It didn't bust when Tim slammed it, so I jumped on it. A kid made a belt buckle out of the headstock...and like 15 years after that gig I saw him wearing that belt buckle.

Very few folks appeared how I imagined them and I'm sure I'll be no different! http://smokingtongue.com/duck.JPG Almost a year has passed since that picture was taken, I have a more recent passport pic, but it isn't on my computer. Just imagine what longer hair, more facial fuzz and a few extra late nights would do to the pic above and you should be pretty close! Tea.

For that show we played for a couple of hours, with a lot of guest stars. I switched to my "Neato pants" half way through. I've gotten to accept that my pants will never be as cool as Jimmy Page's however. Those are some cool pants. http://www.led-zeppelin.com/gfx3/jpage77-01.jpg And Ted, that's just a 6 string. I really want some type of 12-string, electric or acoustic, they're so cool. Red Red Rockit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowbell Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Yep, the Flying V is a Dean. It's kinda cool and we got a good deal on it, but alas, it has moved on. I sold that and the red Yamaha bass.They were basically filler I suppose... The Dean has a really funky neck though, and when you fretting the strings it just did not seem right. The Grovers are prolly the coolest thing on it. The headstock is nasty. Sound was funky, too. I wouldn't recommend buying one, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
