I don't have a shot of the headstock of my bass handy, but due to the headstock repair the screw holes are not in the correct location, so make a TRC that just fits this bass - I tried a '76 on it and while it's close it's not going to work.

I have a TRC off an Epi CP that’s a rebranded Gibson. $400, free shipping, and a free set of slightly used RS-66s!

Played through one of these way back at a gig in PDX. Our band was asked to get up and play out of the blue.
We weren’t on the lineup at all.
So that head is what the bass player had.
Wish I could remember the cab though, cause the rig sounded killer.

And I remember the cab!
Was this.

I've never tried one but Entwistle sure got a good sound out of them.

Loud as F, never could get a good sound from them, to clean. For solid state I like the Acoustic 360/361 the best, even better than the SVT.

I've only tried a 360/361 once at a rehearsal and couldn't figure out how to get a good sound out of it, course I didn't try very hard either. I think they need to be out where you can let them breathe as I've seen some in live recordings that I thought sounded great.

Secondhand smoke is overrated. I'm leaning towards the more concentrated smoke directed into the lungs.... But I wasn't there and it could have been aliens, who really knows.

Reminds me of high school. There was "Gene, Gene, the smokin' machine". Being within Covid jumping distance of him could result in a contact high. We were unlikely friends, in that I was at the top of the class, vying for scholarships, and he was struggling to pass enough classes to stay in school.
