I sold my 67 Jag and Twin Reverb back in '71. The guy I sold it to was still playing it in '75. Sorry for the pic quality.

I haven't got any idea what he has between the bridge and neck pickup.

Might have been Arjay. I have a message out to him on facebook to find out what he stuffed in there. He live in Germany now (a master piano builder) so I probably won't hear back until tomorrow. I should ask Matt what kind of bass that was. I know he was using a Kustom amp though.

Those old Kustoms were pretty good bass rigs.

My favorite was the turquoise-sparkle naugahyde tuck-and-roll.

Like......groovy, man!

:mrgreen:

Might be hard to see, but this entire set was done by Kustom. Looked kinda cools at the time.

The day-glo lime green fingerprints on the wall are a nice touch!

Yeah, I think they are on the ancient polaroid. But they are kinda trippy.

Did you notice they bassist wearing ear muffs? Matt already had poor hearing in one ear. Monitors were fairly new back then, so it was pretty noisy up there.
