I checked out the videos on your website. Great job! As a bass player I have to say that I really appreciate your drummer. Mad skillz, but also knows when to just lay that backbeat in just the right place. The Alembic sounds great, too!

The vids are really cool - great mixing and playing. Everyone in the band is good - a rare sight.

Slawie, 1045 is a purple heart, maple neck with rosewood fret board. Front & back are cocobolo, maple and mahogany. Edwin, Tncaveman, thank you.
I re-fretted recently and it has be come a test bed for experimentation with fret crown profiles (Fibonacci)micro tuning and work hardening.
It stays on the bench until all notes are dead on.

PS, does anyone have suggestions on how to cure a noisy f2-b? Changed out the power supply caps and tubes. lots of hiss.

If it's an older unit, I would suggest looking at the plate resistors. That's the classic place where the Fender preamp designs get noisy after a number of years. It's an opportunity to try different resistor types.

Edwin,thank you. The F2-b is #857, somewhere around 1980. I have difficulty understanding tubes, but I have noticed that a recent installation of Fender/Russian/12AX7/7025's sounded good but had fry noise and a pair of Russian/ Mullard 12AX7/ECC83's seemed softer with richer even order harmonics, but with a lot of hiss. Any guidance is appreciated.

Great Photo's Mack,
I have a close cousin of #1045, a series one guitar-serial #1100,
....joy

It's good to see 1045 ( and You ) in action.

Keep it up !!

Hey elwoodblue, thank you . Do you have photos posted of 1100?
Edwin, I recently found TAD 7025 W/A RT080 tubes from The Amp Dr. The F2B improved dramatically.
