much better!

there is also a third logo, also made by Mueller, with a lower case "g," like on my bass: and oh hey @The Guilds of Grot, looks like you're missin a couple! 🤪🤣🤟

too bad it's a 12-fretter...guess i'll have to find a different 2 million dollar acoustic with a floating bridge and archtop tailpiece.

the bass that gave love a bad name

i would keep the 62 T-100-D for sure

That truss rod cover is original to the bass, it came from the factory upside-down. When Guild switched to these tuners, they had to flip the TRC. This has come up before. Shortly after this bass was built, they strated stamping the TRC's with the model designation. A lefty surfaced here...

Eastmans are fine i'm sure, but to me they are nothing so special. I actully had an odd first impression of one. Remember it is always the player that will make the guitar sing (unless you find a really, really, bad guitar). So, get whatever guitar you want. If it were me, I would get a...

oh yeah those are plump birds. check out @mellowgerman's photo of the M-85 next to the Starfire bass: https://letstalkguild.com/ltg/index.php?attachments/img_20230518_194949588-2-jpg.56624/

I saw that, figured it was an aristocrat, but didn't really examine it. a closer look reveals neck mounted to body at 16th fret.

here's something you dont see every day, Ms. Crow and Ms. Price (pregnant) next to each other, with the solid M-85-1 and hollow M-85-1 also next to each other. from a few years ago. not the best angle, but you can see the difference in the big Westerly bass headstock and the smaller Hoboken...

we have seen her M-85-1 before, it has popped up here at LTG, it has been a while. She does own several M-85's. Generaly she is seen with the solid body M-85-2. However, she does own a hollow M-85 with Bisonic, also. I don't think she tours with that one. I have seen a picture of it...

yes it is from your 1970 SF cherry red bass. in fact the choke has a '097020' stamp that may possibly reference 20th week 1970

Hey @mellowgerman do the parts in this photo look familliar? guess where they came from

here is a photo of the suck switch components in the circuit, that cause the unwanted results. two extra green chicklet caps, a random resistor, and a transformer. here is a deep-hard circuit (the black square is the mini-switch): both basses are single-pickup, in the neck position, specimens.

The suck switch has a transformer/coil/choke (whatever you want to call it), on a single coil pickup, which is the specific source of the tone-suckage. In my experience it is mainly a (big) signal/volume drop. The deep hard switch, simply put, does not have this (or any)...

I have a MV knob, pmd you

"I would increase the Alnico magnets in the pickups," to me qualifies as a hot rodding. It definitely sounds like a signal boost. If he says he did the same in his other Guilds, that makes sense, those sound similar, but those also have extensive electronic mods.

That flying v jetstar bass circiutry and/or its bisonics may have been hot rodded by Wickersham or Alembic. Somone posted a while ago that there is a photo where it looks like the cable is a 5-pin like for an Alembic. To me, i'm not sure, but it sounds like something is active or hot rodded...

maybe this is a better pic of the serial? different lighting I suppose
