Other Bass Brands / No, not a reissue
« on: July 06, 2022, 10:14:50 PM »
Silvertone Guitars to Reissue 1444 Bass
What a joke. A company that obtained the Silvertone name but has no connection to the original Sears-owned brand will be putting out a solid body mahogany* bass and claiming it's a "reissue" of the 1444, which was a semihollow masonite body bass. What a load of bull. Caveat emptor, but IMHO it's just exploiting people who don't know better.
*And you know it's not genuine mahogany at that price

Florida Ford GT Owner Crashes Because He's "Unfamiliar" With Manual Transmission
Not insured either! But it's probably only about 200K worth of damage.

Just read at TDPRI that he died yesterday, and I found this posted at the Rick Turner Guitars FB page:

With a heavy heart we must say that our father Rick Turner (Warwick Lancelot Armstrong Turner III) has left the building. Rick passed away peacefully last night (4/17/22) of complications from congestive heart failure and stroke.
