and so, the LIVE thread ends... RIP Peter Tork. One of the few bassists brave enough to be filmed with a Guild Jet Star (what is it with the electrical tape over the name???)
Not sure it's actually tape, in the big blow-up on my tube it looks like it might just be a lighting artifact, also the logo itself was kind of unusually placed:
Notice how the reflection in that shot almost exactly mimics the effect in the shot of Pete's bass below, but over the area where the logo is.
But hard to be sure.
We've also seen reports that if a maker wouldn't "comp" the TV show on the basis of the "free advertising" the show's producers'd block out the logo.
I was going to rule that out, thinking the logo was visible on Pete's F30 in an episode it appeared in, but then realized that was
already Pete's guitar.
So, yeah might be obscured somehow.
On my big 21" diagonal screen it almost looks like it might actually have been sanded or scuffed, but the obscured area also appears to extend up to pegs and along that edge of the stock, and why would they do that?
Here's a LARGE shot from Mellowgerman's thread, if it helps:
EDIT: Here's another one that seems to indicate it wasn't all that easy to see under the best of conditions:
Pretty sure we're seeing the bottom edge of the logo there but no tape.
:friendly_wink:
I can see it today.

That's almost funny, now
I can't see it!
