Not sure why on the hole- I've never seen pics with a toggle switch located there, which is the only logical explanation I can find. I have certainly heard some other strange theories though...JakeK wrote:Was it ever discovered WHY there was a big hole in the lower horn of Pete's first 1998?
Collin, do you have pics of the headstock repair? What kind of amps do you use with it? To really be like Pete, try and find a 60's Fender Bassman! That was his rig in the old days (I'm sure you know that he ran the Bassman through the Marshall 4X12s until they switched over to VOX in July of 1965).
As for the amp- my intention is never to "really be like Pete." (read: I just dig a guitar like his). My usual amp is either a Fender Blues Deville (poorman's 4x10 Bassman) or a Marshall Bluesbreaker 2x12 combo. Course I know about PT's blond early bassman head! He also used Marshall JTM heads before playing vox. Whatevs...
