Congrats! Looks sweet. So are you bringing it up the the Northern California Alembic Gathering a week from Saturday? I'd love to check it out in person.

Joining the Series I will be an old-timer: San Francisco-built F2-B, owned and used by Phil Lesh throughout the '70's on stage and in the studio w/ the Dead. This guy will handle both guitar and bass duties now....

Cool! I like the large power lamp. It would look very cool with one of those old purple jewels from the Kustom amps.

I have serial number 459, which is also a San Francisco build, but it has the LED.

I bet it goes great with the guitar!

Wow, I'm jealous of you guys with the SF built F-2Bs! I thought I was cool for having the old style with the red knobs, but mine were built in Santa Rosa - still cool of course, but you know what I mean.

The story behind the different knobs can be found here.

Harry:

Thanks for the link.

They had a smooth red cap that was super-glued onto the main body of the knob.

Now I know how to fix the problem of the caps falling out! Super glue ... who'da thunk it!

Bill, tgo
