@ozda That is great advice. Unfortunately - I never seem to get rid of anything.
I'm leaning towards going with the amp!
@jeffdavenport The Gretsch 😍
@mkrocks I like the way you think!
@jeffdavenport I'm German, so it wasn't really a choice, ha! But die-hard Gretsch fan here.
@mkrocks there’s something about them! I had one - but traded it in for an acoustic. I didn’t like the Bigsby. But I really miss that sound! #CoSoGuitar
@jeffdavenport Gorgeous! Never trade a guitar, you're gonna miss her, haha!
@BillyBones @mkrocks You’re making me jealous!
@jeffdavenport That's easily solved. Buy the Gretsch.... 😈
@BillyBones Okay, you win! Man, that's a beaut!
Even more Gretsches?! Have a Falcon at home?
@BillyBones @mkrocks Billy - my jealousy is out of control!
@jeffdavenport Thanks, but there's no reason to be jealous!
Other than the three you've seen, the other Gretsch I have is a Gin Rickey - that one's loads of fun!
(I haven't got a good snap of it on its own so you'll have to forgive the intrusion by my banjo 👍 )
@BillyBones @mkrocks You have some sweet gear. I have to rotate mine from different rooms to avoid the wife asking “how many guitars do you have now?”
@jeffdavenport Haha, it's an age old struggle for us, I think. We used to go through that, but as I've always pointed out, I don't smoke, only drink socially, don't do drugs, don't go out gambling, don't womanise... this is my 'vice' and I try to make sure every instrument I buy is something different from anything I've already got (note I did say *try* lol).
Even I don't know how many I've got. I think it's around 20 🤷♂️ but always regret getting rid of certain ones over the years.
@northernbassist Good shout!! 😀 🍻
"I can stop buying guitars anytime I want to.
i just don't want to...."
@northernbassist 😆 Dat you, Joe Bonamassa? 😝
@northernbassist 👍 So what's next on your hit list? @jeffdavenport @mkrocks
@BillyBones
I just missed out on a couple--an Ibanez 4/6 doubleneck and a Taylor acoustic bass. Only instrument in the pipeline is a weirdo that probably won't be delivered till mid next year.
Boaz Guitar--there are three pickup "cassettes" that slide in and out. Strat, Tele, and LP pickup configurations.
@northernbassist 🙀 You got in on the Kickstarter for that? This is the one that was mentioned a couple of years ago then... kind of nothing happened isn't it? Damn, I can't wait to see what you think of this - please say there'll be tons of photos and thoughts when it finally arrives!
It's a jungle in here!! 😂 Whole lotta really irate impatient people complaining. I think the guy is legit, got caught up in all the pandemic shipping/supply issues, and will do the right thing as soon as he can.
i will mos def let folks know about this once it's in my hands--i think. it's a great idea and i'm looking forward to seeing his execution. of the concept.
@northernbassist @BillyBones @jeffdavenport @mkrocks
Maybe a guitar of bread???
@tgraph52 🤣
Plays like butter? 🤔
@BillyBones @tgraph52 @jeffdavenport @mkrocks
plays *with* butter.
@northernbassist @BillyBones @jeffdavenport @mkrocks
y'all can just stop now 🎸
@jeffdavenport @BillyBones @mkrocks
I don’t ask, he doesn’t tell. 🎸
@realDDGlover The secret to a successful marriage right there 🤣 @jeffdavenport @mkrocks
@BillyBones @jeffdavenport @mkrocks
43 years. 👍😎
@jeffdavenport @BillyBones @mkrocks
My favorite Gretsch - my Penguin
@sonnybillglover 😍
That's gorgeous!! How long have you had her?
@BillyBones @jeffdavenport @mkrocks
About two years. It was built around 2004 and was apparently a closet queen. When I got it, it still had some protective plastic on some components
@sonnybillglover That is beautiful!
@jeffdavenport
The fretboard is amazing too. Bought it sight unseen but very happy with it. Sounds great.
@sonnybillglover Now we talkin'!
I didn't bother to ask if anyone here owns a Penguin cause I didn't think so! Rad!
@jeffdavenport @BillyBones
@jeffdavenport Imagine you already owned both but had to sell one. Buy the one you wouldn't sell. :)
