another testimonial for the ones tom bradshaw sells... i put 'em in both my pedals and moved on to other issues. while i don't remember reading any complaints about bradshaw's pots, he's also mr.- take-care-of-any-issues. i also remember him saying something about how he's sold thousands of them and...

pleased to announce that dave does indeed have g.a.s. (guitar acquisition syndrome).

thanks to all who inquired and/or dithered!

bump city!

thanks... not a lot of nibbles so far, which surprises me.

even if it weren't in such good condition from little play, it's almost 40 years old, and opened up.

i love my new (2005) 000-28, but it has a long way to go to sound as rich and open as a vintage martin.

anyone?

Very clean and even-playing 1976 sunburst Martin D28 guitar with under-saddle pickup and hard shell case. I've had it for over 20 years, but have also spent most of that time playing bass and pedal steel... it sounds like vintage Martin, but looks, plays and feels newer... it's very clean and well-c...

thanks!

steve - tom built the guts of that guitar in the zb chassis... but had full control as the insides were totally removed before he started. i find no difference in the way the zb feels compared to my msa, so i'm going to go with 'optical illusion' as my final answer! 8-) oh... and don't forget the LK...

1954 D­18 Martin Guitar Serial # 141158. Gorgeous dark face with straight lines. This guitar is well-cared for, but not all original. It has Gotoh tuners, the braces were shaved to pre-'42 style and the bridge was replaced (by Lundberg Fretted Instruments, in Berkeley, in the early '70s), and a non-...

alex -

you are a serious head case!

what a fabulous, over-the-top, gorgeous guitar.

well done!

gang - i'm working on an ipad holder that attaches to the front left leg of a steel, and holds an ipad. the base of the ipad would rest against the high-string tuners. if you're familiar with bradshaw's tab rack, it would be a modified version of one of the tab rack supports, modified to hold the ip...

one-of-a-kind, totally together, full-featured, gorgeous instrument... don't you feel your 'want gene' getting triggered?

my main bass is the previous version of this one, with all five tuners in line on the top of the headstock. this is a fabulous playing/sounding bass, and i love having the low-b... sorry you don't! i don't mean to bum your high, but i'm somewhat addicted to shopping online (i.e., every day!) for new...

pristine zb universal on top, msa changer, completely custom underneath. built by tom bradshaw (more description from him at the bottom of this post). zb serial number #001. custom ball-bearing nut-roller, 5 knee levers, half-stop on second string. fun to play, but sitting unused due to court-ordere...

i've received a couple of emails from obvious scammers on craigslist... the names and emails (so far) are: miractonic111@gmail.com (Anita Ford) greenlorene07@gmail.com (Lorene Green) each email... with varying degrees of grammatical challenges... says that they work at sea, or somewhere with limited...

i've got a 1960 precision i'm getting ready to sell. i've had it forever, but the body was refinished at some point and body parts are not original. still, i've been informed that it's worth $3-5k... which means that your bass is either seriously underpriced, or one phenomenal bargain. you have orig...

michael -

i appreciate the offer, but there's an older one on sale on ebay for $175.

do you have any other parts? maybe we could work out a package deal that would work for both of us?

bruce

when i was younger i tricked out my early 60's p-bass with black hardware... and threw out original parts (doh!). i'd love to see if i could 'restore' it back to something more original. if anyone has a 60's p-bass bridge they'd like to sell... nickel-plated, NOT chrome... let me know. i also need a...

i think tom bradshaw has one he just finished restoring...

gang - i just updated tom bradshaw's website with a new telonics pedal option. apparently he can now get anodized silver telonics pedals. they cost a little more than the regular pedal, but look pretty awesome: http://songwriter.com/bradshaw/images/telonics_silver.gif http://songwriter.com/bradshaw/...

well, dang it if i didn't go over there today and buy that amp. it was an older one (as evidenced by the 4 screws holding on the faceplate), but surprisingly clean... no tears at all in the tolex. i would imagine that most people who go to check out a used amp don't bring the guy who owns the amp co...

don't know anything about it, except that it's a rockin' price.

good luck!

gang -

surely some of you are steely dan / jeff baxter fans... yes? no?

bruce

anybody got any steely dan tab? i'm thinking of 'brooklyn', but there are other tunes that jeff baxter played on, as well.

let me know,
thanks,
bruce

apparently perlowin has infected others... i just finished listening to a really fabulous cd with the following instrumentation: xylophone flute or sax cello pedal steel classical pieces, zappa, brian wilson, etc. the steel player is jim hoke... anybody heard of him, or this album? highly recommende...
