TommyGun - I can't quite make out what he has there though. Folks - this guy has some chops. That's all I'm gonna say. Picks, fingers, slap, etc.

Bob. There is some background on this particular bass, but will have to let others fill in. I cannot quite remember the history...

No real great story on this bass other than the shop I bought it from had just replaced the tuners on it and sold it to me for $75.00 soon afterwards.

It is a Squier II from 1989,and as Tommy pointed out,the body is nothing great.The neck plays very well and will probably end up on a Allparts or Warmoth body in the next couple of years.

I brought it out because I put a Fender Original '62 replacement pickup in it and I knew there were a couple of guys that had asked about that pickup before.


Looking forward to more pics! :bassist:
 
larry has 2/3's of the pictures i took--- but he is THE MAYOR OF BLUESVILLE in houston so his duties are many and his time is short ---now me,i depend upon the kindness of others and their referrals ........... ;)
 
^ Good lord man............

Yes,I have all of Ed's ( Starsky's ) pictures now.The problem is,like Ed,I am not a supporting member so I have limited bandwidth. AKA: I can't post more than maybe 6 or 7 of them.

I could send them to a supporting member for posting tho.

Any volunteers? :help:

Larry,
I only recently just setup a free Photobucket account in order to post the pics I took at the GTG. I managed to figure it out pretty easily and you don't have to worry about space usage when using it. With photobucket you are only using the space required for a 'link' and not the bits of the actual photo so you won't need to be a supporting member.

When you are in photobucket, just look for the spot that says something like when you are ready to copy from photobucket to a TB posting. This will make better sense when you get inside photobucket. In TB, there is a sticky somewhere about how to post pics, but I don't remember exactly where I saw that...

I can help out, but I guess you would need to mail me the pics as my email would not handle the size of the pics I am sure. PM if you would like to just mail me a CD or somethin...

Say...., I could also drop by your bar tonight if you are there for your regular Wednesday night blues jam. I can bring my netbook and just copy the pics off your flashdrive. I am assuming you have the pics on a flashdrive?.

Come to think of it, I could have gotten a copy from Ed at his Tuesday night gig which is 3 minutes from my place. oh well...:atoz:
