Marshall, I liked the post because you’re still hanging in there and posting! Sorry to hear about the lung issue. Hope all is well soon. Take care brother. Prayers are with you.
As is ours!
Open door, comfy guest bed, fine food and drinks and plenty of basses for any club member wandering out this way.
Those seem to have a fairly high asking price (usually more than a Greco just slightly under a modern Gibson). What are your thoughts on it?

Six power tubes? I didn't know those had that kind of horsepower.
Came to see Grady, of ccourse!
I paid in the upper range for this one. I'm fine with that. The thing is about as close to museum quality as any bass I've personally seen that's had any use. Someone bought it and hardly ever played it. I kept looking to make sure it was really an '80 or 81 and not a reissues. Minor checking, chrome is perfect, neck is amazing grain lime a special order today is outstanding. Needs a little cleaning and a set up.

It naturally happens when people enter Kentucky. Likely just some of the chewing tobacco stuck there.

this movie kicks some serious arse…..finally they reenact Korea war dogfights….in this case more specifically a Mig 15 chasing an F4U Corsair…..
Reminds me that my sister gave me a metal case full of goodness knows what when she was moving recently. I thought I was minding it for her but she says now that it is stuff for me from when Dad moved out of the family house decades ago!
Now I’m thinking I better have a look in it, maybe there are some old photos of my first bass and first car/s.
That’d be a nice outcome.
Should someone call Rosa to clear this up once and for all.
how did you like it? are the pups anemic like they say?.. beautiful Bird..

I definitely want to visit there when in Seattle - they always have awesome stuff listed on Reverb & eBay. My '66 P spent some time there via Portland before it ended up at Real Guitars in SF.

There's just something so Leo Fender that it's a brown bass, with a HSC w/brown lining. @Gaolee can chime in, but Leo and brown seem to go together. A very nice bass.
I'll have to get a better pic during daylight sometime. Looks like brown paint in that pic. It's a dark translucent finish, but in person you can easily see the Mahogany grain.There's just something so Leo Fender that it's a brown bass, with a HSC w/brown lining. @Gaolee can chime in, but Leo and brown seem to go together.

Thank you. I'm super impressed.
I'll have to see how the toggle works in a live setting. Could be very interesting.
"The 3-way mini-toggle puts the pickup coils in parallel, single, or OMG modes — the latter is often mistaken for series mode because of the volume bump. “OMG mode” is achieved by adding a 0.1μf capacitor across one of the pickup coils, drastically cutting the high frequencies, which effectively acts like a bass boost. Although both coils are on, they are no longer running equally, which creates some single-coil-type hum."
