    Yamaha Attitude Club

    I have a LTD (Mk 1). I was initially told there was only 200 Red and 200 blues made. Just saw another posted online and they stated on 125 red and 125 blue. Do we know which is true?

    Rickenbacker prejudice...

    Great stories here. I've been a long time Pre player and bounced onto Warwicks in the mid-80's. Always considered a Ric. Went for an audition a while back and the leader's first question was 'the old player had a Ric, do you have one or are you willing to buy one?'

    6550 tubes for SVT et al.

    Thanks Guys, I guess I'll be looking for another (Bass) amp tech. I went to this guy because I heard he's a local tube amp wizzard, and I've heard guitar amps he's hot rodded, and they sound pretty wild.

    6550 tubes for SVT et al.

    I'm going to have my old MTI SVT retubed. I was talking to a tech about the process and he was telling me about the 6550s. Also want to state I'm not a tech, but just trying to re-iterate what he told me. He asked what my amp was 'rated' at. I told him 300 watts. He said the specs for the 6550...

    Oldest Bass you've played?

    Owned a 1960 Fender Pre, until some rat-ba$tard walked off with it. At least the insurance paid me well for it.

    Lawsuit, fake, copy....etc, for a cover band

    It is me, or does it seem more appropriate to play a 'lawsuit or fake' Pre, Jazz or Rick, when playing in a cover band? :) I just came across a late 70's Grecko'backer and it looks pretty sweet.
