finding baseball bat necks very comfortable in chord work..my melody maker has a round 59 profile & the neck is neavy & body light..but a very loud sound guitar acoustically & it really pops in an amp. The neck is def round & full..it actucally requested me to find a Rockerveb 50 mk1 with 6v6 tubes.. to fill the last amp spot left to go on top the DC5 on half back cabI decided to get out my hated-- ridiculed-BOLT NECK --Norlin (ugh -- egaads) era SONEX 180 (DELUXE) ...the one with the (refered to by snobs) "Velvet Brick" pickups ....and the UGLY huge "stupid" pick guard ...................
and plugged it STRAIGHT into the FENDER BASSBREAKER.................and Ive spent the last hour and a half GRINNING From ear to ear ...wailing on this rig .......and enjoying the living CRAP outta the tone Im getting from "cheap" gear......

its 100% bone stock......(real VINTAGE GIBSON-- cost less than MOST new Epiphones) weights a metric crap ton .....has a FAT ARSE BASEBALL BAT NECK (which I originally HATED--- but have grown to love!) and I FORCED myself to play it -- had to wear an arm BRACE for the first 6 months and my left hand ACHED after every practice---- however the damn TONE that comes from this thing --is beyond mind boggling.........
Nice Ray!!! I really like the colour...
Thanks, but black still may be the best "color"!Today it was my Godin Core CT.View attachment 52679
