Re: THe Black Metal Box Amp
Scott_s,you are the MAN!!! Thanks for the reference pix and the wiring diagram and schematic! I'll get my amp tech right on making me a modern version,with a 12" alnico speaker,instead of a field-coil speaker...I can use the hot lead to the field coil to drive a pilot light...that should give i...

Re: '76 4001 Walnut - dockside photo shoot
Autumnglo is a satin finish,Walnut is buffed to a high gloss...my 1976 4001FL is Autumnglo,but since the back of the neck is polished smooth from playing,I suppose that it's Walnut there...

I work at a Gibson dealership,and they have a PLEK machine at their Nashville plant,and probably have them in Memphis and Bozeman,Montana,as well...and since they make Tobias basses,they probably have one in Rogers,Arkansas...when your instruments are cranked out as fast as possible by people who m...

Re: Is this real???
A few months ago, I paid $400.00 for a 1960 lap steel, with the (possible) intention of having the HS pickup rebuilt properly for my 4001S.
