New member from Sardinia

Postby pigihangeev » Tue Dec 15, 2009 10:37 am

Hi to everyone!
My name is Piergiorgio (but shortly Pigi!), and come from sunny Sardinia, an Italian isle in the middle of Mediterranean sea. I discovered this forum some months ago and I was tempted to join this forum but finally I took my decision when Frenchy posted about his Mosrite combo clone asking for informations. This November I went to Berlin to play with my band and I bought a Firstman Mosrite Combo model, which is very beautiful, almost in mint condition, apart from the pick ups which were replaced (btw they sound great but I’m thinking to replace them with pu’s Mosrite clones as soon as I can – any suggestion is more then welcome :) ). Mine is exactly the one posted in the ebay link, and it’s very similar to Frenchy’s one. As well as Dorkrockrecords I think the Mansfield decal in Frenchy's has been affixed later.
Apart from the Mosrite I own a awesome Hallmark Swept-wing (great sound!), a Teisco May Queen, and some others guitars (I’ll post pix of them).
As I wrote I play in a band, you can have a look here and listen here:

Thanks for the attention, consider the fact I’m not so good in English, so I’ll mostly read in the Forum instead of writing :ugeek: :D!

Welcome Piergorgio, I'm sure you'll find the forum informative. It's a great place for any kind of Mosrite info. :) Is it possible for you to upload some pictures of your Combo?

Hey Veenture, the Vox amps you see in our myspace pix are Marcello’s amps, our guitar/organ player, he has a Vox Royal Guardsman Head (’64) and a VOX Superbeatle Cab and also a VOX Sovereign Bass from 1967 (head and cabinet). Marcello is a Vox addicted, he's got also lots of Vox guitars and basses, while I’m more into Fender amps (I have got a 1967 Showman amp that I use matched with a black Fender Reverb unit and a blonde Twin Reverb reissue matched with a blonde F. Reverb tank.
ps
Marietto says thanks!
