Talk about the Fender Jazzmaster, Jaguar, and any other offset waist guitars with us!

I know, right? It's amazing that I manage to hold down a job and spend so much time talking about guitars what with my residency at The Apollo to deal with
All that bare wood and plastic and total lack of shielding there are reminding me why I traded my Ric on. There aren't even braided wires from the pickups.
Have you ever accidentally started to tattoo a guitar you’ve been daydreaming about on someone before realizing that you were supposed to be etching a chain smoking bunny on their flesh instead?
Fuck, if I go to the UK I'm now getting a chain smoking bunny with a Ric tattoo.fuzzjunkie wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 6:11 amHave you ever accidentally started to tattoo a guitar you’ve been daydreaming about on someone before realizing that you were supposed to be etching a chain smoking bunny on their flesh instead?
I was surprised by that as well, very sparse on the noise reduction. This is why I'm thinking about HB1's as I play a lot of noisy venues.Larry Mal wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 6:10 amAll that bare wood and plastic and total lack of shielding there are reminding me why I traded my Ric on.

Not to badmouth your guitar, my environment was very noisy, and traded the guitar for a nice, quiet Gibson L-00.
I haven't, but my mind does often drift onto guitars on particularly long and boring sessions like blacking out tribal tattoos (yes, some people still get that shit!)fuzzjunkie wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 6:11 amHave you ever accidentally started to tattoo a guitar you’ve been daydreaming about on someone before realizing that you were supposed to be etching a chain smoking bunny on their flesh instead?
It would be an honour
I'm probably going to Edinburgh in the next year or so to go to a friend's wedding. Let's see if I can negotiate a few extra days to travel your country to head down to see you. My wife wanted to head to London anyways. Seems like it's a hike out to you, but I'll see if we could swing it...JSett wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 6:20 amI was surprised by that as well, very sparse on the noise reduction.

We're actually not too bad from London. If you're using trains it's just one line out from central London Waterloo Station and takes about 45 minutes.Jonesie wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 6:24 amI'm probably going to Edinburgh in the next year or so to go to a friend's wedding.

Haha, yep. And don't dare mention anything about poor build quality.JSett wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 6:17 amPoint of note:
Rickenbacker forums/FB groups are a weird place. The mere suggestion of modifying a 'precious' Ric gets them clutching pearls like a 50's housewife.
Unless you're modifying to early specs (ie: Beatles specs)...then they're all for it. What a bunch of dorks.
You seem like a man of culture. A Greco RG-850 is what you want.OffYourFace wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 7:33 pmjust for the fck of it, you should wire the neck pickup straight to the jack and see how it sounds. But yeah, mod away.
I have to get a 360 now, I'm too obsessed. Need to sell shit tho
