Author Topic: F-2B for keyboard?!!! (Read 131 times)

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)

maybe a direct/splitter for the soundboard?

good eye...
I just got the book The Grateful Dead,An Illustrated Trip and it's full of neat pics and info...it's a few pounds and a beautiful book.

You would think he could at least duct tape it down!

...looks like the bottom plate has been removed from the F2-b.

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.

edwin,

For me, Unbroken Chain comes to mind.

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!
