Knucklehead Meet - A real live rockstar in my house + ALOC

[Smellybum]

Quick thread!

My very old and good friend LUM came to see me last night with his very nice lady Jo I cooked (sorry BP Weather was bad so it was pasta- no smokin') and whilst Mrs Smelly and Jo spoke of women things LUM and I retired to my studio/cupboard....

the whiskey was flowing by this point but...well.... I'vefound a new market for Albert Lee guitars and I suspect when my HH AL Arrives there'll be an additional order placed....

What do you think?

LUM is normally a JP man, he played my 25th my DD luke and it was only at this point I remembered to break out the camera, if you search for LUM previous posts you'll see his band has CD's out and tour the UK alot - Not bad for a Monday night in a quiet Highland village!

looks like you guys had a fun night nice guitars too.
just a question how do you like the ernie ball wah i was going to get one but no where to try one out , how does it compare to other wahs

 

[Smellybum]

I've played other wahs for years, when I heard the EB video I took a gamble and bought it on spec,

best decision ever - I have huge size 12 feet - pedal fits like a glove. The tone is amazing and I would say double the spectrum of the 'most popular' one- the led is very helpful even if you're just jammin' at home
and it's bullet proof metal so very tough - also the jacks are on top so you can squeeze other pedals either side which is good - there's a great EBMM video of Blues Saraceno demo'ing it - well worth a watch.

Very cool, War Axe ! Did you guys rip any Telephone poles

outa the ground and toss em end over end?

 

[Spudmurphy]

So is he getting an Al Smelly?

(Glad to say that LUM is my official ALOC "Minder".)

Man, that AL looks badass. Normally I take a quilt over flame anytime but that thing looks absolutely SICK. Perfect top.

I wouldn't hesitate to bring a HH AL to a metal gig btw, love that shape. Can't find one in the Netherlands ANYWHERE to testdrive unfortunately. "I'll take the SSS BFR, MM90 and 2HH please"

No telephone poles were harmed in the making of this thread! - We're a civilized race now....mostly.....

Holy schnikes that's a stunning AL! Seriously - what a beautiful piece! Let me tell you - the HH AL - phenomenal! Been playing mine non-stop since I got it - all the other guitars are getting an unwarranted "rest" . The HH AL - is the shiznit!

Can't wait to see yours, Smelly!

He's not getting one straight away spud, he's trying to direct cash into getting himself on 'the path'

but..... I might buy him one as a gift one day !

Well, when i was younger i just couldn't get on with the Al shape, but
i think i may have mellowed as i've got older though and i'm more open to different styles of instrument these days.
Gotta sort out my finances 1st, but you just never know...

A bit the same here. The AL shape is an acquired taste (like eating snails ). But once you like it, you're damned for all your life ...

hé hé .... This is the genius of being pure visionary like Leo was with the strat
