Haha, oh, you definitely warned me, Mark, and I completely believed you (and have saved the PMs for mounting the T-bird pins).

I'll post pics of it the bass this evening when I get home.

So am I, Dave! I emailed him last Monday or Tuesday for the first time, went back and forth a couple of times over remaining colors, decided on black, got invoiced, wired the money, it shipped Friday and the bass was on my porch at 9am yesterday morning!  :)

It's, uh, slightly prone to neck dive. Heh, a relocated pin is definitely in the picture for this week.

I hate to sound like an A-hole but saying the head part is open did not answer my question, an open head does nothing for the sound and does not denote whether it is a bass or a guitar amp, open heads prolong tube life and almost all tubes amps are open as they need to be. Almost all bass amps are closed back unless they're ancient like the original Bassman and Ampegs, when people ask if the amp is open back or closed back they almost always mean the speaker section, if it's a tube amp it's assumed the head back will be open.

Not sure what you mean since I've said repeatedly it's a bass amp (and wrote "Like I said, the head portion is open. The speaker section is closed though."). Hornisse's post, which you may have missed, contains specs and a photo of what my Bassman 10 is like. Here's the pic and specs again...

Mine shipped last Friday and showed up yesterday!
I'm thinking I might change out the pickguard for a black one with white edge and add Ripper-type knobs on it.

He's a relative of Arthur "Two Sheds" Jackson.

Not a lot of the late ones in sunburst around either.



That's beautiful!

Hahahaha!

Regarding the bass, I would be honored to have it in my house, in a place of honor. Looks to me like only the paint has gone south: the body and everything else looks okay.

I think the Thunderbird is at the front of the line for unbalanced.  The Embassy hangs a little better, but still has that neck dive reputation.

Until I relocated the front pin, the T-Bird pitched forward like an Olympic cliff diver.

The all yellow and black one looks okay, but the top one looks like a package of peanut M&Ms.  ;D
Don't like the black and yellow T-bird thingy.

I've tried emailing Roman at least 4 times via different methods including Gmail. I either get this lovely message in reply or no reply,
Mail Delivery Subsystem to me

Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 553 553 sorry, this recipient is not in my validrcptto list (#5.7.1) (state 14).
I guess I will setup a hotmail account  :rolleyes: and try that.

Strange, I emailed him this week for the first time (using Earthlink), and several emails have gone back and forth and an invoice was waiting in my inbox first thing this morning. Roman has emailed me from bachmusik@bachmusik.com as Dave mentioned.
Good luck!
