Vintage pic...

[spiritbass]

I scanned in this old pic of my brother goofing with the only Fender I bought new. They weren't called "Geddys" back then (1973). Does anyone miss those old coily cords? The Kustom 200 was cool, but I don't miss it. Please feel free to blast us from the past if you feel like posting any vintage pics!

1982 count as vintage?

Coily cords are the best! I still use mine. They are so much more resistant to shorts and so much more managable then a regular cord.

Nice rig too !

Awesome tuck n roll Kustom!

VOX makes those coiley cords now. I have one for mojo's sake, and it's pretty rad.

Sure, but why would you let a no-talent guy like Paul McCartney play in your band?!

Hey JohnK - is that the band you posted those cool cassette taped clips from?

The Kustom sounded okay to a point. I always wished it could give more SPL before the speakers broke up. JBL's probably would have delivered more than the CTS.

Cool pics, guys!

That's funny. I had a combination of the two rigs. A Traynor YBA-3 head and the Kustom black tuck n roll with 3 15s. That was one loud setup.

Unfortunately, my only pic with my Traynor YBA-3A rig (2 8x10 cabs) is stylized for a poster done back then (winter '71).

Same bass ('69 CAR Jazz - bound & blocked with matching headstock), August '70 with my VOX Super Beatle (2 cabs) setup at the Minnesota State Fair. We were an all VOX Super Beatle setup, Guitar & Keys too. Also, the Kustoms were our monitors... just added a bit of vocal foldback. There were no wedges existing at the time. Our PA had switched to a 4 piece Traynor and the YBA setup was on order. Coily cords!

Here's my Mustang ('65... 66?) Sonic Blue with the plastic body shield. I only had one Beatle cab at this time. I owned this bass from '68- '71.

nope. that was a band i was in before the cassette clips band. the one in the pics didn't have a keyboardist (B-3/clavinet).

Can I have that bass? Can I?

Hay Dave, are toughs crushed velvet pants?
I had a pair of them back then too.

My Jazz is a 2 owner bass... and is still played regularly. The Mustang is also owned by the player I sold it to. Generous open offers are in place to both of them if they are in the mood to sell.

I'm getting a strong mad scientist vibe here. Might be the headless bass.

Me playing my Ibanez Challenger at Nighttown in Destin, Florida around 1982. And yes, I've still got it!

 

[spiritbass]

Ah yes. Short memory syndrome on my part.

More tuck & roll! I think my favorite Kustom color was the bright blue sparkle.

Nice Challenger Smokin' Toaster. Any lawsuits over that one I wonder?

Cool pics! My only amp right now is a YBA-3 custom special. Once you try one, nothing else compares.
