That must have been an ancient e-mail or posting, and it was clearly written "off-the-cuff" without the benefit of having the actual components handy at the time (e.g., "as I recall," "if memory serves me correctly," etc.). The three individual volume pots were 250K (not 500K), the 2nd tone cap was ...

Model 370/12-- This was the three pickup
model played by Roger McGuinn of the
Byrds.
Although not listed as a regular
production model until June 1980, the fac-
tory consistently made 370/12 guitars after
the mid 1960s. Some had the special wiring
used by McGuinn, the so-called Byrd wiring ...

Peter, at least one thing is known about Byrds music: it was uncommonly loud ("music written in voltage") and evidently meant to be experienced that way. There is little doubt that it was also originally intended to be experienced on drugs (see thread archive ).

Thanks must be given to His Supreme Rogness who not only uploaded the large scan of George, but also celebrates 61 years of age on Sunday, July 13, 2003.

Benjamin: Try the mpeg newsgroups, or maybe Kazaa, etc.

Paul: Gene Clark was not in The Byrds in March 1967.

John: How do you extract jpegs from mpeg video?

Don: March 1967 video would be right after the February release of YTY.

Peter, you may wish to feast your eyes on this (or this!).

To view a March 1967 Byrds video featuring Hillman playing the mystery P-bass with the 2+2 headstock, click here. Cool Rickenbacker shots, too.

Thank you kindly, Peter. It's always a work in progress.

Tim Connors' informative and once-thriving ByrdWatcher website appears not to have been updated since 1999. And since the recent demise of Richard Russell's Byrdmaniax website, Raoul Verolleman's Byrds Flyght is probably the most current and happening Byrds website on the "www", with perhaps the ...

Yes, nice to see the Forum come alive once again. BTW, Mark, I thought the Seattle area was on PDT.
