Thank You!

Hi there. See my reply to Mac and feel free to jump in!

It is a bit of a cliche I admit, but too dang cold here to drag all my basses outside for a better picture. Maybe in the spring!

Howdy. I used "allegedly" as I had been pricing these same pickups for another project and was having a hard time believing that Gretsch would have used these pups ( $300 retail) in a Korean built instrument. Seemed more likely that this was a "licensed By" TV Jones situation. Just wondered if...

Hey There. I just recently picked up a G5123B in classic Gretsch orange. 32" scale, TV Jones Thundertrons (allegedly). I do have some issues/questions so hopefully someone here can lend a hand. Thanks in Advance!

Hot Smoke and Sassafrass by the Bubble Puppy. ( We also inserted "Linus and Lucy" in the middle section.) Was fun to watch people dance to this.

Still a part of our setlist. Almost every night.

We used to do "If I didn't Love You" from the same album. Always fun working up a Squeeze song!

I had the same one. really awful.

My first bass amp was a spanking new (in about 1971) Gibson "Thor". A whopping 50 watts of Solid State crap into two 10's. It wasn't long before i upgraded to a Fender Bassman 10, with 4 -10's. That's one I should have held onto. Not for bass, but it was a killer guitar amp!

Thanks for the tip on the case. Most worthwhile thing I'll read on the interwebs all day!

The Blonde SB60 was the first good bass I owned in HS. Mine was a 75' ( purchased new) and I would love to find another, but not for $1K+. (Guess I should have kept mine). After 1975 they went to a 4 on the side head stock and a good friend has one of those.
