One of the guitar shops here has a '72 Fender 4x10 Bassman 10 I'm thinking about. It's in pretty good condition and they want about $550 for it.

Other Bass Brands / Re: New neck for my Dano
« on: May 22, 2009, 11:33:06 AM »Do you mean you found another Dano neck that dropped in? That's amazing! Either way I'm glad it worked out.
I DID, believe it or not. The shop didn't even have to adjust the truss rod: it was PERFECT! It plays so much differently I have to get used to it all over again.
That bottom pic of Neil is the one I found this morning which locked up Photobucket every time I tried to upload it. It's a cool pic!

Pics please Denis
I found a great pic of Neil with his Longhorn but try as I might I could not upload it. Every time I tried loading it into Photobucket, it crashed. Argh.
Here's my Dano...

That looks like it had a starring role in "Quadrophenia".

Last night I saw a used GK Backline 600 head for $199 at a local guitar shop. Should I get it?

Tonight I'm going to run it up to the shop for a setup and probably new strings. The guy from whom I bought it owned it for a couple of years, never played it and it wouldn't surprise me if it hasn't been set up since it was new. The E definitely makes the E sound but sounds terrible.
Now I need a spotted cow guitar strap...

Yeah, it's definitely a smaller headstock than those on other P-basses. I was sneaking around on that "other" bass forum and saw some pics of various Cowpokes and they all have this same headstock (although some are painted). Someone made the comment that they have necks and headstocks closer in design to those of '51 reissues than of usual P-basses, although I'm certain no authority on that stuff. It's almost like a larger Tele headstock than a bass headstock.

Thanks!
I have to admit I shocked when I pulled it out of the box and the bag in which he shipped it. Even this pic doesn't do the bass justice. The wood grain is really beautiful. From the numbers it appears to be a '95 or '96 and seems to have been pretty well taken care of. So, the bursts are less common than the other versions? This pleases me!

It's much nicer than the pics the guy posted indicated. It's freakin' sweet!

Thanks everyone. I looked at everything I could think of without getting all electrotechy on it (not my strong suite), so I called Darren Riley's shop and am taking it in this evening. From my description of the problem he's pretty sure there's a bad solder joint somewhere. What stinks is that both of the reputable amp repair shops around here have a 2-3 week backlog. Could be more, could be less.
I think I need a spare bass amp.
Maybe one of those swell tuck and roll Kustoms from the '60s or '70s.

Interesting. I wondered what the deal was on the things.
The guy wanted $125 for it and said someone was coming by tonight. If they don't he said he'd let me know. For $125, why not, right?

Okay, I'll buy into that blue Grabber: it DOES look good. And the NR as well, but it makes me really wish I'd bought that darn NR Epi I saw on eBay some months ago. Argh!
