Great find , very rare to find in a thrift shop, the boombox God's were with you lol 😊 take care of that unit. Good luck

nice video :) bass sounds great too

My first bass was a cheaply Behringer P bass and I love it!

That's a rad bass! I think a lot of import guitars are highly underrated. I still have my Epiphone Les Paul I bought at Outlaw music on Stephens Ave in Missoula. I've modded it since and made a homemade Indy rock album on it. You reminded me of home. Cheers from Raleigh, NC!

If you come across another 'cheapy' try taking the frets out to make it a fretless and see how it sounds. I did and I'm not going back to frets on a bass ever again!

This era Fernandez are really nicely made.

That's a great find. What did you pay for it? To remove the knobs slide a piece of cloth under it and twist the cloth into a knot then use it to pull the knob off. The background music is a bit too loud.

Wife looks happy , definitely a good trip idea

Nice! I bought a 1975 brand new in January of 1976. It’s black/maple. Still got. They were cheap back then. I this it was less than $350.00 out the door with a Fender hardshell case. Still got it. Fast forward to 1990, I found a 73 P natural/maple at local flea market. Pretty hammered but worth $325.00. Both of them are closet queens. I prefer playing my 1980 Mapleglo Rickenbacker. It was another remarkable deal. such a great sounding and easy to play bass.

Bought '71 Precision brand new and in '73 traded it for a 1959 Stratocaster and $400 cash up in Jacksonville ,fl. when I was touring , Had it appraised 5 years ago at $20,000 , I guess that was a good trade. Bought another Precision a few years back , It does not sound and feel like the '71.

nice bass! I literally bought the same bass but modern, a 2020 Pro II. Same sunburst with maple fretboard. I love it. Only thing is you should have put flats on it!!

does anyone know the dimensions of the pinch rolls on the sony wm-fx453 model

hekk yaa brother! 20th annev. edition as well! i scored a torino red affinity strat in the pawnshop at a great deal too! same year as yours...2002! everything works on it too yahooo! ill document the stock sounders b4 i swap out the pickups....

That thing looks wonderful afterwards. If it ergonomically plays decently, for the price, it's a winner. A bit too much effort for me personally, but great job!

there is a thrift store online and you can make bids for guitars....

The sweeper “woohoo!” 🤣 that was great! Good work on bringing it back to life!

It’s Squier as per the headstock.

Looks like a fun little rig.

Wow, awesome video! Lots of great information and demonstrations of the sounds. What do you think about the Randall RG25C? Can’t find anything about it and there’s one for sale near me. Thanks

I just found your channel, I liked it, keep it coming

Hi, I have a ST-903 and the tone arm is 3 degrees from perpendicular to the rail when the tone arm is at rest, so the starting position adjustment will not correct for this. Is there some way to adjust the tone arm so it is perpendicular to the rail?

Hey love your vids :D someone recommended me this for an indoor metal amp for under 600? Would you recommend ?

Dude! I just bought one of these for $120. It was covered in old crappy stickers and grime. It came with the original footswitch, but the seller said it never worked. He inherited this amp from his grand father! I spent half a day cleaning it up, and using contact cleaner on all the pots and the footswitch. The footswitch came back to life. The noise from the pots went away. Most of the knobs had been changed out and were falling apart, but I replaced them all with nice aluminum ones. It still has the original Celestion speaker. It's incredibly loud! It sounds like a really tight tube amp.

Saved my life my friend! excellent music choices as well - the 20th anniversary show for that american football album was probably the best show i've been to. killer record.

I had one of these in the early 80’s.. I only play tube amps now, but at the time, this was the best sounding solid state amp you could get. It sounds even better if you take it easy on the reverb.

What size belt did you get? I have the same turntable and need to replace my belt

Got one of these in the snakeskin tolex, though not in great shape and needing some work. Appreciate the examples of sounds that I should be looking to get out of it when it's up and running again.

Hi! Do you sell it?

This amp was designed by Gary Sunda, who was actually a Fender employee, and was responsible for designing some of the early amps. Channel one on this amp is supposed to be the "fender" circuit, and channel two is the "marshall" tone stack. This is a killer amp. I have the head version, and it's probably the best sounding solid state head I've ever played. Check out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sJ-iaKqU3dXbj2Q.html

That's wicked

Cool!

to make my own acoustic guitar is one of my dreams i have! so cool

Gotta say I’m impressed. Enjoy that gitfiddle!
