POWER TO THE PURPLES

[Chankgeez]

This time I think you made the right choice with the blue one.

(Also, people should learn how to spell "burgundy" {or at least be "forced" to watch Anchorman}).

[rfurtkamp]

Yea, I did. That sucker is thrashed, and well, purple has to look good.

I only found it shopping for DCs because of that misspelling!

[Chankgeez]

I look for common misspellings all the time.

People are nothing if not consistent that way.

Fortunately, "purple" isn't that difficult to spell.

Also, check this Basque/Spanish FZ-1S based fuzz:

I wonder if I could get a discount because my doctor is Basque?

OH SHIT

I have no need for a chorus pedal, or one that's probably not very good, but it looks great.

[Chankgeez]

Yeah, I've often wondered about those. You're probably right that they likely don't sound very good.

Speaking of pedals from bass amp companies, I still want an Aguilar Grape Phaser.

[nogodsnobedtimes]

For bass I really love the Idiotbox Dark Wave. It's super rad.

[Chankgeez]

Still gotta check out a Dark Wave.

Also, apparently, at some point this was Burgundy Mist:

[rfurtkamp]

That's a very, very odd fade (and I suspect refin given the new pickguard and everything else - especially the back of the neck!)

[Chankgeez]

Yeah, that's what the seller is sayin' though.

The price is also a bit on the high side given all that work (especially the changed pickups).

[rfurtkamp]

Changed pickups, wrecked electronics, incorrect serial plate, no way to prove any of it....

[rfurtkamp]

Custom pickguard, and the neck plate should be like so:



The only thing there I'd assume was late 60s or early 70s Fender was...the case.

[Chankgeez]

FWIW, I like the finish on the guitar (obviously).

It's more a $1K guitar though (if that), not a $4.5K guitar.

Oh, but check out this one, furtkamp:
