Lorne Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 So,a possibility arose for me to get back one of my basses I sold 15 years ago,My BCR Eagle was a very firm favorite to be heading out of the door,but as the owner was a 5 string player,he decided to take my Yamaha John Myung instead (I'm REALLY missing it already ) The Bass I got back is one of the 2 1979 Bich 8 strings I used to own,it has slight issues with it's electrics,not bassy enough,but Both pre-amps work and the Varitone kinda works,I'm hoping it's just dirt,It worked a bit better once I used servicsol on it,but if needs be it'll eventually get new pick ups and a new Varitone Anyway,let me re-introduce you to "Barbara" my old 1979 Koa and Flame Maple Bich 8 string bass Now to get some more money together and get another Yamaha John Myung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Sucks about losing the JM - though the price should come down a bit for a new one now he's using Musicman. And nice stand for the Ironbird . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
