Another milestone! Today marks the fact that since I started this, Fifty Thousand visitors have dropped into my Bass & Guitar Blog! Mainly, Bass, I have to admit. :)
I think most are looking for information on a make or model that they are either looking for or that they have had in the past.
I get e.mails from all sorts of people, from all over the world, either asking a specific question or to tell me that they "had one of those"
I have several really interesting instruments lined up but I have either not got round to taking the shots or I have some but am not happy with them.
So. . . . . I really must get onto that.
Anyway, off to rehearsal tonight, I'll catch ya later.
As I need to get some more decent shots of several others I have mentioned, I thought just for today, I will introduce you to the smallest Peavey T-60, in the world!!!
I came across this and thought, I must have that!!
I have a friend who has a Telecaster, another has a Martin D28 and someone else I know, has a Fender Precision. . . . . . . . . . . Lapel Badge!!!!!!!!!!! :)
It's
hard
to
get
an
idea
of
the
scale
until
you
see
this!!
The coin in a British 5 pence, which measures 18mm or 11/16" !!!
Tiny, isn't it! Never seen one of these before.
It has a lot of accurate detail on it and for anyone who likes the Peavey "T" range, is instantly recognisable.
Back next time with something interesting, promise.
So, having come across some old pics, the other day, I thought I would throw this into the ring!!
Jolana Basso. I bought this yonks ago to use on Bowie type stuff, Ziggy, etc but to be honest, I never got round to it, so it found a new home. Not sure what happened to it!
Built for a Budget, is perhaps the best way of describing it. Having said that, it had quite a nice deep sound.
Jolana made all sorts of guitars, including a Peavey T-40 "Tribute" and an attempt at a Gibson RD. There is a great site for "Eastern Block" guitars here: http://cheesyguitars.com/guitars_jolana.html
Well worth a look and very informative.
Gigged my Peter Cook Axis at the weekend - boy that thing has got some punch. Loved playing it.
Anyway, things to do - I will try and come back to you with something else interesting.
Yep, I do have a few but they are slowly diminishing, as I work my way through some of the collection I have enjoyed.
This one was part of the trilogy - two Precisions and a Jazz. The two precisions have now found new homes and I was going to hang onto this one but. . . . . .
I lent this to a friend, about 5 years ago, on rather a long loan. I had it back and although loving it, I nearly parted with it to another friends bass player but couldn't go through with it. Anyway, it's a long story but it has now ended up with the the friend who had it in the first place! With me so far?? :)
Just a joy to play - it just feels so right, I think it has something to do with the colour. Lovely rosewood board, period bridge - close your eyes a little and you get a feeling that this bass is 50 years old. I know where it is, so it's not like we have parted company, just changed owners. :)
So, it's bye bye to the Pink Jazz.
Next time, I'll do another '62 - a Sunburst one, very nice! Two Fender basses in two posts. . . whatever next!
