How about we combine our two favourite things, Ed Roman and Monkey Grips


Here's another bass that's awesome. I think that might be the Fresh Price of Bel Air graffiti


This is kind of like the Sky Guitar, but even worse


And here's an "awesome" bass by our good friend Ed Roman

I don't find the music as pretentious and wanky as Vai. There is a lot more rhythm elements in his playing than just shredding out.

Do I have to get the stickers off first and then clean the glue? Because these things are almost impossible to peel off, they're like bumper sticker material:

david vincent used to play a boffo takamine bass



they only made like 50 of them and they fetch a pretty penny on ebay now

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1985-Takami...=p2047675.l2557

apparently they made a guitar version too:



morbid angel back in the day was a showcase of rad 80s pointy guitars:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVVzgYDIbdk

you had david vincent with his takamine, and richard brunelle with his bc rich mockingbird, but the best was trey azagthoth's ironbird

Ahh, it's vinyl, bit trickier but not too hard.

iostream.h posted:

Do this for a minute or until and edge starts to curl up, then work a thin pick/credit card underneath and it should peel off with a bit of effort, use the meths/sticky remover stuff on what's left. You will probably have a slightly discoloured patch where it was though.

I've also been told that spraying butane from a can sued to refilling lighters is good as it makes the vinyl brittle, never tried though. Good luck!

Not sure how you would play this one


And in a recurring series of "Animal Based instruments"


I feel this would go nicely with the Sushi guitar I posted earlier
