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]

I think the second guitarist is Lyle Workman.

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]

Small Bump.

Andy

Having a bit of re-arrangement of my guitar pedals and this one has been deemed surplus.

1998 Marshall Drivemaster overdrive/distortion pedal
Very good condition - a few scratches and the battery cover is missing (the battery covers never fitted well on these).
Comes with original box and instructions.

Looking for £45 + post (about £4.50 for UK 2nd class recorded) or nearest offer.

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.

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]

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.

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!

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]

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.

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

Still available.
