Apart from the headstock and bridge, it sure does. I may have to send Wishbass a query. I tapped around on it with a tuning fork. The pickup seems to be P-bass configured, and it's right where a P-bass pickup should be, except it's under the fingerboard extension. I can access pots & battery...

I traded a busted electric guitar for this: [/URL] Unknown maker. Neck-through construction. Straight enough neck. Plays well. Sounds OK, but the A string is a little loud. Where's the pickup? The fingerboard is a single, uncut piece all the way down, covering the spot where one might...

What a great combination. I bought my B100R hoping it would "tame" my metal-necked Kramer, which throws off so much treble & sustain that it's kind of a problem. (A GOOD problem.) And through the B100R, it kind of works. How does the Spector change character through the Ampeg?

Sheesh. So much sturm und drang. When my little church band recently did a Beatles tribute show (don't ask), I did the whole thing with my metal-necked Kramer -- rolled the treble all the way off for Hofner songs, rolled it on for Ric songs. Most of my effort was to get McC's feel, that free...

Update: The amp more than holds its own against a drum kit in a church hall -- a righteous 100 watts. With "Ultra Low" engaged & the tone controls centered, and the tone knob rolled all the way down on the metal-necked Kramer, I'm getting close to what I want tonally. The amp, apart from a...

It's an Ampeg B100R: Made in 1998, according to serial number. Haven't put it through it's paces yet, but I have band practice in about an hour, so we'll see. My Kramer DMZ4000 can sound harsh through more "modern" circuits; I'm hoping this baby will mellow it out. Right now I'm in...

DMZ4000, I think. My wife bought it from her brother about 30 years ago. It's now my one-and-only. It's 99 percent stock, as far as I know. I cleaned out some goopy finish from the neck heel/pocket, improving action considerably.... The eyes are from a Boy Scout woodcarving kit ca...
