--- Quote from: D.M.N. on December 03, 2018, 06:49:20 AM ---Recently found this shot, looks like after the first photo Denis posted in post #6, but before the shots of where it's been modded. You can see the Orange cabs under the Hiwatts, which also show up in the earlier shot, and that a sticker has been added to the bass. The Orange cabs are interesting, looks like on the right there is a stack of 4x12s, but on the left it appears to be a cab, nearly as tall as two 4x12s, as there's no break in the middle. I would guess it's an 8x10, doubt it's a 6x12 or 8x12.

Awesome, thanks for posting that!!!! That's a great photo!

D.M.N.:
I know it's an old thread, but wanted to update seeing as some of the old photo links are dead and I've seen some new ones as well.

From his very early days, a white Precision with tort guard, and what looks like black tape on the headstock



Same Precision, now with either a painted or anodized guard



And a Hofner 500/1 with Cavern spacing. Note annotation, the first photo Glenn had of himself as a musician.

uwe:
That 1968 appearance at the Stones Circus starting this thread is instrumentally mimed, only Ian Anderson sings live (half-playback). Neither Cornick  nor Tony Iommi are plugged, the drums are unmiked. That's why you don't hear Iommi (with the white hat) playing live either. Anderson did let go of him in any case shortly after when he realized that Tony's missing digits on his fretting hand would give him issues with the very ornamental guitar parts Ian had in mind for Tull going forward.

D.M.N.:
And now the Wild Turkey period.

Later appearance of the Reverse II, now with a sticker covering the Neil Clark hot stamp on the pickguard.




Early photo of Wild Turkey, with the Reverse II. I also mentioned in an earlier post, the massive Orange cab, which can be seen clearly here. Since that original post and my conjecture as to what it was, I've seen photos of both original Orange 6x12 and 4x15 cabs. A bit hard to say which it is, but in another photo you can make out the shadow of some of the speakers, and I'm leaning towards a 6x12





The Rickenbacker 4001

D.M.N.:
And now for some Fenders, first the natural Precision seen earlier in the thread.


A natural Jazz Bass, with what appears to be the Natural Precision's neck (or at least a maple Precision neck, black dots instead of blocks and binding that would have been available on Jazzes at the time)



A natural Jazz with a rosewood bound and block neck. Note the date, at the last Wild Turkey gig. So maybe this is the jazz pictured above, with its original neck back on? Or a different one, as the above has a white guard and this one has a tort.


A heavily modified Mustang. A bit hard to make out, but it appears to have the Guild humbucker in the middle, and a Thunderbird humbucker in the bridge position, with some sort of surround.
