Bill's Shop: Projects, Mods & Repairs / 65-66 Hofner black neck project
« on: November 29, 2021, 08:35:40 PM »
 Man this thing reminds me of Bill (drbassman) he'd get a kick out of it.  Before he passed he gave me some Hofner parts and this is just the thing to use them up on. This thing has been hanging around the House of Guitars for years possibly decades a three legged  misfit toy if there ever was one.  I got it cheap comes with the pickups and a contol plate. I am going to put it back as close to original as I can. https://youtu.be/fNynTjwlNi8

Gibson Basses / 2021 NR pickups Alnico or Ceramic ?
« on: August 30, 2021, 11:48:09 AM »
  There have been differing reports on the magnets in these pickups my contact at Gibson got this information from Jim Dicola,  Alnico V magnets wound to vintage specifications.  Hope that clears things up. :)

Fender Basses / NBD Roadworn Precision
« on: May 19, 2021, 02:55:20 PM »
  Back down the 7ender rabbit hole. I will  be working with a country artist out of Nashville. I selected this 50s Precision from a  bunch at the House of Guitars, many were far more expensive.  I'll be  tuning it BEAD. Gigs are piling up , I'll keep you posted.    https://youtu.be/r3NwiDJmX9g

Gibson Basses / NR Thunderbird through a Acoustic 360
« on: April 02, 2021, 01:20:20 PM »
   A real quick video of my recently acquired Acoustic 360 with my beat '66 Thunderbird.  Little correction, I mention that I had a 360 I meant to say 370. I see why Jim Lea and Martin Turner used them. https://youtu.be/lJb1R_Mz8hA

Gibson Basses / Epiphone Vintage Pro Thunderbird "live"
« on: February 09, 2021, 06:48:38 AM »
   I've been asked quite a bit for live footage of the VP but at this point in time rehersal will have to do. Our first full rehearsal since before Christmas.  Felt good to all be together again.  It's a bit off to the races but but I am very happy with the bass sound. I love my VP bird! https://youtu.be/WsWGiNeBqcs
