Smelly's BFR AL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Dave B is good part II)

[Dizzy]

Great news Smelly.

It's a bit concerning that Strummer had anAL in his bed before passing it on to you.

That axe is going to get a reputation !

Haha, good one Dizz! You never fails to humor us.

 

[fogman]

good 4 you Smelly!

you'll have to do another YouTube vid so we can hear it.
hit that tube screamer and go!!!!

 

[robelinda2]

So Smelly, how about a rundown of the tonal differences between the standard SSS AL and the BFR?

 

[Headstock]

No Pics from Smelly... so we must conclude he doesn't have it yet
Still loving mine.
Did I mention that I love mine?
Oh you want to see pics of mine?
I shouldn't hijack.
Oh... if you insist.

Smelly,

that Al is astonishing. Knowing that Strummer decided to pass on this makes me even more confused about what goes on in the heads of bassists!

It looked beautiful at the bash, and looks great in the pics, so now give us some AL v BFR Al comparisons!

[Spudmurphy]

Smelly - yer such a tease!

Now where the 4ell are those damn pics !!!!

 

[Smellybum]

Sorry for the delay I've been playing it!!!!

Mike,

Great news, glad you have been reunited at last!, I know how gutted you were at the bash.

(btw it was me that picked the '2nd place' ticket out of the hat.... you should have seen the look on your face!!!)

Sorry Owen there were so many new faces there that night, plus I was a bit tipsy!

Correct me if im wrong Mike, but im sure you mentioned something about if you got that guitar you were going to (force upon us) you posing in your garden again in true Smelly style! all the pink guitar and pink skin maybe too much!

Be careful what you wish for my friend!

Great news Smelly.

Dizzy, it wouldn't be my first 3 in a bed.....!

Rob it's SOOOOOO much better - it's not really brighter or deeper tone-wize but the resonance is out of this world, the tone block should
win an award on it's own! - the sustain is Killer!


OK Folks now for some pictures!

The COA's are the coolest - laminated not just paper like the gibbo and fendy ones

The worlds most killer top!

Signed by Sterling, Scott & Brian - HOW COOL IS THAT!!!!

one more on the back of the headstock for good measure

AL's only family shot - although Mr Sunburst has to go........

Ok one more of the top! -

See my thickness, the BFR is a little thicker - I presume for the tone block? - and a little heavier but man what a sound!

Ok Folks I'm outta here off to play this baby !

Later

Smelly!!!!!!!!!

 

[starsky]

Awesome AL Mike, really happy for you realising a dream like that.

 

[Spudmurphy]

Thanks for posting the photos - looks great!

Can't wait to lick it again !!

 

[francric]

Way to go Smelly, that is one fine looking AL...............................

 

[kompressaur]

Komp

 

[Jimmyb]

Mike, Really great that it worked out for you and you got it at last. I know how gutted you were not to have won it.

It's a killer guitar!

 

[MrMusashi]

so... lessee if you can lick your own ball(s) this time...

MrM

ps: im not puttin the in the same line as that.. gheheh

pps: on the serious side... /me slaps strummer around with a swedish surstrømning!! why did you sell that al??????? i thinks it looks better than a 20th! not to mention its easier to play... skinny lil strings and all

 

[Smellybum]

Strummer is bass mad, All good guys!

Thanks for all your nice comments, Off to sell the sunburst AL, and maybe my sub to make way for a BFR Luke.

I can't stress enough how 'special' these BFR machines are over the standard models, PLEASE go try one today.

Out of this world.

huh?

 

[grandmacpubah]

huh?

My heart is going pitter patter...fluttering lol...like when you see a cute girl. Maybe it's an American expression.

 

[Spudmurphy]

I think Smelly equated it to the Pitter patter of Tiny feet - his missus has no chance now he plays with his ball!!
