It could be fun to have a Pope Beer I.

I was really hoping he'd choose Pope Pizzaballa I.

And of course.

Loudon is great.  I've gotten to meet him and he's a really nice guy. My wife and I went to his brother Andy's wedding.  It was quite the event in this small church on Shelter Island in NY.  Small private concert with all the Wainwrights and Roches singing.  Andy seems to be the only one in the family with no musical talent.

I bet plenty of lots of pickup makers make MM style ones in passive.

Quote from: uwe on April 29, 2025, 08:30:41 AMBelieve it or not, Elton actually likes dark and heavy music. He's a fan of these guys here:

And if you ever saw him live: The Elton John Band and him hammering the keyboards could actually rock out, he's a very forceful player.

The HU are great.  We saw them open for Iron Maiden in Nov.

Very nice!  I did enjoy briefly the one someone has in our practice space, and it's even lefty.  If you don't find a happy place with the tone, I guess that's a standard MM pickup?

What a quirky guy.  David shook my hand once, out of appreciation, because I'd traveled from NYC up to Boston, in a heavy snow storm, just to see RFTT.  It was worth it.

David Thomas, Pere Ubu's defiantly original leader, dies at 71

Oh no!  I really love the Rocket from the Tombs stuff.  I saw a bunch of the reunion shows.

I like it.  And funny thing is that the snake he's wearing is a boa constrictor.  Not poisonous, and quite docile.  But of course a boa is totally on-brand for Alice, being on the covers of both Killer and Constrictor.

Quote from: morrow on April 23, 2025, 10:45:44 AMHoowee ... I was going through marketplace recently and came across an ad that was about six months old , for an original Dan Armstrong for only $450. I immediately tried to contact the seller. No luck. I also found a local sale that was more recent for about ten times the price. Looking carefully at the pics , they were not the same bass.
I wish I had immediately seen the original ad , I would have scooped that instantly. An old friend that lives in LA picked up a Chinese copy some years ago and asked me if I'd like the copy. It's a gift. And it's on the way.
I'm completely gobsmacked.
And really looking forward to trying this. Me inner Keith Richards is coming out again , I should probably grow out a mullet and start wearing scarves.

There is a ton of the copies on eBay.  Even left-handed ones.
