Further back in time (to 1971)...
Posted: Wed Feb 23, 2011 1:22 am
Well I finally got my mitts on it:
Took the jumper off the cap (mwahaha) and put some Super Slinkies on. I guess those were TI flats (not a fan - like limp rubberbands!)...
Controls are a little strange, maybe wired funny (the pup switch seems to be BASS|BASS+TREBLE|BASS+TREBLE), but I can deal with that later this week.
This bass is incredibly sweet, a stunning finish...ran through some Yes and "Hemispheres," some Crimson, and it sounds and plays absolutely fantastic,
the lowest action and a very thin neck. Better than advertised!
I usually pick these up with some thought towards trading them "back" to something of older vintage, but it would be quite difficult to part with this one.
I got it on its stand near the TV (so I can look over at it) and I can't stop staring...
Big thanks to Kevin and the forum - without them this deal would not have been possible!
Happy Family
