Great that it went well but with the mic stands, we always take our own even if the venue has a PA system ( we always take our mics too for that matter). Onwards and upwards!

Congratulations :D

And yep to wot they said ^

Take own mic stands, and even more important, own mics - partly because of sound, but also cos you never know what some diseased erk has flobbed into a "used" mic :lol:

And towels, lots of towels... and, unless I had a "costume" that required donning before the show, I used to take a dry shirt, at the very least, for afterwards... there's nothing worse than a freezing get-out when you're soaked to the skin!!

Hey, I didn't realise you were in Suzi Quatro's new band... (bet she's never heard that before! :lol:)

That's a fine looking telecaster-man shot in the first one... that cable would have really p1ssed me off big-time though!

I can't remember the provenance of that tele - I sure we know about it on here already, but tell us again :D (it looks suspiciously like a Baja neck, but...)

It's funny, I never made the Suzi Quatro connection til I saw that picture!

The Tele is my partsocaster - Blackguard Flat 50s, Joe Barden bridge, lovely.

And yes - that picture FINALLY answers the question;  Real Men Play Telecasters.

Nice stuff - but what about the neck? Is it a Baja?
I think I hate being indecisive.

Sorry Ian - no, it's not a Baja neck, it's actually from Axes R Us.  Same with the body.  Great pieces of wood, and great value!

Cheers Mark. Axes R Us are pretty cheap for stuff like that. What was the quality of the neck like out of the box?

The ends of the frets needed taking down a little.

Also, I needed to shape and fit the bone nut (which was supplied), but that was relatively straight forward.  THe fret ends needed tidying up, but it was fine to play our of the box.

I ended up taking it to Bob @ Legra, and he did a decent setup on it for me.

The neck is actually really nice.  Chunky, c profile.  And pretty.
