No and no. I plugged in and shut it down once I wasn’t getting any sound. Ive played guitar since I was 9, and familiar enough to know when an amp needs a professional (not me). The amps were more or less two for one, I kind of thought the 64 was hand wired, so that was a bonus. The 66 is...

My father played in a band for years. Trumpet though. One of his band mates had these languishing in his basement. Went to see them and they followed me home. I know they’re worth refurbishing (and I’m slowly getting into bass) hence my questions.

After a while away, I have a question or two to ask. Looks like I have more than a few pages of reading though in the flip top thread here. I have two B-15s, one a 64, the second a 66. Theyre new to me so I am looking to get them sorted. They’re also very complete, and very good to excellent...

There are things I’ll never lend out. Motorcycles. Instruments. Cars. My wife. ‘Oops’ doesn’t fix a dent in a guitar, and I’m betting the guy who dents it doesn’t understand the $350-$600 to get it back to where it was. ‘Oops’ isn’t going to fix a dent in the ‘67 Chevelle, or the $8000 paint...

Two fave EBMM players of mine, Tony Levin and Dean Garcia.

They do fit into that category. They’re not being made anymore, and to some, they sound and play better than newer built equivalents. The wood is decades old, not newly kiln dried or roasted. It’s subjective, and not necessarily a matter of money. It’s a matter of value and sound to many. Is a...

Same question could be posed regarding ‘59 ‘burst Les Pauls. Do people pay it? Yes. End of thread.

Those crazy things with acrylic bodies. Holy screechtone.

Anything with tortoiseshell. Looks like pepperoni vomit.

Great combo, excellent color. I’m envious! Keep the ashtrays on. Nickname: Penny

Rosewood hands down. Put the covers back on for the win. With a felt mute. Oh yes.

Can the snark and grab another IPA. I’m not a fan of every new band, just the good ones. You like Coldplay too?
