It reappears without the place. (Ishibashi site)

[holndav]

ROTG-LMAO!!!!

I just love the Ishibashi website. It seems like I've been to a couple of versions of it but somehow I got on a "translated" version of the webpage and started....well...shopping...

AFTER I looked at Teles (I swear), I went to the bass and strat pages...

and here are a couple of things I found out that I did not know:

"It reappears without the place which leaves the charm of a fender vintage. '62 model equipped with the sound against which "MERIHARI" of a jazz base no one but was effective". Jazz Bass reissue. Cool. Ok then.

"Development is performed from the field of performance nature, such as a neck and a pickup, and a sound. The medium scale jazz base which produces the new possibility". (Less expensive version of Jazz Bass). All right, ok.

""SUTORATO" which can be used for a guide to a guitar at the optimal and the Almighty". The 60's Strat

and then there is:

"364mm scale, a bottom master with built-in "FAZU". Single P.U. specification. A guitarist is provided with the approach of the guitar feeling which leads heavy low-pitched sound like the rumbling of the ground to a bassist". The Jazzmaster "Bottom Master" (Yes, we've laughed at that one before too)...

still, it must be this that defines MIJ Fenders at Ishibashi:

"Tele "KYASU" of light ash body adoption and orthodox conviction". What else? the MIJ '52 RI Tele.

and finally:

"Vibration with delicate merit of a piece and plump inside sound". The '72 RI Tele

FUN!!! I've always wanted to learn Japanese. Now even more!!!.

FAZU! (hope that doesn't mean something too dirty).

Hmmm... The Japaneese "K. Richard's Tele" has "Drugstar" Pickups in it LMAO !!!

I wonder if I could get one with a "BIGUSUBI" Bridge ?

Thanks for the great news David! I figured all must be well because you've been such a silly boy lately (As if I haven't)!

This is TOO much! I'm trying so hard not to wake the kids from laughing!

I haven't checked out engrish.com yet, but I will shortly.

OK don't tell me - before long, we're all going to be talking like this here, right???

Hey Bug Music!

For whatever reason, I can't get the page to load. But I'm just DYING ON THE FLOOR here!

DRUGSTAR PICKUPS???

SOOOOOO many jokes that we can't post here!

BTW - Bug, did you get your name from an episode of "The Flintstones"?

"Bug music?!? I can't STAND bug music!

I Love the Stones ! ( Fred and Barney that is ), yes very few people seem to know of "Bug Music". Back in the '60's when I was learning to play a bandmate of mine told me what I play is "Bug Music", he was right ( loud and twangy ). I liked that description and kept it.

I got to that page by going to the Ishibashi main page, clicking on the " In English " tab at the top which opens another page, about half way down is a link to the english translation. Then I looked for " Fender Japan". I've gotta get a set of "DrugStars" for myself.

i went to music school where there were a lot of japanese jazz musicians. my friend had a class with a japanese guy with perfect pitch. so the teacher was teachin a lesson and started playin a jazz tune, and it was in the "wrong" key. the japese guy interrupted him loudly going..
PRAY IT RIGHT, ITS IN B FRAT.
lol after that me and all my friends would say that anytime somebody played a tune wrong.
"Pray it right man cmon"

I'm a pretty cool cat around the PC, but the Drug Star pickup got me laughing out too! I'll clap my pants from raughing! :ROR:

Somehow after reading about the pickups in that model, the lead-up phrase gets new meanings:
"Let the white ash which produces a tight sound be body material. The TL52SPL model corresponding to straight code cutting."

. ..."white ash", you know what I mean, nudge-nudge. I'm sure Keith wouldn't snort anything but 100% straight code cut stuff.

 

[trag-o-caster]

This funniest thing I've EVER seen!

I wonder what the specs are on those "Drugstar" Pups? I'm assuming that they are "Staggered" pole pieces right?

Would someone whose knowledge regarding the computer is far in advancement of my own, please import this thread over to that which is titled the "Green Blinking Light" thread at the Cafe which is also called the Bad Dog?

I am giving to you the expression of gratitude which erupts from that part of the anatomy which ...........

Never mind - thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I can't even do it convincingly can I?

'taint the fault of the Japanese

This is just a machine "translator" at work, also known as a random surrealism generator. Here, for instance, is a summary of one of my short stories, as translated back from the French by Google:


Thus this teenager, supervisor of bathe for the summer, ganjaifié as it is not allowed, which, occupied with fantasmer on a beautiful fair plant, misses letting die a baby... The woman in question having saved the kid, congratulates Kenny... by false modesty, respect of suitabilities, idleness of the scandals; and invites it to drink orange juice glass. The unconscious one of the teenager leaves at once in gimlet and sends it to run to the catastrophe. The éconduction, run in advance, however makes us the effect of a slap, as with the presumptuous kid. In simple a saynète like this one, Canty crystallizes with wonder all frustrations teenagers. Humour - jaws blocked, laughter stopped in full flight - fact of holding the unit: with final, a miracle of observation of a human race shipwrecked woman.

Dave, I almost posted the same thing!

Yes, I almost did, after having read it a few days ago! It's a newly designed/revised English version of Ishibashi's Fender Japan website. The original English-version site had impeccable English grammar; this one clearly doesn't.

Portions of Ishibashi's new English Fender Japan page definitely belong at www.engrish.com. (And you thought "All your base are belong to us" was funny....)

I now close my post with the traditional salutation from Shinjuku, "FAZU."

Pocari Sweat that is, actual name of a bottled water
