😀 Loved the Kay Bass on Fleeb – all the action needs is a shim under the neck – another bass in the joint should just about bring it up nicely!!!

It looks like a section of the handkerchief my aunt sent me in 1963. All it needs is the snot! http://i16.ebayimg.com/03/i/06/7f/a2/79_2.JPG
BrianJParticipant[quote=”BrianJ”] Hi everyone. I’m new to this kind of thing so please be patient if this post comes out completely garbled! ‘:?’
Oz has put me on the right path – I hope!
I’m the keeper of the LPS DC that’s reviewed on HC. Here are some pics of the guitar.

Note that the machine heads are identical to Ibanez and other reasonable quality Japanese guitars of the late 70shttp://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid202/pd11f65de5e5a92f6b5f71a38f7d23050/efdabb7c.jpg
The body is all mahogany with block construction between two thick veneers. Great fast neck that’s also mahogany with rosewood fretboard. Finish is really tough and the bolt on joint is well made.
The pups are dog ear P90 clones that actually sound like the real thing and have the same impedance. I’m wondering if these Japanese firms bought them in from Gibson? The covers are brass with black satin lacquer. My local guitar store man who has been in the business for over 35 years tells me that the CMI DCs were only around for about a year or so and were very expensive – he says around £150 in 1978 – so they didn’t sell well. Thanks to Oz I now understand a lot more about these guitars. If you want to hear one it is played on the Belita Adair album called Dark Erotika. http://www.musicnoyz.com/artists/bands/9/ Its played by Steve Mills, who has a modified CMI LPS.
