I'm looking for a resource for parts for the Zenith bass. Shadow makes the pickups and electronics, but so far I can't get a response from them. I contacted Gibson, who responded, but said they didn't sell parts for the bass because I bought it used and it was over 5 years old. Sheesh. They told...

Hey Mr. Bassman, can you post your source(s) for OEM parts for the Zenith?

I ran across a fretless Lightwave Classica a few years back. People said, "Don't get it, they are a prototype and you'll hate the choice." I got it. I set it up once, put on the jazz flats I like and have never put it down since. It just feels right, it sounds right in my hands, it fits the...

John Lodge of the Moody Blues. He is an excellent songwriter, performer and harmonist as well. Not only is he under appreciated, but the band itself has been snubbed by the R&R Hall of Fame. Curious when you think that they are on tour now for their 50th anniversary of the release of 'Days of...

Hey MN_Bass, Is this sold? If not, I am interested and in Minnesota - Twin Cities.

I own a Lightwave Classica which is an old iteration of the line. Having said that - I LOVE IT!. Mine is a 2004 fretless 4 string and the neck plays like butter. You have essentially 2 pickups per string. One is the lightwave pickup and the other is a piezo that you can use to dial in the...

I hope this is not bad form to drop a note in here about looking for a Zenith. If any of you is considering parting with one of yours, I would sincerely like a PM to start a conversation. I love the sound, don't mind the weight and will consider fretted or fretless. Thanks.

Many thanks to TD for looking up my bass. Now I know it was the 22nd one made in batch 753 in 1969! Roger

Here are two more shots of my H8. One is the serial number. 753022. When was this one made (approximately...)? Roger in Minneapolis

I bought my H8 back in 1968 (I think - maybe it was '69) from a local music store that had this one and a sunburst. I wanted the sunburst but when I came back with the money it was gone. Once I got to know the bass I could have cared less what color it was... I still have it and play it in a...

Does anyone have a Hagstrom 8 string back of pickguard photo showing the wiring? I am looking for a photo of an original H8 in original condition. I am restoring mine and having numerous knucklehead moments with the schematic, so I want to see a real photo. Thanks! Roger
