Earl Slick's Firebird

Re: Earl Slick's Firebird

If I buy that Firebird it won't be around my neck I can guarantee that!

OH YEAH !! A Bird has gotta be slung low!! That's the main problem
with Firebirds is they have a balance issue. You gotta relocate the strap
button to behind the neck. But if Earl Slick owned it ? my guess is it's
been done already.
BTW, Anybody remember Phantom,Rocker & Slick ?? I can't remember
the name of the tune? But they got some air play in the mid 80's

Scott,

You and KMC are right. However, if you guys are like me....it gets harder to see the guitar these days if it's slung too much below the ever-expanding waistline

Re: Earl Slick's Firebird

OK so I saw it, wouldn't touch it that would be too tempting. Man that shop (Black Creek Guitars in the Water Street Market)had some nice stuff! Sparkletop LP, Teles, PRS and quite a few others but Jeff you didn't mention the amps!!!!!!!!!!

Holy crap! Alessandros, Two Rock, Fuchs, Carr, Germino, Dr.Z man I got dizzy and had to leave. My wallet started throbbing and I started to sweat. What I thought was an old tweed princeton (or similar) was a Fender Blues Jr. in a relic'd tweed cab, outstanding job btw!

Must go back soon with some real money!

Also if you go to New Paltz stop in Rhino Records (yeah was started by the same guy) in the shopping center next to the middle school on 299, almost across from the McDonalds. It is a great shop for oddities and used stuff, a crazy selection and I always find something really cool when I am there plus they're dirt cheap!

Scott,

Sorry about not mentioning the amps. I was so enthralled with the bird, that I forgot. Yeah. He's got great stuff there. If you have $$ with you, it could be dangerous! I'll check out that other shop in a few weeks when I go back up. A suprising find without a doubt.

Yup that is it, go to the "Other Amps" section and you'll see the little Fender.

I wish I had seen that amp when I was there. Must sound great. I didn't see the Firebird when I looked, but then he had a lot more stuff than he's showing on his website.
