Good God, that's beautiful. What's the damage? I'm at a point where I'll be getting rid of guitars, it's gotten a bit silly at my place. And it feels so good when the cash hits your account.

I think they'd be fine on a rosewood neck but not on maple. It would almost be a signature Rowly guitar.

€9500 🥲

Spicy!

I'm a huge fan of Firebirds, love the reverse but I'm coming around to the non reverse.

Shame the non-reverse lost the headstock / tuners from the reverse (I assume weight / cost issue?) - the reverse has the ones of the best headstock anyone's ever made imo.

I always think of it as a ‘70s jazz bass look.

I tried a Squier Jazzmaster with a maple board and block inlays when I was shopping around for a Jazzmaster and it really threw me when playing - wasn’t used to the look at all.

Yeah, a mate of mine has a 70s reissue Fender bass with that neck and I really, really don't like it. Looks totally wrong to me.

Well my buddy brought the firebird home. He fucking loves it. Well chuffed for him.

Ah good for him! Looks like a lovely guitar alright!

In other news I had a play on this and it really surprised me... I'd quite like one actually...

You ever get those days when your whole setup seems to sound like absolute dog shit no matter how much knob twiddling you do? 🙃

The urge to buy new kit to fix the problem is strong!

All the time, then the next day it's fine! More gear is always/never the answer. 🤡

@Dooks-Fatberg Woop!! 🍾

PS On the subject of GAS I'm getting the pedal on the left tomorrow. My mate Nick is training himself up to be an amp maker and making a bunch of super limited pedals to get his chops up to speed. I've already got his Treble Booster, this is a MOSFET preamp boost. He's making me a super modded Fuzz Face next.

just coz Devin is using headless guitars now doesn't make them cool. or even acceptable.

Ichika Nito

More this vibe than tech metal for me to be honest... I like that it's small enough and light enough to be a travel option but the neck really felt superb... one of those guitars that makes you play better.

ouch. slap him with the prog label by all means, but he's not throwing out repetitive meshuggah-worship riffs and pulling crab poses

Ichika Nito is a new one for me, pretty mind bending that!

anyone in here played an Epiphone Uptown Kat? I always fancied a Wildkat BITD, discovered that these things happened, but oddly they seem to be disappearing

I always hated headless guitars with a passion. Saw Deerhoof the other day and Ed was rocking one. Not saying I’m softening on the issue but he can make anything look (and sound) cool.

Played a headless bass once and it completely messed with my head. I was playing everything about 3-4 frets up the neck because my brain wouldn’t accept that there’d be nothing above the first fret.

Snap!

Why isn’t it on a hanger?

I guess I never put much stock in them

Ooh… bin asked to join a sludgy doom metal band. Gonna need a stack or three. Hehe.

Aw yiss

Nothing more fun imo. Downtuned guitars, hella loud, mates in a rehearsal room, beers and Matamps. Brilliant.
