Pretty sure the shop is gone now...it was Propiezi (sp?) music on commercial st. HOG was in its original location in the strip mall next door to their current location...parents wouldn't let me buy a guitar from the hippie store...

Tks for looking. The pics show all the markings that are on the neck. The name stamps are exactly the ones that should be there, but there never was any date stamp...or if there was I'm not finding it. If there is somewhere else I should be looking, lemme know and I'll snap a pic of it. As...

This is a bit of a repost here - listed this last year, took it off the market while it was on loan to a guy (check pic), and then held it for apparently no good reason. Anyway, here it is... From Original Post.....Ok, it took time to admit, but May,1979 was the last gig I had, and it might be...

Deal is NOT pending. Must have been dreaming there.

I think the official TB ruling on flipping ("it's more of a guideline") is 1x price paid for every 3 years held. Technically, I should be able to increase the price by another 1x this year, but I like the idea of 13x. Seems lucky.

Ok, someone asked - what happened to this bass since April? http://www.flickr.com/photos/pyratcaptain/9045954462/ Tony was an old connection, and he agreed to take a look at it back in April. Then he hit the road and we never could connect to get it back. All cool now. In short - he really...

Sent PM.

Thanks, David. Bass is now available (again). I lent it to a guy, and didn't get it back for a while. He liked it. (see pics) It's now back in my hands, and available.

The Bass has been sold - but FWIW, the Bass did not have X bracing on the back, which I am told is both indicative of some Prescotts, but not others. Go figure. New Hampshire guys are nuts. Also - I was led to this Bass by one of your predecessors - John Neves, a man that I truly enjoyed...

Owned for 35 years, but played for only the first 3. It's time for this treasure to move on. I do not have a clear history on the Bass prior to my purchase (purchased from a Berklee prof.) It sure looks like what you think it is, and experienced eyes have confirmed that it has all the...

I had been asked if the truss rod rotated freely - checked, and it is fully adjustable. Never had to do it myself, but if that was ever something you would want to do, go for it. It's all good.

Was losing contact due to old solder breaking down on pots. had the wires resoldered to the pots, all good. Photos on link are illustrative of current state (no pun intended, but it would have been good had I thought of it)

BTW- I am located in New Hampshire. Also, when I get a moment I will break out a tool and work the truss a little bit to assure there is still good movement.

Had to get home to test that both did work independently, and the answer is yes, they do. To my ear they both work very well. I'm certain there is some sort of pickup-ometer that will show there is some small difference, but to the ears of the guys in the music store that listened with me...

Weight is 8.7 lbs as measured by the crabby UPS guy who was trying to avoid having to pack it. Tried it three different ways, came out the same every time. Not certain what that comes out to in liters. Oh, and I've tried the neck measurement - which I'm not certain came out right as the best...
