The Last Bass Outpost

Quote from: Basvarken on April 01, 2025, 12:07:34 AMIt does make sense to have two outputs though. One to a guitar amp and the other to a bass amp.
It certainly wouldn't work for me if it had only one.

I agree! I question the need for a selector switch if you have two separate output jacks. I'm guessing it was added or moved seeing it is mounted in the pickguard. I tried to find it again last night, I was going to try to contact the owner, I never ran into it again. I wish we had more pics of it, possibly back photo.

I wonder if it was modified by its owner. Never remember seeing two output jacks before. I wonder if the selector switch was originally mounted in the second output jack hole.

I ran into this Gibson Doubleneck on Pinterest the other day. I've never seen a Gibson Bass/Guitar doubleneck with the bass on the bottom like I would prefer.

RIP. He would show up every year at our local Musicians Trade Fair.

Jack replaced the banjo tuners, but he still had the original massive single coil pickup.

I didn't know that he also used it in BBM.

That is sad. My first decent amp that could handle my EB-2 was a 2-15 Peavey around 1975. I had to buy it at B-Sharp Music making it an unusual experience. I've never owned a Peavey bass but many amps through the years. Just recently bought a slightly used lightweight PA head & it's been ok.

Congrats! Well deserved!

I haven't checked for a while, (I must be slipping!). I run across this one yesterday. Interesting that it seems to fit in a Gator HSC.I had to make an insert for a Chinese case for both of mine. With an extra hole in the pickguard, it must have had some modification at one time.

Beautiful!! I like all of the pickup switching combinations. Is the body size the same as your 69'/70' Les Paul Bass?

They all look awesome!!

It lists the total length as 42", which is a tad longer than the HSC.

I have been using Gator HSC's for my DC Tribute basses. This light weight case is likely the same dimension. They usually have 15% off $99 or more.....

It worked well with my (2) 15"s yesterday. The "Old School" knob really smooths everything out.

Guitar Center has the best sale I have ever seen on these. I picked one up on Friday. I like the "Old School" control & the "Mute" switch. I have been using a Little Mark III for about ten years. At $650 there wasn't a reason to switch but at $419, I couldn't pass it up. I'll give it a better workout on Tuesday with my two 15" bottoms.......
