Not the best quality, but good enough, I suppose.

Early 70's Conrad 40080 into a Blackstar HT-5. I hope to add a Classic Vibe 50's Tele, Classic Vibe Duo Sonic, and few EHX stompboxes in the next couple of months.

that's a really nice looking guitar. I would like to see some closer pictures. How you getting on with the HT-5?

Blue Cool · Post by **Blue Cool** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 8:49 pm

Sure. There's a few things wrong with it that have been there since I got it from my grandpa 10 or so years go.

I'm loving the HT-5. It would be nice if they had Reverb, but it's not a big issue. I've been wanting to run it through different cabinets as I've got the HT-110.

I tried my best

It's actually in really good shape for a guitar that's close to 40 years old. The bridge pickup is inactive and the tone pot for it fell into the body. Other than that, it's a solid guitar.

I've got the same one, mine is rebranded "Pan"... I liked it a lot, but right now I've torn it apart for a full re-wire.

Those are great looking hollow bodies. Are they fully hollow or semi?

The HT-5 is a great little amp, did really enjoy it when I had mine. Get yourself a Boss FRV-1 and you're sorted

Brandon, that's awesome. Are you putting new pickups in or just rewiring the old ones?

Richard, I believe the are completely hollow.

Thom, I'm thinking about picking up an Electro Harmonix Holy Grail Nano.

What are they? They look like Humbuckers, but I've been told they're single coils. So I'll just call them P90's.

Yeah I think they're just singles...
They're totally hollow. With all the hardware out the top seems pretty fragile.
I'm keeping the pickups in, I love them.

Damn. The bridge pickup in mine is all sorts of mucked up. I'm thinking about getting a set of vintage wound GFS pickups to put in it.

Is that a Tele neck pickup in the P bass?
How does that sound?

brandon. · Post by **brandon.** » Fri Dec 17, 2010 4:59 pm

as far as I can tell, that pickup is the way the bass came. It has a clear plastic mounting thing, and the cavity is routed to the pickup shape. That being said, the pickup sounds awesome. Sounds just like a typical p-bass. The neck is incredible on the bass too. Just the right amount of THICK. Also, check out the tiny, tiny machine heads.

love the bottle of what I assume is a pain killer of some sort on top of the amp....that means u must play at the right volume

Acid Reducers. They did fall off the amp shortly after taking the picture though.
