You're welcome to, as long as you can stand small apartments with too much bass stuff in them :bag:





I've discovered, not only do I not really have room for the 'fridge, I really do not have room for it :facepalm:







...... without completely re-arranging my living room :whistle:


I *think*, if I move my Peavey combo to a sortof empty spot in the bedroom, I can put one of the Peavey 1×15 cabs (the one the Acoustic amp is currently on top of.....) in its place - on top of the other 1×15.
Then put the Ampeg in the vacated spot next to my computer desk. If it'll fit there........

Put the fridge in the kitchen. Who need a refrigerator anyway.

Wow, wasn’t expecting such deep thunder out of the National. Quite a surprise.

My ss '65 Teisco Del Rey's have hot singles - both have a very present/full-bodied dynamic sound. The EB-1 came w/(?)flats and I haven't changed them - it can do a James Jamerson tone/sound to rival any vintage P-bass. I was interested in the way they looked and then saw/heard a bass-player at Winters' rocking one through an SVT. Massive. I went home that night (early morning) and scanned eBay & Reverb until I found the one I own. These vintage Japanese basses are not to be underestimated.

There’s a moose in the back of that suburban! (Apparently one without bones):D
At the right volume you could probably rearrange all the furniture in your apartment.:thumbsup:

Nah, it's really very simple: put all the amps in the bedroom, sleep in the Suburban.:smug:

wasn’t that around the time of Made in Europe?..

Yes indeed. The sleeve has the Ric but the pics aren't from 1975 but early 1974.

I agree, you couldn't. Those are from "Burn" tour, not from 1975. Clues? Jon Lord's Hammond doesn't have the Clavinet on top of it which he had on "Stormbringer" tour. On the other pic there's also the Marshall PA style cabs Lord used for his "straight" organ sound alongside with Leslies, those were already gone by the time of California Jam which was a year before the gigs "Made In Europe" was compiled from.

Coverdale's hair is shorter. He had a mane like this in 1975:

There is one for sale in my neighborhood. I'm not really interested but it's out there in the wild. Is that a fair price?

If you are interested - there is no other person who I would like to see owning it more. :)

I was not aware you still had it. I thought it sold. I will have to think about it. I really need to play it. Good excuse for a road trip. I need to get with Chucky about a couple combos that I left with him, one of which I don’t think can be fixed because neither he or I could find the board that needs replacing.

Mike and I have the same illness right now, Mifunzrlo.

If the neck is good, it could go for that. I have the square pole piece pickups in a MIJ guitar and they sound great. EDIT: and Geo has basses with them

I think you're confusing the NB-1 fretless with another blue bass I did sell.
