Title: Firebird's padsets...couple of custom designs.
Post by: Vos on December 06, 2012, 10:02 PM

I know he doesn't need it, but I thought I'd big up Steve's work. He dropped off some padsets to me today and I love 'em.
The quality is outstanding. Cheers Steve.

Nice pads. Think i may be calling on Steve's/Firebirds's services sometime in the future.  :)
What's the going rate for a custom padset ?

Hutchman, it's a stamped Tuff Neck Pro.
CustardLips, you won't be disappointed. Drop Steve a line for pricing. I guess it depends on the artwork and I decided not to get stem pads. They are very reasonably priced though.

I can vouch for Steve's work. He's done 3 sets for me so far, 2 of which were custom ones. His service is spot on, and the prices are great considering the work he puts in and the quality of the product. Can't recommed Steve enough!  :4_17_5:

Hmm this is starting to look like the threads for SBD's & Del's artistry. Should we start one?  :daumenhoch:

You may want to run that by Steve?  only he might be a bit 'twitchy' about companies asking about their brand being reproduced?

x2 , some manufacturers/organisations tend to lean on people if they don't like the look of something  ;)

I have had many padsets over the years and hope I have always made my appreciation plane enough through messages upon receipt.
I've got to say I love seeing the work but these sort of threads do scare the crap out of me.
It just seems like a sure fire way of inadvertantly setting the padmaster up for that fatefull copyright infringement knock on the door .
Wouldn't there also be implications for the site by allowing them to run?
The museum isn't running scared about these issues for nothing.
