I have no idea why, but I bought...

[Oldtoe]

a Black Sparkle Luke.

Bought it from a friend who never played it much. Picking it up tomorrow.

I'm a bassist, but I loves me some Luke and some Black Sparkle. Now if I could just make the guitar smell as good as he does.

 

[A.J.]

You bought it because its awesome. Nice snag!

 

[njhammer]

One could cry traitor, but I am also partial to both Luke and a Luke. BTW, you know the rules - NPNG........

Oh my goodness gracious, two bass players have posted on the guitar forum! The moderator's handbook doesn't tell me how to deal with this!

I know we've been getting more international lately but this is so cosmopolitan it's almost ecumenical! And it's so rare that it happens it's like aliens landing and discussing their secret nacho recipes within earshot of the FBI!

And BTW - NPNG! See, we skinny stringers CAN learn something from those with ropes.

We await your finest photos with bated breath. Nice score!

 

[fogman]

nice!

 

[Oldtoe]

In this case there really is no guitar yet.

Will post them when they are made, señores.

 

[beej]

Crazy stuff Ben. You'll love it.

(And here I've been eyeing a black sparkle Sterling.)

I'll give you my experience as a long time moderator of one car forum and supermoderator in another. THEY SHOULD BE BANNED!!! Why? Simple......bass players get all the gigs. And the sound guys dial them in right after the drums then quit for the day. Oh....and so that Luke should be immediately sent to me for safe keeping...... right?

 

[Oldtoe]

Because the guitar player's Twin Reverb can be heard at the dumpster behind the building, and we bass players can only turn our amps up so much before gastrointestinal things start to go awry.

 

[LilSteve]

Wow good find, thats rare find for North TX.

 

[Oldtoe]

I was responsible for this guitar's prior purchase, and I've been keeping tabs on it for the past several years.

 

[fsmith]

Nice snag Ben. Luke's are great guitars and black sparkle takes it over the top.

 

[Jorge ven]

yeah, lukes are VERY rare in texas.... good job

 

[BrickGlass]

You bought it because you can't not buy it.

 

[njhammer]

I was responsible for this guitar's prior purchase, and I've been keeping tabs on it for the past several years.

I have also "brokered" the acquisition of more than one Luke. Reckon that gives me the right to meander over here and check you boys out periodically.......

 

[Karlsson-75]

Congrats!.

 

[Big Poppa]

Good job Ben!

 

[kbaim]
