dirty bitches... i was trying to get them to breed but nothing's come of it.





hurb had a fiddle with mine over the weekend, did a spot of setup tweaking... i've stuck the mute back on it and it's playing really nicely. sw-w-w-w-eee-e-e-e-eet. cheers hurb!

I wish that Jaguar was still here I love it like my own.

Glad the setup is working out for you matey. loved having a tinker with it.

It'll cost the rest of youse though!

Really glad you're enjoying it again Stewie - Hurb is a Magician with the Jaguar setup.

Was the Jaguar used at all during the Shortscale gig?

[stewart]

Nah, mine was at hurb's the whole weekend being taught a lesson. I didnt see any jags at the gig, actually... Mike's was under his bed crying softly to itself.

[Mike]

True enough, I wanted to give the Mustang a run out - I think it sounded pretty pretty pretty good. How can such a small guitar make me look so tiny though?

Gah.

[stewart]

is that the first time you've gigged it?

Yuppers it was.

Beautiful bass, LMB - welcome to the boards

[ultratwin]

Greetings LMB!

My goodness this is contagious. I unofficially nominate LPB as Fender Color of the Year.

[Mike]

I do find myself staring at the Mustang every now and then, it really is a gorgeous paint.

Competition Burgundy! =)

wtf is competition burgandy? the bass you posted is Lake Placid Blue.

[stewart]

some peeps call the LPB ones burgandy because of the old colour chart typo thing, and others refer to the purply-edged ones as burgandy...

[Mages]

whoa, hey yeah look at those purple-edges. what's the story with thems? is that a real '69? or MIJ? looks incredibly minty for vintage.

the bass you posted is Lake Placid Blue.

you mean competition blue. lake placid blue doesn't have a stripe. semantics... but yeah.

Very nice.
Shahrazad? Is that you playing? What style's your band play?

stripe or no stripe, the color is LPB, is it not? i don't know that the fact that it's on a competition guitar defines it as being a whole new color, but i don't know that much about the semantics, i guess.

i could see competition orange, as i think that only came on the comp guitars, but the red ones are CAR, right?

[Mages]

it might seem a bit silly and pedantic but yeah, the red ones are competition red. it's just that on color lists, brochures, advertisements, etc. fender never called them CAR or LPB, they call it comp red and comp blue. apparently fender considered the stripe enough to make it a unique color. so some people (shortscale nerds) like to follow suit and proudly uphold a bit of historical minutia applying to our favorite guitars.
