The Bass Zone / Bought a doubleneck!
« on: October 09, 2009, 11:46:14 AM »
I could swear I posted this while home sick yesterday. Maybe I previewed and forgot to post? (Wouldn't be the first time)

Anyway, with my recent acquisition of a vintage Moog Taurus pedal synthesizer, it just didn't seem right that I had no doubleneck to go with it.  ;) Picked this baby up for a total of $902 with shipping. The previous owner ditched the EMG "Select" pups in favor of real EMGs and added a bass/treble circuit for the bass, and a mid boost for the guitar. There are two extra knobs on the lower horn. Nice arrangement, though I would have gone with Gibson TB+ for the bass, and some Duncans for the guitar. Whatever. I bought it mostly for writing and doubt I'll ever use it live. Until I start my prog rock tribute band.  ;D

The Outpost Cafe / New Rammstein video
« on: September 25, 2009, 11:59:18 AM »
OK, so I've always seen these guys as "KMFDM-lite", but they can be amusing. The video for their new song "Pussy" is both amusing AND disturbing. LOL! It's basically a hard core porn music vid. It's probably safe to assume that posting a link here is not acceptable, but if you PM me, I'll give it to you. (The link I mean.)  ;D

Other Bass Brands / BaCHbirds taking flight!
« on: June 17, 2009, 09:04:10 AM »
Now that there are over 1000 posts at the BaCHbird thread, and now that they are making their way into our hot hands, should we start a separate thread with live BaCHbird pics? OK, I'll start...........











We let our #1 fan celebrate his 100th CoverGurl show by coming up and jamming on his alligator Les Paul for a couple of songs!

Gibson Basses / Skinned a TB+ last night
« on: May 20, 2009, 09:51:28 AM »
And the operation went much more easily than anticipated. It was a piece of cake actually. I made a few cuts around the edges with a hack saw, and started peeling the plastic off with a screwdriver. Then, slid the guts right into an NOS 70s chrome cover. They clearly used the exact inside dims of the old chrome covers when they designed the plastic ones. It's a perfect, snug fit. Droppin in to a BaCHbird tonight.

The Bass Zone / GW basses - anybody hear of them?
« on: March 26, 2009, 01:41:59 PM »
I've got someone trying to work a trade for one of my cars. A GW custom 5 string plus cash. I've never heard of them. Personally not my cup of tea, and I have no need for a 5 string, so I would sell the bass ASAP.

Gibson Basses / A little extra *bling* for my LP
« on: November 11, 2008, 09:01:58 AM »
OK, I'm a simple guy, and I like shiny things.... So, changing the black hardware to chrome on my '94 LP Special held me over for a while, but it just wasn't enough. I had Dave at Fretsonthenet.net make me some polished aluminum trim rings for the pups. They're basically 70's style T-bird rings with a slightly enlarged opening for the black plastic soapbars. Then, I added some chrome top SG/T-bird style knobs. I like it! Has kind of a Hobbit vibe now. The bass looks kind of brown in the pic for some reason. It's actually very red....

Gibson Basses / NOS 70s T-Bird pup covers
« on: October 02, 2008, 07:59:52 AM »
I don't know if this has been discussed already, I know they've been going on the 'bay for a while now....

Anyway, I got a pair yesterday, and they are beautiful, flawless, and truly NOS looking. Not to mention a bargain at forty bucks each, complete with trim rings. These will be used for my (hopefully) upcoming Bachbird project.

And if anyone's interested, they will NOT fit over the current black plastic Bird pups. I thought I might get lucky, as I have a pair of those sitting around, but I guess I'll be sending them off to Mr. Duncan for the guts.
