The amplifier section would toast itself ย every couple years and theย green carpet cab was getting kinda shaggy so I built a new cab for the Celestion 12โ and run it with the little Orange amp.

Ill own some more tube amps at some point. ย My old favorite was this Mesa/Boogie MkIII combo with the EVM-12L speaker. Seen here with a couple of Ibanez RGโs I used to own.

Invidiosulus Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Some previous basses. ย Godin A4 fretless, chambered maple body with a western red cedar top. L.R. Baggs under saddle pickup. Very nice but I never quite gelled with it. Itโs moved on to a good home. ย 1977 Fender Jazz Bass. Active Seymour Duncan pickups. the absolute best fret job Iโve ever played on a bass courtesy of Bruce Bennett. Even though I tripled my money on this one, I still kick myself for letting it go. ย 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the real Duke Spinner Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 Are You a SS amp guy, or into the bellowing tube Sunn bass sound aka Felix Papalardi ?? Either is ok with me .. I get confused looking for the missing two strings on Bass. ๐คช 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never bonded with them .. still have one, but never use it I have gone to PreAmp, Poweramp setup Marshall JMP 1, and 20/20 stereo power amp I have the matching Marshall stereo 12" cab to match 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I always played SS bass amps. I really liked Gallien-Krueger stuff, easy to dial in a bit of growl without getting flubby. ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWelsh Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I have an old guitar I picked up several years ago that no one seems to know much about. Perhaps one of you will know something. ย One story I found while doing internet research is that this was an early demo guitar made by a Japanese manufacturer to show American guitar companies that they were capable of building a good product. The thing is built like a tank and plays and sounds really nice. It's just a little oddly shaped and sized. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 That's a nice looking guitar, and not an odd body shape at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 So... here's the Eko 12 string. Probably around '66. I think my brother scanned this old print, and it is rather low res. Notice the madras plaid sport coat... ย And one I posted elsewhere before... a couple years later up in Platteville, WI, playing a friends Guild D-40. ย ย ย ย 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWelsh Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 It is a nice guitar, but it is kind of a smallish dreadnaught extra wide at the shoulders and very flat at the tail end. I have a feeling it is modeled on a classic guitar rather than a steel string. ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have said off the top of my head that it was similar to a Martin OOO body style but it does look flatter at the lower bout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 A high school friend of mine played a Harmony Sovereign, until we both picked up our Martin D-28s. They were (and still are if you can find them), pretty nice guitars. Also has a rather flat bottom.

CWelsh Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 When I had tried to research my Shiro guitar just after I bought it (about 15 years ago), I had a hard time finding much. Now there seems to be quite a bit out there. I just found this: " Shiro guitars were built by the Aria factories in Japan between the early 70's and early 80's. The company was named after the founder of Aria guitars, Mr Shiro Arai." ย I found some pictures of similar models from the early 70's that have the same headstock shape and truss rod cover, but include a Shiro label. They also appear to be slightly differently shaped. This makes me think the early prototype story may have some validity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Boss intends for there to be three compact pedals in this case. A little thought with placement and cabling fits five. ย 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
