What does 'old school' do? (I'm imagining a number of ways this could be applied...)

This amp was in the rental studio last night and I really liked the sound. Anybody else ever use one of these?

Just looking at the pictures of this bass again, and noticed another detail I'd not seen before. There is what appears to be a couple wires leading to the E-string side of the fingerboard. For... LED's? Not mentioned in the Christie's auction description. Never heard that it had them.


What I see is most visible in pictures 5 & 7-

Prog Rock Girl is a reworking of The Dead Milkmen's 'punk rock girl', for those that don't know...good one...

Manring, improvision.

That is a very cool story. I wish all the stories were complete for Goliath. Lost to time I suppose. The Reverb buyer 6 years ago never received the power supply, cable, photos / notes / paperwork from the seller.  ( search Reverb for Goliath and see the trove of photos...including with Entwistle )There was also a custom Dragon strap at one time but is now lost. It would be neat, like the movie The Yellow Rolls Royce.  It chronicled the cars owners / stories over its lifespan.  I have the names of at least 4 owners.  It languished in a music store in CT for years.  I think it spent 20 years in Germany.  And most recently, six years in a closet in LA.  It was briefly stolen (about 20 minutes) from a car in a Manhattan parking garage. Neat stories.  Leviathan lived for 30 years (1980-2010) under a bed.  The Orphan (1996 6-string Classico) was spotted in 1998 in the shipping department of the Mothership (Mary's domain) by me on my first shop tour.  It was dusty, gutted of electronics and propped against the wall.  I was going to place an order for a Classico at the end of the tour......and there it was!  I bought it immediately from Susan via the Seattle authorized dealer at the time.  I came back the next day and it was all cleaned up and complete!  I didn't know at the time that there are a few "night owls" at the Mothership!  It is on a stand in my living room now for the last 28 years.  I enjoy it everyday.  Had sturdy custom stands made for Leviathan & Goliath and they keep The Orphan company. I don't have children or pets so nothing to tip them over.......except maybe an earthquake ....... And the stands have retaining straps on the necks so it's really got to be a rattler to knock them down.

Did the Ricks flash randomly or were they frequency-specific? 

According to Google, the Ricks were red for high, yellow or green for mids, and blue for lows.

Kind of like Mike Gordon's bass

Nice!  Looks like it's in really good shape, and even includes the power supply.
