The grotesque locations of the knobs bothers me almost as much as all those pickups!

Looks to me like they did widen it a little for the extra string though. And those pups are whacky!

The same basic think happened to Rick Danko. Bad car accident in '68 or '69 left him with terrible chronic pain which led to drug addiction and alcoholism.
It cost him his life.
We could do a better job on this issue, I think.

Screenshot fodder... all sorts of interesting close-ups... there's a bunch of other material up...
The first video is really cool because it shows Glenn actually using the EBO and then later his first Thunderbird!
Thanks for posting that!

I bet someone here could ship you one!

The nicest guys are the ones you need to look out for.
^ THIS! That post about Darrin Huff is beyond the pale! I wonder how many people paid him for a bass and died without ever getting it.

Wow, I've never seen the uncropped photo! Thanks for posting that!!!
He must not have liked the double jazz pups because the b/w photo I posted of the same bass later showed it with the original pup in place with a more complete custom pick guard in place.

Found this one on Bob Welch's site. Your photos and this one confirm then, that this definitely was Glenn's bass.
I want it, hahaha!

Whatever the case may be I need to get it right!

I was just going to say that, since the binding issue alone leads me away from it being a Triumph neck like those you've posted.
You're right about it being a weird bass though. I'll ask Drew if he knows anything about it.

That does look a lot more like it! The GC photos shows it with a heavy binding. Were Triumphs offered with a binding like that?
Thanks, guys, these are the kind of comments and improvements I was looking for!
