It's just arrived... Of all the places something like this could have come from, it came from Cash Converters. Yup. Good old Cash Converters. I took a huge punt on it when I noticed Aloce Cooper's autograph. Certainly wasn't anywhere near convinced it was legitimate when I bought it. But... having spent most of last night trying to find any information, I managed to find the 4 photos of Alice, Steven, Francis, Rick and Ian. All holding this guitar, and all with signature markings on the guitar they are holding that match exactly this one I now have in hand. I reached out to Warwick Stone (anyone that Watches Pawn Stars would know him as the British chap that values all of their Rock memorabilia). He responsed by email yesterday after having seen the guitar and the photos I posted here and confirmed it was legitimate. I've also reached out directly to Ian Hunter and Jeff Wayne (as I found their email addresses) as well as Gibson's current CEO, Cesar. Hopefully one of those will respond and be able to give me some more clues as to some of the other signatures! A hell of a find...

Breaking up is hard to do - Neil Sedaka

Just a thought, should we not have a category for ‘Heft’?

Looks good for me as well

Tayda do?! Slightly daft response - but also buying new from them probably isn't that much different from buying secondhand and postage ontop...

I'm surprised that Universal Audio haven't dabbled into bass amp territory yet with their UAFX range. I have their Fender and Vox recreations and they are very, very good.

9th good for me too just over two hours away

Does anyone have an interesting colour/finish 1590B enclosure they don’t want? Undrilled. Si

Thanks Dude! appreciate it!

I would have thought so considering a stacked pot counts as two.

It may be worth checking this out in the meantime: https://www.broughtonaudio.com/product-page/fliptop

Number of controls: does a push-pull pot count as two controls (one pot plus one switch)?

I used one of the amps from this range a few weeks back, was quite physically small and had to be pushed on the volume so I think was the lowest wattage model. But the sound was great, all 4 bands used it, a variety of different sounds, handled them all. What I really liked was that the lows were really tight and solid but no booming, a really good full bottom end but all notes had definition.

Ibanez SRF705 Number of strings: 5 Number of frets : 32 (30 plus 2 bonus points for unlined) Scale length : 34 Number of pickups: 3 or 7 (5 individual bridge piezos) Number of controls (switches/knobs) : 6 or 11 (5 trim pots for piezo accessible at rear) Adjudication required on number of pickups and number of controls

Origin Effects would kill it if they do bring out a B-15 model... I have their SVT and the Blackface models, and they are amazing for tracking in the studio if you can't use the real thing or for sending to FOH in a gig (for Festivals and/or shared stages it's a lifesaver). What other bass amps do you think OG should cover down the road? I wouldn't mind some Hiwatt, Orange... or even something a bit more obscure such as a Traynor.

Can confirm it does nothing if the sgt footswitch is off.I also have one for sale if op would like!😎

First Bass Owned: Early 2000's Ibanez SR400NT (still have it!) 'Go To' Bass: 1979 Yamaha BB1200 - Such a buttery sound, lots of punch, infinite sustain... a P-Bass annihilator 'Your' Bass: MIJ Fender Mustang - The thinner neck of the Japanese models, the shorter scale and the punchiness of flatwound strings, it sits perfectly in mixes that don't require a "modern" sound.
