  1. msb started following Hollow body madness! , Farewell Danny Thompson and Valve Amp - who’s still using them?

    I loved Pentangle , and the Martyn songs , and I felt gutted when I heard he passed. I’ve looked up a lot of YouTube videos in the last several days. Legend.

    Mine had been modded by previous owners , Badass bridge , Jazz pickup , but I liked the mods. one of my regrets. Still have the fretted rosewood , 72 too. I was once a Pbass guy. Not so much now , I’ve come to prefer shortscales.

    Love that maple fretless , used to have one , regret selling it. Mine was a 72.

    I had several of those 50 Bassman heads , wound up selling them to guitar players. Great little heads , and not all that heavy.

    Welcome , my first shortscale was a Longhorn , one of the first reissues in the late 90’s. And at first I really did not care for the shorter scale. Somehow the more I played it , the more I liked it. And for many years was my primary bass. My number 1 today is a medium scale. I prefer the shorter scale , but it’s a lovely bass.

    Thank you , I’m a bit nerdy about the stuff. I’m really just an old school thumper that likes a big , fat , rich , old school thump , and I’m ok with little Class D heads for home practice , for gigs I break out the tube preamp. I have too many amps , but just the right amount of cabs.

    It’s the Korean reissue of the Harmony H22 , a friend has a 62 original , interesting to compare them.

    These two are my current favourites , both hollow bodies. The big orange Gretsch is the main one , just picked up the batwing.

    Here’s that amp he built for me. Simple straightforward power amp. It suites me preamp perfectly. He has built quite a few preamps based on the classic B-15.

    Before Epiphone consolidated their production to a single factory there were various Korean factories making them , two of the factories were Peerless and Unsung , that produced some of their higher end models. Their work was excellent.

    We had become Facebook friends. He’s simply a tone nut , and loves to test and compare things , and is a builder. And with his YouTube channel , he can share that. I like to think I’m nerdy about such things but he has taken that to another level. And I love and respect that. He is a great guy. I’d love to meet him in person some day. The amp he built for me is a straight 500 watt power amp to power a preamp. I use it on every gig.

    Thank you for posting that. Jo built an amp for me last year.

    I had a Rivoli , and regret selling it . I have a big orange 5123B , with TVJones pickups. It has a deep woody tone that is rich and articulate. Best sounding hollow body I’ve found.
  15. msb
    There’s nothing quite like a big hollow body Gretsch.

    I had been looking for a bat winged Harmony for some years , and had also told myself that I was not going to import any more guitars from the US. When it happens , it happens. I love this bass , it’s a classic thumper.
