No, Saab Automobile has been completely separate from Saab AB for years.

Bill's Shop: Projects, Mods & Repairs / Re: New Ripper project!
« on: November 25, 2009, 09:40:45 AM »Do I need to have hair, mustache and a suit like that to play a Ripper with two mudbuckers in it?
Yes, and a time machine to take you to the mid 70s.
I hear Rob is working on a G5. Sort of like the Gillette Fusion, the more blades (or blade pickups) the better.

Psycho Bass Guy has told us what happened, and it's really too bad, but let's not pile on TB here.
No sponsors or their endorsers to tiptoe around here, thank goodness.

It has potential.
I'm sure I would want to change the paint.

Gibson Basses / Re: QUESTION about the Nut Material on early 60's EB-3
« on: November 24, 2009, 11:13:25 PM »
It probably just means electric bass. But again, I don't think the EB series is formica. I've never seen nut blanks that shape, maybe they were hand profiled.
As always, I could be wrong.

Koenigsegg backs out of Saab deal
Worst car I ever owned was my 74 Saab 99. Still I hate to see the brand go by the wayside, and that looks like a real possibility.

I don't mean to imply that it's any kind of disservice. It's just not the Faces.

Gibson Basses / Re: QUESTION about the Nut Material on early 60's EB-3
« on: November 24, 2009, 06:36:43 PM »
I found this, which says the material was "nylon 6/6" on Gibson electrics in the 50s and 60s. But I don't think the big quarter round nut on the EB series is any kind of nylon.

« on: November 24, 2009, 02:21:34 PM »
Just search for Sprague orange drop capacitors, they're easy to find. Sorry, I don't know the values of either the tone pot or cap.

Sorry, Ian, that's not The Faces. May be fun, entertaining and/or profitable, but it's not The Faces.

Maybe so but it looks original to me. In the later years I think it was plain.

His politically active granddaughter, btw, is a nut case/fake blond bimbo airhead.
Then maybe this was her brain.
