Looks like the original listing is this one : [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1966-FENDER-JAZZ-BASS-Candy-Apple-Red-Electric-Guitar-175586-Beautiful-Vibrant-/191776005808?rmvSB=true&clk_rvr_id=1164824057749&nma=true&si=rmY2MJoujbuake33RsI3mkG9JXk%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1966-FENDER-JAZZ-BASS-Candy-Apple-Red-Electric-Guitar-175586-Beautiful-Vibrant-/191776005808?rmvSB=true&clk_rvr_id=1164824057749&nma=true&si=rmY2MJoujbuake33RsI3mkG9JXk%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557[/url] Andy

Made by Teisco, probably 1960s - a very similar bass was under the silvertone brand : [url="http://guitarz.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/silvertone-1490-bass-by-teisco.html"]http://guitarz.blogs...-by-teisco.html[/url] Andy 8)

I think the second guitarist is Lyle Workman. Andy

Sold Sam my Marshall Drivemaster - nice easy transaction Andy

My suggestion would be to get a folk-style guitar - these are full scale but with a smaller body. Fender do a basic one at around the £100 mark : [url="http://www.pmtonline.co.uk/fender-cf-60-folk-acoustic-guitar-natural"]http://www.pmtonline.co.uk/fender-cf-60-folk-acoustic-guitar-natural[/url] Andy

I think it's one of these : [url="http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/potentiometers/7293697/"]http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/potentiometers/7293697/ [/url] Full Spec is here : [url="http://www.alps.com/prod/info/E/HTML/Potentiometer/RotaryPotentiometers/RK12L12/RK12L12_list.html"]http://www.alps.com/prod/info/E/HTML/Potentiometer/RotaryPotentiometers/RK12L12/RK12L12_list.html[/url] Alps RK12L 10kohm linear - I did have a bit of help from this thread here : [url="http://www.yamahaforums.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5941"]http://www.yamahaforums.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5941[/url] - Assuming the marking are the same as that thread then it should be the correct replacement - will depend on the shaft length and shaft diameter. RS link was the first uk hit I came to. Andy

There should be a date on the speakers which should match the dating codes on the celestion site : [url="http://celestion.com/speakerworld/guitartech/50/Understanding_Driver_Date_Codes/"]http://celestion.com/speakerworld/guitartech/50/Understanding_Driver_Date_Codes/[/url] I have a feeling the G12/50 was early 80s but I might be wrong. Andy

I found a couple on the line 6 site that I like : Thin Lizzy - Dancing in the moonlight - [url="http://line6.com/customtone/tone/119074/"]http://line6.com/customtone/tone/119074/[/url] Police - Walking on the moon - [url="http://line6.com/customtone/tone/203861/"]http://line6.com/customtone/tone/203861/[/url] Beyond that I tend to go for the Marshall Major through a 4x12 for a nice 70s rock tone (despite using an 80s-style bass ) Andy

The 863-865 band (also referred to as channel 70) is still legal. Details of which frequencies are legal can be found here [url="http://www.canford.co.uk/Technical/Article/UKLegalRadioMicFrequencies"]http://www.canford.co.uk/Technical/Article/UKLegalRadioMicFrequencies[/url] Andy

I fitted my 12-string with a fishman infinity pickup - the controls mount in the soundhole so is a relatively easy install with just the piezo to mount under the saddle and the endpin output jack. Details of it are here : [url="http://www.fishman.com/products/series/matrix/matrixinfinity.php"]http://www.fishman.com/products/series/matrix/matrixinfinity.php[/url] - cost is about £150. Andy

Bought some Status strings from Lawrence - good guy to deal with. Andy

Looks like a Chris Shiflett Signature model which is based on a 1970s Telecaster deluxe : [url="http://intl.fender.com/en-GB/guitars/telecaster/chris-shiflett-telecaster-deluxe-rosewood-fingerboard-arctic-white/"]http://intl.fender.com/en-GB/guitars/telecaster/chris-shiflett-telecaster-deluxe-rosewood-fingerboard-arctic-white/[/url] So the bass counterpart would be the Nate Mendel signature? [url="http://intl.fender.com/en-GB/basses/precision-bass/nate-mendel-p-bass-rosewood-fingerboard-candy-apple-red/"]http://intl.fender.com/en-GB/basses/precision-bass/nate-mendel-p-bass-rosewood-fingerboard-candy-apple-red/[/url] I tried the Shiflett signature and liked it but couldn't justify it when I have a Les Paul and a 62 Telecaster Custom re-issue Andy

The flame still burns by Strange Fruit - not sure why but it does! [url="https://youtu.be/YvWC0FeuStg"]https://youtu.be/YvWC0FeuStg[/url] Andy

That bridge and gold hardware were used on "The Strat" in the early 80s but it only came with a painted, slightly odd-shaped headstock. [url="http://www.guitarsplus.com.au/fender-strat"]http://www.guitarsplus.com.au/fender-strat[/url] The neck looks more like a 57 reissue neck with the early logo, single string guide, nickel/chrome vintage tuners (I would expect the tuners to be gold to match the rest of the hardware) and body-end truss rod adjustment. Might be a bitsa? Andy

Looks like a Vantage VS-series, possibly a VS600B? [url="http://www.musicgoround.com/p/403429/used-vantage-vs600b-bass-guitar-brown"]http://www.musicgoround.com/p/403429/used-vantage-vs600b-bass-guitar-brown[/url] Andy

I had a parcel from Thomann last year that was sent DHL paket and it arrived via parcelforce. Andy

Just put a pedal board together, having been a guitar straight to amp type for a long time. Pedal board is by Coffin Case and the order is : Fender Tele > Peterson Stobostomp 2 > Marshall ED1 (Edward the Compressor) > Marshall Drivemaster > Marshall RF1 (Chorus/Flanger) > Marshall DSL401. Still experimenting with the settings as to what suits me but it sounds fairly good so far. Andy 8)

The Steinberger case is the SHC-101 which Thomannn stocked until recently - keep an eye on their site as sometimes the cases re-appear (certainly they stopped stocking the xl case and it's back again). The other option is to use a gun case or a keyboard case and cut foam to fit. Andy
