RnR HOF Guilds

[Boneman]

Just toured the Rock a Roll Hall of Fame and seems about the right ratio of Fenders and Gibsons displayed compared to Guilds, kinda like out in the real world, meaning they outnumber Guild by a mile. There are some cool ones in there, like Buddy Guy’s Starfire, and these couple with so many knobs:

Charlie Gracie's X-350 is cool, but Jack Cassady's Starfire Bass is just an ugly science experiment.

It sure is. I would never do that to Greenie.

Just looking at the shoes.....

I believe that's the one referred to as "Yggdrasil bass" on Crown of Creation's liner notes.
Given the circumstances and participants I'm ok with it, but I certainly get wanting to keep Greenie as cherry as possible.

(For those who may not realize, this was one of Rick Turner and Rod Wickersham's earliest experiments, before they formed Alembic.)

I really want my bass to sound better.
How about adding more knobs?

Bass, treble, and master volume pot for every string. And one of 'em's just a disguised pick holder.

Funny enough I didn't even notice until your comment
