The Last Bass Outpost

This has got to be one of the earliest videos featuring a 4001.

I can't really complain about the hipshot bridge for my 66' EB-3. It is made specifically for a two point bridge as you said Pilgrim and I believe it's a bit shorter lengthwise than the 3 point supertone. The posts are offset on my bass and the bridge is designed to work with either offset or straight posts. The Babicz looks much better on the Thunderbirds without hanging over the center block like a Hipshot would.

I just saw Mitch Ryder on the Happy Together tour that Flo and Eddie (Turtles and Frank Zappa singers)headline. He was super cool and told the story about how his song Sock it to me got banned on radio because of being too sexually suggestive forcing him to change the lyrics. He sang the original version at the show and I don't know what the fuss was about.
 

There's an EB1 in there? Well now I have to check it out. Can the Dude playing James pull off the scream?

Just to touch on Jerry, since he came up. He was not only good, he was a great musician. I'll grant you the Grateful Dead as a band can be tedious and often times sloppy but most of what made that band great when it was cooking was because of Jerry. He played great bluegrass banjo and a very unique style of pedal steel guitar. Check out the album Old and in the way, if you haven't already. The best examples of his pedal steel playing would be "Teach Your Children" by CSN which he guests on and "The Wheel" from his 1972 Garcia solo album. Oh yeah, Jerry played every instrument except for the drums on that first solo album and as much as I like Phil's playing Jerry does a much better job keeping things in the pocket with his bass playing. I personally find his singing voice to be very soulful and sweet.
Indeed, DMB blows hard.

I like the Aussie term for redheads. Ranger, as in Orangutan. As for trikes, Alice cooper rides them so if he likes them they must be cool. Alice Cooper is still cool right?

Really Dave? That's almost as bad as a can am roadster but even worse because it looks like a cross between a rice burner and a Transformer toy. Wouldn't you rather ride one of these?

Bargeon, The SG bass as you say is actually called an EB-0. It's confusing because Gibson calls their two pickup short scale bass with the same shape an SG bass now. A good site to learn about vintage Gibson basses and their variations over the years  is flyguitars.com
