Back in Black...Pt II

[Ricman]

So, just before Beej's Luke came up for sale, I was watching the UK Ebay site and saw this Axis Sport come up. £500, an hour left, and no bids. And so with a few seconds to go I sniped a bid of £510 with the absolute certainty I wouldn't win..and guess what???!!

The "black" thing wasn't planned, but I think it worked out nicely!!

And a group shot....

They look nice but black guitars become fingerprint central and every dent becomes totally apparent.

 

[roburado]

Very, very nice!

Nice pair of Balls.

Black looks great !!!!

 

[Ricman]

Thank you Jammin...much appreciated.....

 

[Ricman]

Nice pair of Balls.

Black looks great !!!!

Don't they just, and I never saw it coming!

I think a Black Hardtail Silo Special SSS would make for a great trio and would cover any musical style, but my bank account needs to recover first.

Thanks all for the kind words.

Great guitar that - black,I just love 'em!

Great that you have the piezo too!!

 

[Ricman]

Cheers Spud. As a UK-er, you'll know how lucky I was to get a trem piezo Sport for £500. Sign of the times I guess...

 

[fogman]

Yup - you were lucky to get one at that price - now treat yourself to a nice acoustic amp.

I never liked black guitars before coming over to MM, for the same reasons Azazael stated. I don't know what it is about MM guitars that appeals to me in black, whether it's the paint, shapes and/or smaller sizes of the guitars? I dig them.

Nice score, Ricman!

Nice pair...
I really like the black.
I need a black SS to go with my white one.

 

[Slingy]

That black SS is hot! What a score! I think black guitars are actually bigger too.

Black is sleek and classy, well done! I dont know what it is about black, always looks awesome to me, solid and strong. Who needs a fancy top?!?!?!

 

[Dizzy]

Awesome Ricman,

Those black guitars will contrast nicely against your White fur !

Rob, you just ordered a BFR AL! Tops don't come any fancier!!

Nice one Rob, it'll be awesome I'm sure.

Thanks everyone for the comments. This Sport is great, loving the tone of the neck pickup. I use to have an ASS - the neck pickup seems a bit darker on the Sport - I guess the maple top on the ASS brightens things up.

The only problem with the Sport is that it has to battle against my Luke for attention.

Happy days!!

Nice one!

You don't see many Sport's with the piezo, regardless of where you live.
