    A lot of the Bacchus pushers here either left the forum or sold theirs. I played a couple of them and thought that boycey's LP style one was the nicest. Can't say i would have bought one of the Strat style models.

    Anyway, I had a blue Legacy back when they were cool, before Clapton:

    Yeah, it´s a real babe. Definitely one of the nicest Strat-style guitars I´ve tried. All my pals are very jealous.

    That being said, I´d also love to get my hands on an S-500 - much truer to Leo Fender´s later vision and, if the large MFDs on my ASAT Special Deluxe No Top are anything to go by, the MFD pickups would be sexual.

    Boycey git rid of his Las Paul in the end but has got a nice Strat since. A mutual friend of ours up home has similar G&L to yours that beats any Fender I've ever played. Love the look of your one..

    There are some exquisite Bacchus guitars on Rakuten at the moment. If I ever get myself an SG with P-90s I think I'll have to give them a shot.

    I was rather fond of that Les Paul. However, my back wasn't! I just can't play Les Pauls anymore, too heavy for me. That's the only reason that one went, and it's still missed!! Now Doc J - that man has some serious Bacchus kit at this stage, basses and guitars, and everyone of 'em phenomenal.

    For the nostalgia, my Les paul and my Hamer, both gone, both missed!!

    What ever happened to the Doc? Is he back in 1955 or what?:)

    He hit 84mph in his De Lorean, and that's the last we saw of him!

    I remember the Bacchus well, as I said to you before, boycey! It was certainly a back breaker but I think the doc's was too, no?

    I'm waiting for a friend to give me back an adaptor for my camera - it's Spanish and I can't recharge it over here. Once I have that again I'll post a family pic.

    Ordered a couple of Musikding kit, fuzz face and an SHO clone. Should be a bit of fun to put together.

    Great little kits for the money & a great way to learn the basics before you move on to bigger projects, even if you go wrong most of the components are re usable
    Been planning to build a rockbox boiling point & mabye a suhr shiba drive

    Got my first Musikding kit on Monday, a tube screamer. Put it together the other night, and really pleased with it so far. Will definitely be using them again.
    This is my second pedal build, after a fuzz face. Great satisfaction in playing your own pedals!

    There's something kind of cool-looking about this guitar:

    I would have to disagree. I don't know about anyone else but I hate gimmicky guitars like that. Seems like your trying to compensate for lack of skill or just trying to be as metal-as-fuck!

    Buy it or I will.

    Quick question for any drummers, when you buy drum heads, do they tend to come in pairs, or do you have to buy seperate ones for the beater and the reso side? Most sites are feckin' confusing me as I'm a guitarist.

    Just ate a peanut butter sandwich and a banana separately but taking alternate bites. No bacon or anything but fairly high on the Elvis scale.

    You buy them separately, reso will last a lot longer than beater so you'd end up with loads extra pretty fast if bought as a pair.


    That bass is gorgeous. Do it!

    Do it! Sherwood green is a fantastical colour! I have a bass in that colour and it just looks awesome. Depending on the light it looks darker green, very bright or even almost blue.

    Isn't it almost a given that your first proper paycheck should be spent on something outragous, cause that's what I'm going to do when I get my first paycheck next month. Looking at a damn expensive bottle of whiskey and then see where to go for there :D.

    Bought the OR15 out of my first two paychecks, and will probably keep spending the rest on gear.

    Damn right! I landed a contracting job in Boston one summer which I ended up only getting paid for once the two months work was completed. Cue me walking into a Guitar Center with a few thousand dollars burning a hole in my pocket. Logically I should have been thinking "This cash should see me through nicely until Christmas". Of course I was really thinking "Holy crap I can afford anything except those vintage Les Pauls." I ended up a happy owner of the Strat here and still managed not to starve when I went back to college :).
