Doing Things Wrong

Tomorrow Never Knows

Since I mentioned it in the last post … Sir Paul getting a lot of mileage out of one note. I wonder if Geddy Lee or Les Claypool could pull this off?
Well, whaddayouknow ! Nope ! Les is doing alright, but Geddy is messing it up royally. Come on, man, show some self-restraint! I guess he picked the wrong week to quit smoking drinking amphetamines sniffing glue.
What the heck is this? At least the band is playing it right.

The more I think about it, the more that second video bugs me. Geddy is a pro, he should be able to play that bassline, it's not that hard. I want to see another video where he plays that song right, while simultaneously singing and making weird noises with his sneakers. I'm sure Alex would be happy to help on guitar (or sneakers.) Should take about two minutes to program up a drum machine, and just as well. I don't think Neil would have made it through the whole thing without having a fit on the rototoms. Somebody start a write-in campaign - we need to see this.

Ten bucks is ten bucks.
Beauty, eh?
Take off!

This started out as a broken Epiphone, one of the very nice Pro models. Turns out the Epi copy was a bit too authentic - it even reproduced the standard Gibson pop-off headstock. I removed the neck, re-finished the stump, routed out a neck pocket, and installed a Fender Mexico Precision neck. The pickups are stock, the active electronics are a replacement as the originals blew up. I also made the pickguard. The high frets are basically inaccessible, but the trade-off is much better balance.
