I’ve found most Drop D ones to work pretty well :slight_smile:

yeah but when I play in Drop D (which is … always) I just play with Greenie :grin: but I have a few serious ideas for BEAD covers … mostly sludge I must say :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Hey @terb,
Watched both covers with the Harley, nice tone :+1:
Loved the zz top, look with the sports jacket and shades😎
Under the pine is very grunge, it look like the scratch plate reflecting in the sun has been hand painted?
I think the new colour is nicer than the old one👍
Good choice.
Cheers Brian

Looks great! Love the name too.

that’s the name given by Music Dings :slight_smile: I chose to keep that and just added a little “400RB” label just after “Growling Krizzly”, to remember what this thing exactly is over the years :grin:
