The next time I have a spare £7500.00 in my pocket I like the look of the Adrian Belew Parker Fly Signature model. :D

Take one of the zero's off, and that's just about what my Parker Fly cost. A real bargain. I'm still pinching myself that I got it for such a 'reasonably' give-away price. :D
The postage (from USA) wasn't too bad either. It's the Customs Duty that hikes up the price if you're not careful though. I was very lucky on that score . .say no more :wink: :wink:
Thanks ERRO, I appreciate your kind words about my music. :)

I'd have to divide my instruments into primary, the ones I pick up first, and secondary, the ones I try if the favorites don't work:

Primary Guitars
2011 Gibson ES335
1972 Gibson Les Paul
ESP Telecaster
Sigma Acoustic

Secondary Guitars
Epiphone Emperor Regent arch-top
ESP Strat
Fender Floyd Rose Strat
1967 Rickenbacker 360
1972 Guild S-100

Primary Basses
Rickenbacker 4001
1965 Fender P-bass

Secondary Basses
1966 Rickenbacker 4005
Moses graphite J-bass
Peavey Midibass
Fender P-Bass Lyte

I generally use either my 1978 Marshall 50W combo, or my Pod XT or Digitech GSP 2101 straight into the board.

Hi Martin h , if you ever 'fall out' with your Rickenbacker 4001 I'd give it a very good home. I trust it's house trained ? :D

Actually, if you're a Rick purist, I'm not sure you'd want it -it's a bit "customized"

However, even with the EMG's it retains a tone that is distinctly Rickenbacker, but with a shade more fender jazz. If I need a vintage classic Rick sound, I use the 4005

I still have a Japanese made Ayar Electric guitar. Bought it about 35 years ago in a seady little head shop in the port town of Colon. Loved it at first sight because it looked like the guitar the lead guitarist of Nazareth used. It's on a picture I think on the inner sleeve of the Loud n Proud album...Looks like it but of course it aint ! My axe has always sounded good enoughfor me though and does the trick.

I play Air Guitar. :wink:

Left handed for all Hendrix songs. :idea:

And of course - imaginary pedals.

And this was YEARS AHEAD of Guitar Hero. :!:

I don't want to brag, but I am pretty good.

Before you laugh, perform ASTRO MAN by Jimi.
It is not as easy as it sounds.

Ok, now behind your head. :shock:

:wink: :arrow:
