1970

It sounds exactly like the first 7 seconds of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J37mp0JJCE Neck is a chunky P shape. Plays like a dream. The headstock has had the typical repair, but I think most of them have this or the piece missing altogether. I don't know what the strings are - they're not nylons... They sound incredible... they are black and they each have a different colour cotton coating thing at the end where they're wound... Anyone know what they are? Upper horn isn't even noticeable when I play it (so far).

Wanted one of these for so long, but prices seemed a bit high and they were always in the US... found a nice chap in South Africa who did me a deal.

I'll take the pepsi challenge

I love my lightweight head (Peavey MkIV - 19kgs)

It's the inside of the gatefold of Fun House LP.

Nice - I have a '65 mosrite as well! Mine's identical but in sunburst. The blue is my absolute favourite colour though. Here's why: If I had seen it before you I have no doubt it would be in my hands now.

alcohol.

Same with mine - older compact 1x15. Series 2 I think.

And yes I did feel that the cone was being pushed too much - it was flappy and woofy at higher volumes.

I used a BF compact (1x15) with a matamp GT200 for quite a while - but I wasn't impressed, it just didn't do the amp justice. Moved on to a matamp 2x12 and haven't looked back. I've heard good things about the 2x15s though. But there's definitely something about the one-handed lift at the end of a big night - it's a lifesaver.

very nice... I'd love to try bass through a GT120 or OR120, never have before.

hmmm nice, but i'm gagging for a short scale single pup model... someone make me one? something about the design screams short scale to me...

Anyone got one? Have the ever been reissued? are they short scale? Keen for some pics if anyone out there is an owner... really curios about these things.

I wouldn't put it down to nirvana fans, probably more like lawsuit-era-MIJ fans, such as myself...

GAS is like herpes. It never goes away. You'll get a flare up, mark my words.

so the eagle will be import only?

think it's just a phase - been looking at rigs of bob weston and buzz osborne, who both use rack poweramps with their pre of choice.

no just investigating the possibility of a cool rack setup for reliability. Preamp selection is quite difficult.

ah cool - 4mm banana, that's the ticket.
