Ibanez ST3000. . . . . .

What a beauty!!!!

Not mine, sadly!

















I promised I would do a guitar next and I had lined up an
MIJ "50's" Fender Telecaster, that I have had for about
20 years but. . . . .  I was put onto this and thought Nice, 
very nice!


















Up to the point that I saw this guitar, I have never heard of an ST3000
and never seen one!
This was on ebay, for a Buy it now of $3250 - £2073.23 and sold, very
quickly! 

I try not to wander away from what are my own instruments and had
genuinely intended to do the Tele but I thought this was just too good
to keep to myself.
Anyone landing here, who has one - I would love to hear from you.





































What a great piece of Japanese Craftsmanship - Beautiful.

Back next time, with the Tele - Honest.

Cheers. :)

Another Milestone. . . . . .

Seventy Thousand Visitors!

Well, 70018 actually. :)
Hi to all of you. :)



























Quite a lot done already and loads more to come!!

Now I have hit another milestone, I think I will do a couple of the
guitars, just to even things up a bit.

Scanning through some of the shots above, I can see that some of
them have found new homes, as during the last year, I have done
a bit of pruning to the collection.
It has not really reduced the numbers a great deal, as I have added
a few more to the "bass and guitar menagerie", which I will get 
around to listing during the months to come.

One thing that has occurred to me - not sure how to keep this blog
alive when I have finished the whole collection.
It will still take some time to do that and I have a couple of features
lined up, which would take up a few posts but when I come to the 
end, what then?

Mmm, I'll have to think about that one.

Anyway, always great to hear from you - from all over the world
Drop me a line, if you want to - either on the link below or in the
comments box.

Back with a guitar, next week.

Cheers. :)

Fender Stu Hamm Urge 1 Bass. . . . . .

How ironic!!!!

















This bass is still the most searched for instrument on my blog and
I don't even own it any more!!
Wish I did now - a great bit of kit!


I guess there is a lot of interest in either Stu Hamm - well can't fault that
or it's because it's a medium scale or it's a lightweight, medium scale, active??
I just don't  know why it is searched for so often.
Maybe the search is Stu Hamm or Urge Bass, perhaps looking for the USA
model - your guess is as good as mine.
I don't think I have seen one up for sale since I sold mine, which I think, was 
a couple of years ago.


So, anyone who lands on this entry, that has searched for a Stu Hamm Urge 1,
drop me a line in the comments and tell me if you have one, would like one or
are just interested in what they are about.

Back next week with something different.

Cheers. :)
