And he has bourbon too.

But lives so doggone far away....

 

[dagrev]

Is that his new band name?

I like it.

always wondered about that…..the 60’s NR necks are very slim (possibly even slimmer than the 60’s reverses), here compared to a J neck….

which raises the question;
was it a hard learned lesson? were there more NR headstock breaks than reverse ones due to the laminations?….

I think those super slim necks went away in the early 70’s when Norland bought Gibson.
But exact neck profiles in the 60’s probably depended on the worker shaping the neck.

When creating reissues, I can imagine they don’t want to put out anything that breaks easily. I don’t have an SG bass, but check out my Les Paul Tribute Doublecut vs 68 EBO.
The new bass has a maple neck, wider nut and thicker headstock:

Interesting about the 60's NR necks possibly being a a little more slim. One day I've got to play one even if never owning one.

The EBO neck looks thicker, front to back. Is that the case or does it just look that way because of the angle?

I think my favorite tube pic (from Miles).

What is it? Is it new?

NAD Bugera 150w plexi clone. I just picked this up locally for 300 bucks. I plan on using it and leaving it at rehearsal as I don't like leaving my Hiwatts, Marshalls, Oranges where I can't see them. I've only spent five minutes with it but holy crap it sounds great! I'll get a video up soon. Sure sounds better than the Fender Rumble 500 head I've been using!

It is thicker front to back.

I really loved the parametric EQ channel on my old Peavey. That old Mk III head had the limit of knobs and sliders for me.

Still have my Centurion. It could be my only amp, except I discovered Talkbass.

I still use it. (fist bump)

If gold finish is ok I've a pair I will trade?

I'm not much of a gold finish guy, not sure what I would put them in. Are you in the UK?

Looking at all the knobs on the Ashley makes me:
