Gibson Basses / '90s Epi Grabber?
« on: May 19, 2009, 06:18:08 AM »
Saw on Craigslist what was advertised as a 1990's Epiphone Ripper, but it a single pickup so I think it's a Grabber. I didn't know Epi offered those. I've emailed the guy about it so we'll see.

Usually I'm not a huge fan of the painted Birds, but the blue really looked good on it. And I think Rippers and Grabbers look awesome in all black.

Yay, Torqueflite...  :)

I'll stick with my USA built '91.5 Dodge W250 4x4 with the Cummins Turbodiesel. I think Chrysler we doing okay until DB got hold of them and came out with 5000 hideous Jeep models, the super boring minivans, and some of those mid-sized Chrysler sedans.

I'd be interested in learning how far back the term goes.

Sounds like as uncommon as they are they seem to have a pretty good reputation. When it shows up, I'll post pics!

Surf is awesome and I play it all the time at the radio station. We just got a new cd in from The Atomic Mosquitoes from Washington, DC. Great!

I posted some links as well, but my internet connection took a dump in the middle of posting. Dumb internet.

Thanks for the info, Dave. This one's coming to me for about $300 so that's probably fair. Do they have J-bass necks on them?
I'm curious to see how I like it.

Bass Amps & Effects / Re: Bass amp help/question
« on: May 17, 2009, 04:16:09 PM »
Just tried a different cable with the Telecaster on the amp and still no dice. The Master dial is at 8 with all the others (volume, bass, middle, treble and compressor) between 4 and 8. No dice. Seriously, I changed NO settings between when I put it away last night and when I pulled it out this morning. This is perplexing...

I was kind of confused about that whole custom shop thing too. IS there (or was there) a custom shop in the Korean plant?

Bass Amps & Effects / Bass amp help/question
« on: May 17, 2009, 02:54:31 PM »
So, yesterday afternoon I was practicing with the Dano (replacement neck installed) and the Fender Bassman Compact (solid state) and all was well. Put everything away and went to a cookout in the afternoon, where I saw Pamlicojack and talked basses for a while.

This afternoon I pulled them out again and absolutely no sound out of the amp at all. The on/off switch light's on, fuses good, compressor light flickering and dead silence. Took the speaker out and it's in perfect condition, including the wiring. Nothing is looks or broken, so I suspect something on the board is bad or the "transformer" for lack of a better word, has gone bad.

Ideas? Thanks!

Other Bass Brands / New neck for my Dano
« on: May 17, 2009, 02:46:06 PM »
Turns out the frets were put in pretty poorly on my '63 Reissue longscale Dano bass. The shop did they best the could but suggested I find a replacement as the fretwork would cost $80-100. So, I found one on eBay which had been removed from a new bass damaged in shipment. Brought it to the shop and picked it up yesterday. Man, it's a LOT better: a totally different playing bass. I'm happy!
