He played a short scale Fender of some sort when i saw him in 2001, pretty much right before he died. Some asshat in the audience pulled the input jack out while he was playing and he finished the show playing a Danelectro Hodad that someone had brought to have signed. Really cool guy, met him...

Beautiful, would love to have a n American Made Urge, but not for $18k even if it was owned by one of my fave players, and was played the one time i saw him with Satch back in the day. Now a non Custom Shop for around $1200, that would fit the bill.

Put some Rotosounds on and add a set of Duncan Quarter pounders, maybe add a Leo Quan Badass Bridge. You can get some great metal sounds with that setup. I get some killer sounds with my Squier VM Jaguar Special with the aforementioned bridge and Quarter Pounder pickups in the P slot and a...

Currently upgrading my new Jaguar VM Special. I have installed a Leo Quan Badass II Bridge and am waiting on a Duncan Quarter pounder for the P bass pickup replacement. Don't use the Jazz pickup much but may upgrade that one too. Best bang for the bck for me is the bridge. Before it was kind...

Fedex exclusively now. UPS lost a bass i bought and dragged their feet on the investigation and paying the claim. Fedex has never given me a problem. USPS is alright but it can take a while to get the package to its destination. Priority is too expensive.

Neat guitars, i have an '77 IC200 and bought a near new Iceman bass ICB200 a couple of years ago. Really liked it but the Epiphone Tbird i had got the majority of playing time. Been jonesing for another one though. The local shop an old friend owns has one for $249. GOt to get over my GAS...

Great group! I had a Magnum 1 i gigged back in the day. Some previous owner had gutted the electronics and put a Dimarzio Model 1 pickup in the neck position with just a volume and tone control. I added an EMG p bass style pickup and a selector switch. Bass was absolutely beautiful. Had a...

Looks like early 70's japanese. Looking at eBay, i found a Seville jazz copy with the same pickups. Kind of drawing a blank on what instrument brands used similar pickups though (cold kicking my butt tonight). Lots of Sears and Roebuck catologue bass' if i recall. A couple of Sevilles that i...

Epiphone EB3 " too cheap to buy a Gibson but want a set neck too"

Checking the attic of our new house now....no guitars...no dead squirrels, looks like i'm outta luck. :(

Lots of reasons. 1. was not gigging or playing for about 15 years, so down to one bass. 2. wife says no more toys 3. i actually had 2 bass' but UPS lost one (06 Epiphone Thunderbird off eBay). So right now using the Epiphone EB3 till the right Tbird shows up again or i get compensated for the...

Sorry to get into the middle of this fine mess. I realize that Ric (TM) has the right to go after the companies that have made copies of their fabulously overpriced stuff. I do not feel that they have the right to prevent the free commerce transaction of a used instrument, perhaps several...

Oh yeah! Vancouver Sleep Country Ampitheater July 28th, wife gave me $150 limit for ticket so should be able to get something good. Wish it was closer but also got a hotel allowance too. Just need to drive from Eugene to Portland and a bit farther. Never seen em and want to go!

Feeling your pain dude. UPS is reeling right now, they lost their contract with eBay and Paypal for advertising and prefered shipping. Be glad though that you got something. I bought a 2006 Epiphone Tbird off eBay last month. It was shipped through UPS on the 27th, arrived at Jackson...

Tom Petty when he did the Traveling Wilburys with George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne and whoever played drums with them. At least in the video for End of the Line. Kind of prophetic for orbison and later Harrison tho. Edit,,,can't forget Bob Dylan there too
