Gibson Basses / Re: 20/20 on Ebay No reserve
« on: February 02, 2011, 07:20:44 PM »
Buy high, sell low............. I guess for one insane moment, I was tired of always loosing by one bidder. I won this one by just a few bucks. Now that I'd convinced myself that i would never see another, they will be popping up everywhere. According to the tracking numbers, it should be here Saturday, if I'm home to sign for it. I'll post a picture of the pair soon after.  :thumbsup:

I'm the guilty one........ I was figuring on getting it for about $800.00, but someone bumped it up to 1,255.00 at the last minute. If it wasn't Ferrari Red and in such good shape, I wouldn't have bit. The one Jules has & this one are the only two I've ever seen. Now I have the pair..........(either oar!)
I was surprised to see that much interest in it, 31 bids. The Luna Silver bass I bought about three years ago, sat in the store for over a year at $1,000.00. I offered him $800.00 & settled for $900.00 with a new, modifiable hardshell case.
If there really are only 12 of these in existance, as per Walter Carters guess, we have 4 of them on this board.

Bass Amps & Effects / Re: Leslie Amp
« on: January 04, 2011, 06:02:04 PM »
Cool effect! It could work! My Leslie sounds more like a phase when it's idleing on slow speed. If I ever make another switch, I'm going to try to incorporate a kill switch. The speaker & the speed switch both are connected through the five pin amphenol plug. I always thought that this would be a good way to modify a normal Leslie to use with a guitar head.



It's a lot easier to hook a jack right to the speaker, then you wouldn't need all of the capacitors to filter out the switch pops. The original idea for the Vibratone was to patch it in between a Fender combo amp & it's speaker. I bought an aftermarked footswitch with a coil crossover, but I still like my home made footswitch that that sends the whole signal right to the speaker. You can EQ the extreme highs & lows on the amp.

My first fridge was a Whirlpool from about the same era. It had a bottom freezer and was repainted coppertone to cover up the original "PINK" finish. I paid $18.00 & the guy delivered it for that. It was still running last I heard. I gave it away when we decided we needed new appliances. I'm on my third refridgerator since then.

I picked up a Leslie 16 about a year ago, I never considered trying it with bass before, thinking it would buzz. The Leslie 16 or it's counterpart, the Fender Vibratone is what SRV, Clapton & many others used in those early recordings. It's a bit more portable, but doesn't have the horn. I have since changed the speaker to a 12" Peavey Scorpion that I had laying around, so it's sort of a Leslie 18 now. It doesn't have any kind of amp in it, so you can use any kind of head you like. The original footswitch, mine was missing, has a crossover to filter out some of the highs & lows. It has that swirly goodness, I'll have to see if it works with bass.....................

I think all two pickup Gibson (non bass) guitars are wired this way, it makes sense that they would wire the basses the same way. My first day at my job 33 years ago, an old employee told me,
"When it all makes sense to you, you've been here to long" That might be true here also!  ;D

This one's more desirable to me

http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-1959-Gibson-EB-2-Bass-case-/280603088283?pt=Guitar&hash=item41553f559b

That looks identical to mine, I paid $1,400 about ten years ago. I haven't seen many 1959's with a single coil. they changed to the first mudbuckers in early 1959.

A number of years back, Mikes music had a refin for about $4,000. It might have had Fuzz-tone?? It seemed like a lot of money at the time. I would like to have another crack at it at that price today..... ???  ???

With those embossed pickups, shouldn't it be more like a 1971?
