His mother was a hamster and his father smelt of elderberries!

I bet Ted could get that '71 back to ship shape. ;^)

I kind of like it...

*ducks*

Get rid of the pickguard, put a TRC on it, and put in less horrendous knobs (and a pickup selector switch). The pickups can stay . . . they might sound nice, and they don't look bad. The bridge can stay too, I guess. If it had been completely destroyed to begin with before it had been modded, I'd be all for it.

Something more seasonal

Freakin sweet!

personally, i love it and live by the philosophy of "make it your own".

Damned disgusting.

Thing is, Joey knows what he wants, and he's a heck of a player. Top guy too. He told me he loves the Rick shape, and he likes the necks, but he doesn't like Rick pickups. As for the scratchplate, if you saw Manowar's image, it might make more sense.....

and if you saw how he plays bass it makes total sense. that thing NEEDS that scratch plate on it.

yeah he can play it thats for sure, pretty much like no other (sting of the bumblebee), as for thier image, its not for me, and I am metal through and through.

yeah, i'm a metalhead as well but they never did much for me.

Same here Sean, I can't get into Manowar.

...and THIS Joey loves RIC pickups.

First time I saw them was in 84, and I went with a friend fully expecting them to be awful. I absolutely loved it. At that time it was the most fun concert I'd seen; sort of Spinal Tap plays Ennio Morricone . Obviously they're not everyone's cup of tea, although I don't think they take themselves quite as seriously as some seem to think they do...
