Yo Inca...for such a FZ fan, ya'd think ya'd have a little avatar of Frank in amongst the metalheads and bouncy jugs in your signature, no??

Just FYI...I am an incredbile fan of Zappa. Not only was he genius in everything musical, his bandmates were never less than stellar themselves. Bozio, Belew, Cuccurullo, Vai, Ike...amazing. Have you caught any of the "Zappa Plays Zappa" shows?? Dweezil is not just doing it to ride his Dad's coat tails, that cat can f*ckin PLAY!!!!

Just my 2 cents.

My screen name and Avatar says it all Man
Nice to meet another person that recognizes Frank's Genius.
Not only his his song writing genius, arrangements, sense of time
& melody, guitar playing etc.... but his ability to pick the Cream of
the Crop Musicians to play his music. I love the Musicians you've mentioned
plus Mike Keneally, Vinnie Colaiuta, Napoleon Murphy Brock, Ray White,
Bobby Martin, Scott Thunes, Chad Wackerman etc....The list is endless!
I was privileged enough to see Frank 3 Times live before he passed on,
84' twice in 88' some of the best musical memories of my life.

I've seen every ZPZ show that has come to the Boston area,
since they started the tours....I love 'Em!
Dweezil is doing his Father justice, he improved his chops
1000% for the project & it clearly shows, he's Fantastic &
so is his band.

When do you play all this guitars?

 

[Sam Laming]

That´s true but they can also be very busy.

OR:

Person 1 who I was mainly in contact with gets made redundant by company and then company/person 2 claims they didn't have my contact details even though I've phoned the shop about 3 times this week...

Rant over and I will FINALLY have it at a discounted price for the wait next week it's waiting...

Haha sam I play my herbert like that too. I took off the front and back plates for super simple tube access, especially the pres.

I don´t think this is the normal way sam plays his herbert. He wanted to pimp his amp by revarnishing the front- and back plate. It should be green

btw sam.

We are all waiting for the pics!

Just kidding!

oh wow I'd like to see that.

My friend uwgestein is indeed correct, though kayman, that is indeed a benefit of having it as you say. I like the grill on though, looks cool

I SHOULD get the phone call any time/day soon, even though I've been saying that for about a month

 

[frantic77]

i play only 3 of those
LPC ,KH-1,KL

I have some NOS RFTs coming in soon. Once I get those in and decide on what pres to use in the remaining slots, I will probably put the grills back on till I need to retube in another year or so

It'll be a pain to put it back on, as I'll have to remove the chassis from the headshell

 

[Sam Laming]

It takes 5 mins man, it's no prob.

What are NOS RFTs though? Tubes?

got to love the quake 2 logo

Preamp tubes. Much easier access from the front, so I'll be able to move stuff around and see what order I prefer best freely. Afterward, I will put the grill back on

I don't play computer games any more but I like how it looks so sculpted it out of some spalty wood I had:

 

[Sam Laming]

Well apparently Wednesday is the day now. Worse customer service ever (I am not talking about Diezel to those who haven't followed the previous).

Not used to such crap customer service when I've had the pleasure of dealing with guys like Diezel and Conklin

 

[uwgestein]

I´m very curious to see that!!

 

[Sam Laming]

Well here is the finish I was told it'd be:

and here it is:

Different colour ey? I'm a bit dissapointed to be honest and am going to be in contact with the guy again soon as I find an email address/phone him tomorrow otherwise.

 

[Rødskjegg]

That turned out quite different... All the waiting for that disappointment, I really hope they can redo the finish.

 

[Hartmut]

Not bad at all! It looks like the Herby is spitting poison!!!

 

[Sam Laming]

It looks ok, but it could've looked excellent and that's what I wanted with the initial finish. Can't find an email address so phone call time soon if they're open yet. Looks like my little story continues still
