The Last Bass Outpost

re; new v. vintage style sd's, i imagine there is a huge difference in sound. i have a '64 w/ 2 pups, but have never even had my hands on a newer t-bird. few of those here in fenderville-austin.
btw, i love the way my particular t-bird sounds.( might have something to do w/ the hiwatts i play it through)

thanks to all!! will keep you up on whatever progress i make. right now looking for the right body....

speaking of sunn-and jbl's-check this out. pick up only.gadamit!!
1972 Sunn 2000S Vintage Amp (#140333771880)

sorry it's not a "proper" linkie.

ok. got two d140's in my sunn 2x15 now. back to original specs!
put the altec-lansings that it came w/ into my old hiwatt 2150, and stored the big fanes to keep em' safe.

hi guys,

i just won a jbl d140 on ebay. arrived very quickly, on time, packed like fort knox. now here's the kicker, although the label is pretty scratched up, it clearly says d130!! now, i am not the type to make a huge stink, or gratuitously give someone a neg. comment esp. if it is 100 %)" no return" was clearly stated, and i cannot say if the mix-up was intentional. i am disappointed of course, but almost certain i can get my money, or most of it back. austin is full of steel players and guys w/ old fenders.

i am restoring a 200s cab to specs. that means d140s. any of you guys have any to sell or trade for a 130? or know someone who might?  cab currently loaded w/ altec white frame 421a's, which i plan to put in my ancient hiwatt 2x15 and store the two fanes.

thanks, and stay cool. it was 104 yesterday in austin!

i have recently put sadowsky flats on my old jazz. i don't have any intention of removing them,ever!
(every bass likes a diff. type of string, in my admittedly eccentric opinion)
don't think sad. actually makes short scale strings though...

Reminds me of this one which I was tempted to buy. I think it came up over a year ago: http://vintagevaultguitars.com/pc-200-54-sold-1991-gibson-eb650-hollowbody-bass-super-rare.aspx

i tried very hard to get the lowdown on this bass, and was ready to buy it. i suspect that it never was really "available", if'n y'all know what i mean. yup.
