GUESS MY BALLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

That's right for Smelly's 1000th Post he's started a gameshow..... you lucky contestants get to post and identify the balls used on these sound clips..... the clips have been (Badly) mixed and put through some FX so they may not sound like they should!

Your Choices are.....

• Musicman SUB 1 - 2 Humbuckers and a hard tail
• Axis with Floyd
• Hard tail Axis
• Dargie Delight Luke - (which I might be able to keep now - BMW garages rock!)
• Albert Lee hard tail.....

So listen to these clips - feel free to comment on the playing (us ham fisted old farts need a lot of help!) - post what you think is the right answer (i.e. which guitar or guitars on which clip!) -
and I'll post the results when we have a winner - I'll even through in a prize of some picks....

Clip 1 http://www.mikewallace.co.uk/mm1.mp3

Clip 2 http://www.mikewallace.co.uk/mm1-01.mp3

Clip 3 http://www.mikewallace.co.uk/mm1-03.mp3

Read on..................


I also found this picture taken a few weeks before I joined the forum, I was a solid fender a gibson man before coming here, and although I'm not lucious or AL as a player I honestly feel switching to EBMM has made me a better player and opened my eyes to new things in the guitar world - which I thought after 15 years of playing, buying and selling wasn't possible, my post is my little way of saying thanks to Sterling and everyone I've dealt with at EBMM & Strings and things, it kinda cool how you can go....

from this -

to this....

Smelly,

It's not so much the sound clips that are intriguing me...
In that first photo, in the rack on the left hand side,
In between the Nuno and the White Heartfield Talon...
There 'appears' to be a pair of Axii...

I say 'appears' because whilst all looks present and correct on the dark one....
What in heavens name is going on with the headstock on the natty finish one ?

Come on fess up Smelly ? wassup with that particular skeleton in your closet ?

Incidentally good news if you can keep a hold of the DD !

 

[jpoprock]

I think it's:

1. Luke
2. HT Axis
3. AL (with Pube's) =)

You have a good eye sir, it was built when I worked for Sound Control - (Joe Gormal of wolf guitars - he's now the guitar tech for texas) - and Couldn't afford the red EVH hardtail on the wall - it cost half the price but was built to similar specs, I keep it to remind me of how skint I was back then!

As for the answers,

Luke on track 1 &3
and the AL did everything else!

Silly but I needed some glitz for my 1000th post!
