Title: F-2B for keyboard?!!!
Post by: hieronymous on April 07, 2008, 08:17:59 PM

Kind of stretching putting this in the "basses & guitars" section, but it seemed like the most appropriate place. I was looking at the inside cover of the recent re-release of the Grateful Dead's Blues for Allah and found this picture of Keith Godchaux:

  Hmm, look closer:

  I remember reading that David Gilmour's F-2B was wired differently for guitar, wonder if this one was "wired for keyboard"? Also, what's that  box on top?  (Message edited by hieronymous on April 07, 2008)

Anyone know where this show was? Looks like maybe Golden Gate Park when the Dead and Starship did a free gig celebrating 10 years. If so, I was there. Man, brings back memories of being a young lad.

Somehow I think the no bottom plate is an optical illusion. There's no way to see the bottom at that angle.
 
I found my SF-2! What was great was that I also found the power supply. It was right where it should have been, while the SF-2 was not, although it was more or less hidden in plain sight. Nice to have it back!
