Thanks, Em. I remember you remarking on the sound of that bass when I posted last year's video. I only play bass once a year for the one song usually, but when I do, the Jack Casady makes me feel like a badass. Happy Holidays!
Good memory - have a very weak spot for J.C.s here. (and btw. listened to a couple of other versions after enjoying your version)
Same back to you.

Played it yesterday through a Marshall JVM.
They can get pretty bright when full on, but playing around we the knobs can definitely balance it perfectly.
Also, the way the volume knobs affects the output is pretty amazing.
Each number on the knob is there for a reason (for a change from past experience where it's full on at 10 or a slight change when rolling back and then nothing)
Thx. Yes lots of possibilities in those 4 knobs, , , which logic I haven't really figured. .
Can I ask - have you noticed a film over the spanking new P-guard ?

This tops previous greetings ▲ - and how for a kool song ☃
May that Casady 4-string continue to guide you through rain fog sun blizzards & bliss

I never said they weren't talented. I just never considered them as serious musicians.
They would do whatever called upon to make a buck, but with those dollars comes a lack of credibility.
Get ya. .

Could be very intriguing to hear what he has to say about Ian. The young version, , , the middle and the contemporary still living Anderson. .

Let's lean back, Murph, , , and share a good strong glass 🍸. . .

I think their disco decision made them a lot of money, but cost them a lot of respect.
I never think of them as serious musicians, just a disco act.
In my view they are extremely talented. Clearly recall their decline (some kitsch mid-70s Sgt. Pepper record !?!) and later the disco-phase which sent them circling in orbit. Wasn't on that team either, yikes, they booked the space, , , but also then knew a good song when it happens. .
I'd like to see the person who'll screw this one down >>>>

I was not active in guitar stuff in the 70s, life kept getting in the way of my 60s musicality. But, I'm guessing if I'd had the dinero, and time ... I would have jumped at the chance to own a "NorlinGibson'. The concept has been generally kicked about on a wider stage - that it is really 'Not Fair' to judge historical events and peoples based on current values, tastes, culture, and new scientific findings. Sort of like saying - "Why didn't Columbus buy Manhattan from the Indians before the Dutch West India Company did? "
Point taken - my question was primarily meant as a general question. Who and who didn't understand the significant change of the acoustic Gibsons from 1968/70 and many years on. Talkin 'lay-people' and pros. The Gibbs, who I liked a lot over the many decades, especially in the early phase, would very hard to figure there. They used acoustics yes, but never in that serious singersongwriter way where the Norlin-effects would stand out. And for a good solid strummed rhythm-part inside a song there's even a chance the tight N will be better.

As to Norlin, there are some who believe any Norlin Gibson is trash. Not going to waste my breath defending Norlin. This is not the hill for me to die on.
I'll have to look into the CBS phenomenon.
And agree, , , a good well kept and seriously broken in Norlin can be a fine experience - a different one though. .

That was mighty good - and the dread sounds distinguished proud. Lots of authority in both song- and wood-work.

Only 1 respons ~
Wonder if the bros. ever realized they went Norlin.

They call it T-type I believe.
Probably the so called Calibrated T-Type humbuckers. Look forward to hear what you think about them.

Always so intriguing - which pic-ups do we hear ?

Zooming in on a 335 here and find it necessary to ask about the 'tabs' on the Tune-O-Matic bridge/saddle. Nylon or steel-chrome ? What is the difference on an electric guitar. Bass-mid-treb-wise. .
I'm certain this is the best place on earth to bring the Q forward. Even though it may be hard to describe the 2 flavors.
Thx.

Hello People,
Three years later, i found the real name of the seller (liar and thief) of my fake Gibson Dove. His real name is John Cihelka and he lives in St-Adolphe d'Howard province of Québec. Sometimes, he call himself Frank, George, Jean or Del Monaco. He is selling his fake gears between Montréal / Ottawa / Winsor area.
There is many complain on this man on kijiji.
Cheers
Splendid work, Olive 🎖️ Keep all senses awake , , , , and take a good long weekend. .

Don’t post allot but what is the easiest way to post a pictures ? Keeps saying file to big, do you have to change the file size on the picture ?Yes, I get that too. Has become harder for me to post pictures - also by Imgur. Still use it though - load up there and now copy Direct Link.
Try Imgur, sir.

I had done something similar. I picked up a 1957 Gibson country western with a headstock break and someone attached a 12 string headstock to the neck
Wonder when this happened, , , and if there are pics, , , and sounds. .

Don't know if the new one would fit like hand in glove, but basically yes. You (obviously) need the be aware of the exact scale-length, , , and perhaps compensate by the saddle. This of course would be harder if the 66er still has the adjustable ceramic or rosewood saddle-insert.
I had a 1966 CW which got a long scale Gibson neck - but the adjust. had been fixed already. The luthier moved the new standard sized slim saddle.
Good luck - have the feeling finding a free flying neck is a challenge in itself.
Do tell more as you go.

This seems to be one of those instruments that can create miracles on a track. Well, , , , maybe it doesn't even need a track. .
I'm sure it will blend well with your wife's 200.
