It does sound really good, I just wish the guy that sold it to me (the guy that owned it after you) would have mentioned the lack of "finished fingerboard skill" on the part of the guitar repairman who changed out the frets to '60's specs.sloop_john_b wrote:Glad to hear it Joey. It's one of the really good ones.
BTW, I never did get to the bottom of what the original owner told me - that the pickups were "re-wound by Lindy Fralin". Sure sounds good though!

Yeah, someone who once owned it, was a way over the top McCartney freak.sloop_john_b wrote:Yikes.rickenbrother wrote: It does sound really good, I just wish the guy that sold it to me (the guy that owned it after you) would have mentioned the lack of "finished fingerboard skill" on the part of the guitar repairman who changed out the frets to '60's specs.
I wonder if Brian Simer knows anything, he lives there.Brother Firefingers wrote:I had a '75 or so 4080 doubleneck in white, bass and six-string.....Pawned it for $180.00 back in 1983 or so in Boise, Idaho when I was hard up for money... never did get it back, and haven't been able to track it down.
Would love to have that bass back. It meant a lot to me. Also had a cool early 70's 4001 fretless that I wouldn't mind having back!

Sorry, couldn't resist!

That sounds great! The bass coupled with the guitar line is quite nice.sloop_john_b wrote:I don't regret a lot of them, but a few really jump out at me:
- 1993 4001v63, which Da Modfather now rocks. I would love to buy it back someday. I used it on one of my favorite recordings and used to gig with it all the time. It had a great neck, a beautiful Fireglo, and a wonderful sound.
- 1987 381v69. This was a really magnificent guitar, and one of the earliest 381 reissues. Someone had put scatterwound Toasters in it, and paired with a Janglebox it made some wonderful noise. I also used this one on a lot of recordings and always got a great sound. (Apologies for the out-of-place cookers. What was I thinking?)
- 2004 660/12. Just a wonderful 12'er in every way.
