I'm with you all the way. I'm lucky enough to have joined a band that plays dinosaur music. Bars and clubs, but still fun. We try to play the 'B' sides of the big hits, the kind of song every one knows, but haven't heard for several years. "Whale Meat Again' - Jim Capaldi, as an example. Lots of fun, or at least it was. I had a guy come up to the stage last year in tears, gave me his hat, saying he hadn't heard Ten Years After for so long, we'd just played 'I'd Love to Change the World' ........... it just took him back.
With the PF LP in top condition I'd love to play it live - even just once.
The ThroBak were a special set that they made specifically for the LP PF. On the box is written:
Bridge: PF -102B Frampton Custom.
8.1 short AZ
Vintage wiring
vintage baseplate.
On the box for Middle and neck:
PF - Custom MXV
Middle: 7.76k
Long AZ
Neck 7.25 long AZ
vintage wiring
Vintage Baseplate.
( The AZ might be A2)
All were wound on Leesome102 . Wire lot E0026 and E0027.
They were set up by Tim (genius) at Bananas at Large in Marin, CA.
They are truly awesome.
The Ratio locking tuners are very good and you can hear the difference on clean channel, and the gold metal cord plate is a must.
If you lived in the bay (north) I'd suggest you come and hear this beast.
Beautiful Picture. These guitars really do stand out. And I can play it through 3 sets, no break, for 4.5-5 hours without pain pills for my back. Love the Marshall. I have a Mesa Mark V, but recently moved to a Kemper Stage through a mission FRFR. I have to say I can't get quite the clean tones out of it, but it does do a pretty good Marshall.
I'm not sure either?
I'm pretty sure they were still available last year though?
On gbase.com is see 2 used ones. A 2000 and a 2008 made one.
