  1. Music Man over Fender. Fender over Sterling. G&L’s are an excellent option.

     

    Pickup configuration in order of preference:

     

    Music Man dual

    Fender P/J

    Fender P bass

    G&L dual

    Fender J bass

     

    Also consider a Korean Spector Legend 5. Fabulous instrument. Can be had in a P/J active configuration or dual HB active. Well balanced, light and infinitely playable.

     

  2. Deej, That Elder's React vid was awesome. My youngest, the drummer, is a huge Zep/Bonzo fan (I steered him in that direction as soon as he picked up the sticks. You're welcome.) and has been pushing GVF on me. The kid has pipes and they've got a good groove but their songs are weak and derivative. But, then, they're really young. They do have promise.

    I don't know if I can forgive those folks for not knowing The Crunge. As a bassist it's been a favorite for a looooong time.

  3. I’ll add that if there is any cracking in the body or bracing it may indeed be a good idea to have that inspected. While it may not be one of the more valuable examples it’s still a Martin and it obviously has a great deal of sentimental value to you.

  4. PhD, I’d be more concerned with fret wear on a guitar that age. The finish issues are all patina to me and many others. There are several guys on here that have recs for Martin luthiers and have had older pieces restored. I say “pieces” because a couple of them are museum quality. Maybe consult with them about the direction you want to pursue.

    Just a proposal since this is a new site, is there any chance that we can have a weight limited NSAA AND a Vic Mackey BBW NSAA for those of us who might not be able to FAP to Vic's fetish of choice?

  6. @Chad, hahahaha. I still have the plastic film on the Firebird. I’ve long since abandoned the idea of reselling it. Well, everything’s for sale. Except my mom. We lost her in ‘79. 

    PhD, I should’ve negged you for holding out. Welcome to the thread, brother!
