Also seen him with a Shoreline Gold fiver. I’ve only just noticed that the Soloking doesn’t have a drop D tuner, so not quite an exact tribute in that respect.

ead Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Do we know what those two switches do yet? Are we thinking that they are the same series/parallel coil switches for each pickup as they original bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 The Roscoe Beck CAR matching headstock haunted me for years. I eventually had a J5 resprayed and have now scratched that itch. I still look at every RB advert that comes up just in case! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 it's one of the few itches I've not scratched bass wise - ild like too. Need to move something on to make space for it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Had blue one in my basket twice in 48 hours. I can’t do it - I know I’d fawn for a few days and then decide I don’t need it. Anyhow… Something else is coming for a visit to see if it’s the right “glass slipper” for this particular Cinderella. And it’s a proper “meet your hero” moment. So, Soloking…close but no cigar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnutkj Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Phew! It's got a Tele-style "cup" jack socket, which don't work with L-shaped jacks very well. Total deal-breaker, GAS averted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
