Hey. A '77 MIJ Ibanez bass, whatever else it might look like (and however horrible, improper, illegal -- though I feel the need to remind everyone that the Ibanez in particular was not "illegal" until it crossed the Pacific -- or "etcetera" that may be) is probably a darn good IN...

I'll be happy to see it. Macca being on the show seems to be the next evolution (upward) of the program. In alot of ways it's become more than a "talent" competition, but instead a showcase for the music that has driven the "pop" culture. What music other than that of Lennon &...

"Gibson confirms that the current J160Es have a true P90"...

Ah! That would explain the hum. I thought I had a bit of small grounding problem. Glad to hear this!!!

Hey guys, I have a J-160E Standard (current production 2005 model), and I really love the guitar. The current version differs from John's & George's guitars in several ways. The P100 vs P90 difference has been mentioned (current model has the stacked humbucker P100). Most significantly the curre...

Whereabouts unknown, I think.

I used to be active at Beatgear, but I am no longer. I have to say, though, that what soured me on Beatgear is just a slightly more annoying example of I've seen with quite a few online "communities": a few "insiders" who have latitude to say whatever they want (accompanied by do...

Yeah, but check out that little shuffle-slide-dance step he's doing.

Hey guys. The Beatgear Cavern forum discussions of this typically assume that the voice is Paul. Another comment typically made about it is that the count-in was a later addition -- Paul supposedly counted in at the beginning of his bass part, which was not part of the original guitar/vocal track. F...

Yep -- The pic I linked in my post above was lifted from the BeatGear Cavern discussion where Larry mentioned that the guitar was his...

How cool to have owned a guitar that was held & played (if only for a photo session) by a Beatle!!!

Wow.

BeatGear, I think...

http://www.guitar-parts.com/content/estore_details.asp?category=20&product=840 It doesn't say so anywhere on the page, but the linked bridge above is the "rocking" version that's designed for Bigsby equipped guitars. That may be all that's produced now, but there are non-rocking (stif...
