Saw Scott's FB post and came here to pay my respects. Loved Bill, traded some Gibson parts with him on occasion, he built a beautiful bass with some chrome pickups I sold him once.

Finally, someone has actually tried one of these!

I love my TA501, very interested in this new amp.

Thanks Mark!

I'll be interested to see how this one stacks up against Uwe's BFG Bass that I auditioned a year or so ago. I loved that one and this one is even better looking....

I'm not real worried about the 150 W spec, as I have never had to turn my Shuttle 6.0 volume up more than one-third.

You need to worry about too little power, not too much (in moderation).

I seem to remember pot value being 500k since it doesn't act like a single coil normally does. Cap value, though, escapes me at the moment.

i used to live in Grinnell and had to go to Des Moines once a month for a blood check at the V.A.. i simply stopped in his shop one day to get an estimate. i didn't know he lived anywhere else.

I guess I say that because I had never heard of him before he opened The Luthiere Shop, and he had already seemed to have quite the reputation. I've never used him though, I went to a great guy across the street at Last Chance Guitars/Crazy Horse Guitars named Greg.

Are you from Iowa? </offtopic>

The bass is looking great!

the last time i was in Tim Thelen's shop getting an estimate, he asked me what kind of finish i wanted. i told him he could do it in amalgamated cow plop if he wanted as long as it looked fair and didn't smell too bad.

i find all this a bit funny. a Gibson finish will be fine.

Before or after he moved to Iowa?

That action's so high you could slide Calista Flockhart between the neck and strings.

When you put it that way, the action doesn't seem all that high...

Perfect, I was waiting on PBG to chime in on this. Now I'm VERY tempted...
