Ordered an aged red tort pickguard for the Squier '54 CV. The white looks a bit stark, not really in keeping with the vintage design.

Also considering a split coil pup for it :okay:

Having abandoned all ideas of becoming a rock deity, can anyone advise the best place to advertise my (rather pricey) Gibson ES for sale? I don't use social media and rather wary of Ebay, so does that mean a magazine or a card in an accommodating music shop? All ideas welcome.

Oh, the joys of juggling several music projects at once! I play bass for a fledgling band, and they are suggesting playing at an open mic session at a local pub one Wednesday night. But Wednesday is my ukulele band night, and we are rehearsing for a couple of gigs in late november/early December. As I do all the lead fills on electric uke it's pretty important for me to be there...
Meanwhile, I play guitar for a group of singers down the pub on Monday nights, but I may miss it tonight in favour of a once a month folk sing around at another pub, where I will play acoustic guitar and warble inaccurately.
Why does the life of an amateur musician have to be so complicated?

You should move up here. Everyone who's in a band is also in another two at least, and drummers must be thin on the ground as they seem to be in about five different bands

Ive not been in multiple bands simultaneously but ive been in serial bea ds without a break, sometimes ending with one and being in another by nightfall. Guitarists and vocallists are two-a-penny, but decent bassists are a rarer commidity. I think decent drummists are also harder to find.
