John it has more to do with where this thread is potentially headed. Some of the posts above have managed to step on to a slippery slope and if we did not take it upon our selves to caution the membership my experience tells me that the slide will almost certainly occur. Being a long time member of...

So, the terrorists won?

Here is an example of an early 1993 with a "short nose" TRC.



Someone who should know better was trying to peddle it as one of Pete Townshend's. It wasn't, but it's still a rare one...

Maybe so, Scott but I wonder why it has a raised plastic TRC, big tuners and no 5th knob? And black knobs? Any ideas? My guess is that it was raped of the valuable parts (TRC and SN plate), and modified by a bozo explains the rest. How many people understand the mix knob? It's a common mod to remov...

Disney announced the cast yesterday, and that they've already licensed the original recordings for the film. The cover band was hired to do the band performance motion capture. It was stated specifically that they were not hired to supply music for the film. I'll hold judgement on the film until it'...

Thanks as always for the images... Lovely stuff! Very sorry to hear about Doug Fieger... I thought the Knack's version of Buddy Holly's HEARTBEAT the best one ever after Buddy's.. Do you have images of 625's or 430's? I do have images of 625 and 430 models, but haven't scanned them yet. The Hall fa...

Yup: George's 425: http://www.thecanteen.com/harrison5.html (BH439) I came across a web page (http://www.merseycats.com/Tony-Bramwell-The-Beatles-Roadie.html) with the following quote regarding George’s 425 and Tony Bramwell, one of the Beatles inner circle: Longtime Beatles friend and business ass...

This is an example of something that wouldn't have happened while Neil Aspinall was running Apple Corps. He was slow to get projects out the door, but he had a better sense than the surviving Beatles, and now the widows and children, of what their legacy is. This is mailbox money for The Beatles. Th...

http://www.route66guitars.com/imageshare/IMG_0218.jpg ] hmm, that's pretty wild---they simply took a six string guitar bridge baseplate and strung it up for bass. I assume the serial number was standard-issue then, right? Yes, the first year or so they used the same 6 string bridge plate. When the ...

In going through the archives I see that I've posted a few of these instruments before. Oh well. Consider them re-runs.

Recall that there was a supposedly 1968 (IIRC; maybe it was a 1967?) 360/6 BG for sale local to me last year (I got to see it in person) ... it had lost its original jackplate, so there was no way to confirm its date of manufacture. P4063788A.JPG Hmmm, no 5th knob and the TRC is the raised plastic ...

Doug Fieger (The Knack) with his prototype long body 'butcher block Capri. http://www.route66guitars.com/imageshare/Fieger.gif This is the same instrument featured on page 103 of Smith's book. Note that the location of the painted on soundhole is different in the two shots. While it isn't obvious in...

One of the 4005-8 basses from the factory 'found' collection. We sold it to Tom Petersson.

Additional images I shot of the 1957 4000 #B7102 (Third 4000 bass built) that I sold to Mike Anthony. http://www.route66guitars.com/imageshare/IMG_0214.jpg http://www.route66guitars.com/imageshare/IMG_0219.jpg http://www.route66guitars.com/imageshare/IMG_0218.jpg http://www.route66guitars.com/images...
