Thank you!

The ‘64 has the bridge set a little higher off the deck I bet?

Yes. With as similar setups as possible, the base of the bridge on my VP is about 5/16” off the deck but on my 64 it’s ~7/16”. This is due to the increased neck angle of the 64. Bridge body and saddle heights appear to be identical.

Nice amp stand.

 

[Ringhammer]

string, between an original VP and an Epi '64 there was no difference in saddle height

From what you can tell are the VP and the ‘64 identical bridges?

I guess i need to refresh before I post. I think this answers my question.

My phone tells me this was a year ago today, lets do it again!

Smiles of a job well done after burying the body.

Played a fantastic show today. For some stupid reason, the input jack on this unupholstered Kustom cab is at the very bottom. The speaker cable I had was a little too short (only ever used this amp with my SWR 410), so I had to jam a stool between the cab and piano in the corner there. The GK Legacy 800 sounded incredible. Trim knob (input gain) dimed, per Bob Gallien's suggestion, EQ all around noon, master to taste, instant great tone. Ignore the knob settings in the photo. It had just come out of the bag.

Excellent!

Nice amp stand.

I have several rounds like that up at the mountain. Huh. Giving me an idea. But thinking about it, the suckers are pretty heavy. Cool look in the right place though.

Say the word and I’ll pick up the 360.

When I am ready to let one go, you will be the first to know. I suppose firing 'em both up and aiming south would be more or less audible down there.

 

[Gaolee]

You need a NR. Or three. Or more.

Nah. More for Chuck and Scott.

Mine seem identical (VP/64)

Thinking about playing yesterday. We were a bit sloppy. It happens. The bass amp was some kind of Ampeg combo with an extension cabinet. I didn't have any opportunity to dial it in. Plug in and play. It didn't sound good at all. The Flamingo sounded weak. Those of you who have played it now that it has Thunderbuckers know it isn't weak. At least not through an Acoustic stack. The Ampeg strangled the low frequencies and made the sound wash out to tan. The upright sounded better, but not great. So much for the Ampeg flavor, although to be fair, I don't know what Ampeg it was.
