  1. That G string looks like it could slide off the end of the fret with the slightest pressure. Does it do that, at all?
  2. No danger. Even if Ben is meant to now have the reins, you can bet that the little megalomaniac will be beavering away in the background.
  3. I saw somewhere on the 'net that they've opened a 'custom shop'. Perhaps this was a special order, rather than a sig?
  4. Anyone heard of S71 guitars? Those keys look odd on a full size Fender headstock. Burst '51
  5. They were band pass filters but were they ever marked as to what frequency bands were being bypassed?
  6. I fell in love with HH gear solely for that green backlight! Oh, how shallow is me! My first serious rig was an HH IC100S ('S' standing for 'Sustain', a horrible, fuzzy distortion) and a HH 2 x 15" cab. I pitied those guys lugging about a Peavey MkIV and the 215 BW cab. I once did a gig with the latter and help load it out!
  7. Seriously?? Did you not get robbed or slagged off?😁😁
  8. Man, I would have paid good coin to see that! My HH 2 x 15" cab had wheels on the bottom but I moved them to one of the sides. Great for loading up kit to wheel on the load-out.
  9. They were 'of their time', these things. I can see how those threads would get stripped.
  10. I remember one back in the mid '80s. It lived in a rehearsal room, covered in dust and beer-mould. When I played through it, it sounded like a fog-horn. The farting the speaker did when you dug in was interesting.
  11. He's still got the tuners. Rubbish or not, they'd be valubale for resale.
  12. These don't come up often. Anyone got an idea if the active circuit on these was anything like the later Precision Special?
  13. Back around '80-'82 I ran a 330 head into an HH 2 x 15" cab.
  14. Could be a 'cap' if no skunk-stripe. But what's that white stuff at the start of the neck itself??
  15. Rubber gloves? What are you afraid of? Appearance and aesthetics aside, the above Jazz is a testament to Mark's skill in the relicing process. And that's something I admire: his skill.
  16. Bet they do! I recall learning Upright at school. When I started the class (it was an offshoot of the main music class) there was only one bass there, a new-ish one. It had a hard, aggressive tone and two other students said 'wait until the old one comes back from repair.' When it did, I fell in love with it. Not just for the tone but for the way it looked.
  17. I first saw one of these with an AH250 behind Mark King on the OGWT. I craved one of them but was ever so grateful when they brought out separate 4 x 10 cabs.
