of work done on it. They always have a bunch of instruments hanging out in the lobby - noticed a nice small body bass lying on the couch - took a while before realizing it was Stanley Clarke's bass that he used at the show I saw! We got a nice little tour of what they have in the works - I've known Mica for a while now just from talking to her at Alembic gatherings - and fortunately before we left I had the presence of mind to ask if I could take a few pictures of my bass next to Stanley's - this is the best one:



They are waiting for the new bridge and nut - he went to his tenor tuning (ADGC) on this bass - that's why he couldn't use it at the show I saw, at least one of the strings was jumping out of the saddle.
