 Nice basses! Welcome here

Hi, they are custom built unpowered Leslie cabinets with treble and bass rotors and a front loaded old Altec and Ev, I got them from the estate of an Hammond player. They were kinda in kit form but in a couple hours I had 2 working Leslies for $20.00! They sound incredible with the 12er, nothing like 200 lbs of chorus pedal.

I picked up a Leslie 16 a few years back, changed the 10" Utah for a 12" Peavey Scorpion. I've never tried it with bass yet, the speaker should handle it ok, but I'm sure the cabinet would rattle. It rattles some with guitar............ It does have that swirly goodness!!

The Pointybirds, an Epiphone body with a NOS Chandler neck and a Warmoth body with a Charvel 2B neck. I`m waiting on the tuners to turn the Epi into a Fenderbird with a vintage Chandler Fender style one piece maple neck I just aquired.

I recognize that red Chandler-phone bass from Ebay. Are you keeping it now?

[TBird1958]

 It reminds me of my Fenderbird.

I`m going to try to keep it if some of the flock o Charvels sell, I love the color on it and really have a thing for birds & Explorers. Does any one have any suggestions on making the epiphone pickups less muddy without replacing em? I did see the SDG Sidewinder epi replacements has anyone tried them? Can`t afford right now but things always change.

Seeing as it is nearly Christmas.

I did this a couple of years ago, so some of you may have seen these montages
on my blog.
Some guitar content, some JAE content, some Peter Cook pics and on the top line,
third along, is Kenny's head!!!!!

No. not his head - Kenny's Peter Cook.











Festive Greetings.

Cheers.

Hi Chromium, its a old Bogen M330 tube pa amp perched on the Tubeworks heads. I use it for the Rotating speakers in the 2 Leslies.

Those are great for LOZ Gibsons by the way, see mine (older model, but pretty much the same amp but without the balanced inputs and an, IMHO, cooler looking lunchbox style chassis) in the show your rig thread (also, due to the LoZ inputs, if you want a reeeeeeally overdriven guitar sound, plug something HiZ into there - everythuing past 3 is more crunch)

Rumours of my demise (re Eric posting my head) are greatly exaggerated...

That's a nutz pic FE...

Here are my Explorers, a Arbor neck through, one made by a mystery luthier in Utah and a Hamer Blitz.

I bought the mystery bass for $80 off ebay for the parts and turned out the death sticker was a nicely done  inlay, had a bound body and it just needed a setup & strings.

I bought the mystery bass for $80

In '86 I bought an Arbor explorer for the same price in Philadelphia. But mine had a correct (Gibsonish) headstock shape.

 It reminds me of my Fenderbird.

I just got done turning it into a Fenderbird today,

 I like the look better and it did make the bass much brighter with a one piece maple neck.

 Indeed!
It's quite similar to mine now. I liked the pointy headstock too. 




 George (aka OldManC or '69Vette to us old timers) once posted this shot............So mine was a simple take on it.
I'm crazy sproingky for one!



 

[pilgrim9]

I have the white Warmoth/Charvel pointybird so this got the maple neck. I routed the body so I can swap necks with just a couple minutes setup work.
The one George posted is nice also, never seen Thunderbird headstock with maple board.

My photo skills are far from great, but I'll give it a shot (pun maybe intended). From the left side:

Bach NR II (stock), Epiphone EB0 (stock), Thomann cheapo ukulele (wife decorated it with nail stuff), Epiphone LP-100 (upgraded with lipsticks and the dreaded Jimmy Page wiring), Epiphone Thunderbird IV (upgraded with a pair of TB+ and a pickguard painted by my wife).

Oh, there's a pee lying on the floor too! That's from a Thomann kit my wife painted. I just put a Tonerider pickup, wired it straight to jack and strung it BEAD.
