I started playing bass ten years ago when my friend’s band needed a bassist and influenced by the likes of Wooten, Flea, Ament, Newsted and others. I’m a 28 year old Puerto Rican HVAC tech living in Florida. Well, it may be to early to call it vintage, but I own a 1988 Celebrity by Ovation solid body that I rescued from an ex-boss’s closet for $60. Right now I’m saving some money to take it to a proper luthier and give it a good setup. The mystery of not knowing where has this instrument been, who has played it makes it the coolest thing about having a vintage bass. Teisco guitars were often distributed under different brand names: in the USA Teisco, Teisco Del Rey, Kingston, World Teisco, Silvertone, Kent, Kimberly and. I think it’s great to be able to enjoy a piece of art, and an instrument built 40+ years ago. What else do you want to share about your gear? Mark Farner, from Grand Funk Railroad, played one back when he played bass with Terry Knight and The Pack. Performing on a wide array of what he calls, 'el cheapo guitars,' Texas-based instrumentalist Teisco Del Rey (born Dan Forte) has brought the sounds of surf music to the Lone Star state. I was doing some research and found that country musician Johnny Paycheck used to play a similar model when he started as the bass player for George Jones in the early 60’s. Also, the striped aluminum pick guard and head stock plate looks awesome.Īny notable bassists play the same instrument? I’ve only added a few stickers and the only part missing is the Teisco “nailed” logo, which turn out can be quite rare and expensive. I was kind of afraid to buy on eBay, but the transaction went well and I was relieved when I confirmed everything worked well. I found the EB-200 on eBay and after a short negotiation, it became the newest member of the family. So as soon as I got a job, I started to hunt for a substitute and decided I wanted a vintage instrument. The company also produced a 6-string bass, similar to Fender’s Bass VI, with a body more similar to a Jazzmaster.īefore I moved to Florida from Puerto Rico, I had to part ways with one of my bass guitars for economic reasons (a Dean EVO XM). I can send you photos and even a video I recorded using it 17 years ago.Teisco basses have an unusual pickup design, which is exclusive to the Del Rey series, which includes a large, rectangular chrome pickup, with plastic holding the poles in place. It is in great condition except for dirty rocker switches. The back of the headstock had a small metal Made in Japan tag held on with tiny nails. in addition- they might sound fine at 2.9K on the other hand if they seem really weak and bright with little bass they could be rewound to be essentially the same as the coodercaster gold foil pickups which sound really. It has the Guyatone G logo on the headstock and the truss rod cover says Tokoyo Sound Co. 65 teisco del rey e200 anyone wanna help Discussion in Other Guitar Discussion started by pyronym, May 20, 2013. Where it is different from all the others I have seen is the two 3 position rocker switches on the upper horn. It has 2 single coil pickups with massive slugs, trem arm, 1 vol and 1 tone knob in the usual spot.
I am wondering if I have one that was not mafe for export. I have been searching the web for a couple weeks, and can’t find a single photo, drawing or ad for this one. I am trying to identify a Guyatone that I got at a swap meet in the S.F. I have had many guitars over the last 47 years. Even in its original state its value is only about 1,500 at best. Now before someone has a hissyfit that i’ve ruined a “vintage” guitar, and diminished it’s value, remember it had already been painted five times before. An outstanding job! Shoot, ol Wilson Picket hisself played this guitar back in 66 or67. I just wish he could have seen the finished guitar. passed and he did get to see the oak veneer and he really liked it. I had started the refinish project before Charles. Never stripped! Just sanded and a new color applied. This guitar had been re-painted five times previously. I replicated the pickguard in carbon fiber. I refinished the guitar by veneering the top in oak and a sunburst finish was added. I’m a short fella, as are my extremities. I’ve been aquainted with this guitat since 1965. I have (and cherish) a1957 Fender Duo-Sonic, that was “willed” to me by a very dear friend who passed on a few years ago.
