Fake blood, and some fire damage from the spitting fire routine he does. Maybe a scratch mark or two from the studded leather arm bands. It should also come with a secret compartment to store a pair of women's panties from your latest groupie conquest. Edited September 20, 2023 by Sgt.

10PoundLester Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I had a real EB-0 back in the early 70's. It was much better looking than this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finger plucking can work really well when performing soft jazz or most songs by The Eagles. But for stuff like this, a plectrum is surely a good idea. Ā Just thinking aloud. š¤ Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
