Glad you didn’t say older guy’s analog...

A Manic Metal Monday! And the best bass for metal Monday is a Silverburst! Even though I couldn't get the Supertone to fit correctly, the inserts seem to be holding with the three point after three days. So this is how it’ll be for the foreseeable future, @GonePlaid’s recommended lock and all!

This having to isolate isn’t all bad. Been flipping discs all day.

Same. Been dialin in my rig.
As I said. I have no business having such a thing in my apartment. It’s all the tone I could ask for.

Oooo. I bet that sounds good! A lot of tonal options it seems.

 

[dagrev]

Yep. Unrelated. I’m working. Old school!

That's really cool. Reminds me of my Pioneer Super Tuner. Scratch that. That was what was in my car. can't recall what model my Pioneer tuner was. You know I had a friend (keyboard player) who had a--don't laugh--Realistic tuner from Radio Shack. Man that thing was really something. When he first told me what he bought I rolled my eyes (to myself).

Unknown, I bought it from a buddy in Detroit, it's modified with a Tone Pros Two Point and refined by HMR Guitars.

Better times....

I REALLY like that color. Beautiful!

Not at all! It's a Pro-Ject Debut III. I'd link to the manufacturer page, but it's kinda dead. I got it when my old Technics died. This one is interesting in that it's completely manual. Doesn't even auto-retract. If you want to go from 33 to 45, you have pull off the platter and move the belt to another rung.

Yep. Know that system well. The Linn LP12 only ran at 33, although there was an adapter you could attach to the drive puller to run at 45.

Looks like I'm going to be getting two weeks to play the Thunderbirds at home.......

Anytime. Mostly sixties and seventies. Some eighties, but the cd transition was on. Another collection.

Not fit correctly? What was it doing?

I’ve got my original Pioneer SX 424 in a closet that I’m thinking maybe @Chucky Stiletti migjt be able to help out with. I’ve got that and the Carvin bass amp that needs some expert help. When I can head north...

How is lighting not essential?!

Even more intriguing! Right where my interests lie.

Love all your guys older analog sound systems.

Where are @Count Bassie and @GonePlaid with their artisanal SD TVs?

Sheltering in place, of course. And not advertising what they have, preparing for the Day The Pillagers Come.

The inserts are about 2 mm too close together. The three point is very sung. But the Supertone won’t seat properly. I messed with it for a couple hours and it will not install properly. I put the Supertone on the Goth. Not sure I like the chrome look, but the bridge is very nice. I’ll post pics
after dinner.
As I have said before, adventures in three point land.

Absolutely, anything I can do to help..
Just got this early 60’s Pilot (old NYC brand) in...they’ve been outta biz for decades now...replacement germanium transistors are 22 (cross referenced parts, not original RCA) bucks a pop!
All hand assembled...breathtaking...mind blowing really...

I'm pretty sure this was what I had. Learned a lot of music on my Thunderbird with it.
