Firebird snatched from the flames

[Rich#6]

Nice score! I saw that one and didn't even give it a second thought because I thought for sure it would go for bucks.

[Robert Burns]

Thanks! It's so much fun to play with it's baseball bat neck and 50's surf looks, I don't think I'll ever let it go.

************
After all..selling it to me for $300.00 isnt really going to gain you
that much money anyway...you might as well keep it !
Nice steal!

[Axewielder]

Anybody know what available hardshell cases might fit it?

[kruneh]

Wohoo, great score, that´s practicaly a steal.

[JerEvil]

word!! add to that the insanely awesome tone one of these produces on the crown's dvd and BAM, gas

Where on the dvd did anyone play a firebird? I remember MarKo playing his mockingbird but I thought Markus was just using the soloist on most stuff. Also the "Crowned Unholy" bonus dvd I think he's only using a soloist or DK1. I haven't watched either of them in an age so I am probably wrong.

I went on tour with the Crown in 02, he used the import Firebird and a USA Soloist, both w/ EMG's.

i was watching that auction; glad to see it went to a good home! i've had two of those and they're pretty good guitars. yes, the neck is huge, but they're comfy.

one that i had already had a case, and i unloaded the other one in a trade (got it from a local pawn shop for $175) and it was caseless. you may be able to fit it in a bass case, or hit a GC and see if they have any epi firebird cases.

sully

That's cool. Damn fucking shame about that band breaking up. Not a huge fan of One Man Army but they are still pretty cool. What band are you in if I may be so bold?

[jcm800x]

I was in All That Remains at the time, I was in the band about 3 1/2 years and played on the first album. I was on the tour with Thomas singing from ATG, it was cool to hang with him.

[JerEvil]

Holy Fuck, are you Chris Bartlett? I am listening to the Slowpoke demo right now!!! I put that AND Eye For An Eye (Plastic X) on cd and on my iPod!!! Right on! By the way, Back of the Rack is one of my favorite all time metal tunes PERIOD! I was actually thinking of having my band cover it.

[jcm800x]

Holy crap! I haven't heard those Slowpoke demos in ages! Where u from? BTW, I put up a Plasticx myspace page with Mike, he got wasted and wrote the bio on my coffee table, funny shit.

[JerEvil]

I am from West Springfield but I live in Vegas now. I always wondered what happened to you guys (both bands actually). Did Mike S. or Rob S. do anything after Plastic X? What about Tim St. John. He had a bad ass voice. Are you all doing anything musically now? Just sent you a friend request.

[jcm800x]

Rob bought Katina's and turned it into a print shop, Mike does a penis enlargement site and DVD (mattersofsize.com) as well as some hiphop, Tim is still playing around the area in an acoustic band I belive. I have a cover band going for fun as well as my original metal band that is in the writing process right now, we have about 4 songs framed out. I think Roman from Scar Culture will do the singing, not fully together yet. How's Vegas?

[JerEvil]

Scar Culture ... another band that never got it's due. "Inscribe" was kick ass from front to back. If you need a touring guitar player, let me know! You can check out my band at: www.myspace.com/jeremyvarao

I am in a band called MercyKill. We have been together for about 2 years. Sucks because I met them when I lived in Indiana, and moved back to Vegas so I don't do nearly enough shows. Basically I fly out there for some regional touring and national shows.

SORRY ABOUT HIJACKING THE THREAD!

Nice score on the firebird!
