Still using Rotosound, haven't experienced the other problems that posters here have cited...

One of my fave years for v63s but looks to be in very good shape...
Hope all you kids had a GREAT New Years, I hope ya'll been behavin' yerselves here in my absence!

That's just Ric-o-porn, somehow I just NEVER get tired of fireglo!
Now, Teeder, when you get tired of that bass, you need to sell it to me! Don't go throwing it in the trash, like you did with your '67 RM1999...

Yeah, and I like the neck profile of those early '90s models v63 and CS so much, I wouldn't want to take the yime to refinish, its a cool look even if it is more yellow than a Squire Ltd. Ed. should be...

This is a bit off topic, but a few years ago I acquired an early 4001CS made in 1991 and like many in the early numbers it has yellowed into what looks like a Yellow Cab limited edition. It plays like a dream and I love it, but I'm curious if there is any rubbing or polishing compound that will ...

Two toasters right in the middle there, what do they sound like? I would guess they might be more mid-rangy, perhaps?

I like them better than the C series basses, I just could never wrap my head around the reversed headstock, you shouldn't mess with what Roger Rossmiesl wrought!

No sign of any of ...

I can't look.... Oh the humanity!!!

Teeder, you told me that you'd taken your '67 RM 1999 and thrown it out in the trash!

I went there first, but then I found that they have gone to a subscription service at Talkbass, at $100 a year and frankly a lot of the back-biting I've seen over there made me hope I could find an answer here...

The one I have has only one light, but it turns red or green depending on whether standby is engaged. Its the '90s one that was manufactured during the time when Ampeg was owned by St Louis Music.

I was looking for a V4B back in the early aughts, found a V4BH on craigslist at a decent price, figured it was about the same thing, so I bought it. At first I figured it was practically the same as a V4B but now I've heard that this amp was designed to be a V4 that responded more like an SVT, which ...

Pag,
Where'd you see Yes on that 1977 tour? I saw them in Dallas, TX, fantastic show!

I have lusted after these basses since I first heard about them in the early '80s, but they quit making them before I was able to place my order. But I never heard much about George Cole, I was always under the impression that John Hall had a lot to do w its development. Is there talk of reissuing ...

I am loving following this thread! I'm kinda doubtful that it could be an original fretless, however I recently aquired a fretless Gibson Bicentennial Thunderbird made in 1976 that had its board replaced w an unlined ebony board. But in my case the reciept for the conversion was in the case. Thanks ...
