Is the switch an on.off for the pickup or some type of tone enhancement?

the switch is a cut off switch. funny thing, when i took the pickguard off to fix the jack, turns out the tone knob isn't connected at all and there is another pickup cavity at the neck.

i wouldnt dream of refinishing it. the neck is very clean and it plays well enough for what it is. i like beat up old shit

LOVE that thing ashdown! She's perfect. I like beat up old shit too. Teisco ya think?

I was guessing Kay or Kimberly

Regardless it is sweet

so they routed all the guitars the same regardless of pickups
Economy of scale

Yeah, don't refinish that thing, you will kill the mojo

i don't want to completely refinish it.. just sand off the first layer and reseal it with clear boat paint.. i just can't stand non shiny sparkly guitars... jk.. but srsly.. that pickguard grosses me out pretty hard

dat L-1000 is fucking hot.

Do you still have that sweet-ass green sparkle Big Al? I think it was a Big Al, anyway...

I sold the Green Big Al. The White Big Al is my favorite bass ever and I fell in love with the Wunkay. Between wanting a decent guitar, digging the Wunkay and the value of the Dargie Big Al being as much as it is, it made sense to flip it. Sadly and realistically, I don't really need two identical basses.

teh mojoz were the main motivation behind this purchase. the pickguard is pretty dirty but i don't mind it

pretty sure it is a teisco. headstock is blank on the front but on the back there are two metal labels pinned on that say 'made in japan' and 'no. 2266'

It could be a Kawai too. Is the headstock ridiculously huge and reminiscent of a pole-axe?

Lowel baritone. I got it second hand. GFS p-90s is all i know about the pickups.


ESP VB-400- I replaced the EMGs with bareknuckle nailbomb humbuckers. the shiny area is just where the matte finish is polished with Rock.

I use the ESP a bit more, It is better for my overall live tone. Recording, I can;t wait to see what the lowel sounds like. Such a crisp guitar.

Fuck you, times three.
That Hi-Flyer is hot.

that mosrite is cute

I've been looking at the Nailbomb as a possible pickup upgrade, how ya liking it?

I have nothing but praise for bareknuckle pickups. If you email them, and tell them what kind of music you are playing, and what guitar you are thinking of putting the pickups in, tim will direct you to what makes your guitar sound great, not what makes him more money. When i bought the nailbombs, i was looking at the war pigs, and tim flat out told me to get the nailbombs for what my band does. They are crisp pickups, great clarity, and the descriptions on line are damn near perfect (as far as the voicing of the pickup). My sound made leaps forward when i put the bkp's in. I'm a pretty diehard bareknuckle fan now, and can not imagine replacing pickups on a guitar without going back to tim first.

I love how it's like a hall going in. I call it "The Hall of Music".
