Guild Pilot bass club?

[nalapit13]

if you look at my family pic. the third one from the left is finished with tung oil. yours is maple and not sure how yours would look. that bass i did it to was alder(i think). and was painted not stained.

the eight string i am building also has a tung oil finish on it as well. but same thing it was painted and i stripped it and tung oil finished it.

not to mention it would probably be a pain to get the stain off of your bass for a natural finish. but i am not sure. i am all for sanding and putting new pickups and preamps in my pilots. i own 10 and none of them have the same electronics in them. well except for my two advanced and my 83. but those will stay stock as long as i have them.

owyeah it's stained... guess that would make it a pain in the ***

yeah a red-stained maple body... '84 model, with the different headshape(the more metall kinda looking one, just like the one above)

really nice one... but like I said, I don't have the money, but there are no offers uptill now, they aren't well loved around here I guess...

I may soon be the owner of a green maple 5 string. with 2 emg jazz pick ups.
Not sure of the year. The bass is great condition. 500.00 two much to pay?
I do own a Dearmond deluxe 6string in mint condition.

 

[nalapit13]

hey 90K you know the serial number?

 

[90k]

nalapit13 I am looking to get that info now. I will post it when I find out. Thanks for your help and interest.

 

[90k]

here is the info. probably somewhere around1994-96.
serial AL050067. It is also a 5 string.

I love Pilots. They always remind me of Jerry Peek playing the wild bass lick to "Cruise Missile", which I could never quite pick out.

 

[nalapit13]

90k your pilot is a 1994.

 

[nalapit13]

after a month of waiting because g. center mistakenly shipped it to someone else. i finally have my 11th pilot in my grasps!!

OOOHHH.... deluxe 6'er.... played one once... cool bass. Trying to find one myself.

TB seems to be a bit anti-Pilot... I have no idea why. They're GGGRRREEEAAATTTT basses!

 

[ubado]

hey ubado could you make a photo of the inside of your bass? I'm kinda thinking about upgrading mine with a pre-amp, but not sure if how I would/should wire it (4 pots instead of 3, worried about the room...)

Yup... sorry about the delay. I'll PM you to get your email to send it.
