Sweet '72, John! Must be an early - mid '72 to still have Flats without walnut wings.

I think I traced it to a June birthday.

Some quick photos

Hopefully these work as I linked them from my facebook.

If you have an extra, or know of someone who does... let me know. They are the wavy type. Hello to everyone that may remember me from a few years back.

Hello everyone. It is good to be back although I will admit that my training has kept me out of bands, and allowed my instruments to collect more dust than I would have liked as of late. My return seems to be a good one so far however as I have found my 72 a vintage style case (ok, not that hard to ...

Prices on Ebay look pretty hot again.

If you can stand the wait for ordering a new one... I think they are great value for what you get. The thing is, where I am from they are rare as hens teeth and get snatched up fast.

I will put in a pitch for the Traynor YBA200... good tube tone and light for a tube amp. I prefer it to the tone to the Orange AC200. Being a fraction of the cost never hurt either. Another great tube amp I had the opportunity to record with was a great Ampeg 100W V4B. I ran it through 2x15's and lo...

and my current pedal board... I got the dunlop crybaby as a wedding gift from the old band's guitarist last week! (my wife is a drummer and accountant)

an older shot: the 96', the 72', my traynor tube amp, and my 96' jazz.

The odd thing is, after playing bass/guitar for about 28 years now, I've never sold a bass or guitar. I don't collect like a feind, so that's part of it, but I suppose I've been pretty discriminationg with what I've gotten over the years. I think that is my goal... but who knows if it will be able ...

It has been a while since I have been on the forum... but I decided to stop by after seeing 3 73' 4001's on eBay at the same time. I wonder if people are unloading due to anticipation for new bases with checkerboard binding... I seem to have caught wind that they might be in the works (maybe on this...

lots of people selling to get the newer thin neck profiles. That is my guess.

I boil my strings once... maybe twice and it really brings life to the tone. After that I find they risk breaking at the tuner end. I also like lighter gauge (40-100) rotosound roundwounds. However I did get some coated 45-100 elixir roundwounds last fall I believe, and they still hold pretty nice t...
