They'll be introducing matching bases soon. Bob Shade brought
the prototypes to the 2011 FanFest. Hopefully he will have them
available for sale @ this year's FanFest in October.
:)
Gary Essex purchased a pearl white 60's custom model from Bob
onthespot @ FanFest 2011 and played it during his jamming
performance. Was very kewl.

And don't forget to bring lots of money as they are only sold on
a cash basis.

Fellas- Bob specifically mentioned in an E-mail to me late last
year that not only would he be set
up to accept PAY PAL at the next jam but that he had ANOTHER
SURPRISE up his sleeve & would
share it with me 'round the time this year's ID CARD goes up on
his site. And I'll make sure that
happens a lot sooner than last year. The order for the ID's
will go to the printers right after the
deposit gets placed on the hall- which is mid-March.

I own a fire sparkle 60 Custom and I'm very satisfied with it. I
find it more versatile than the 1960s Mosrites I've played. :)

Do you have any pix of it or of you playing it? Bob Shade
attended the 2011 FanFest and I think he's slated to be at 2012
Fest also. You can upload pix here in this thread or in the
Gallery section as long they're smaller than 500kb.

Sorry, I don't right now. I'll post as soon as I read the manual
on my camera and learn how to do it, something I've been meaning
to do for months. ;D

I have a Surf Pearl Custom 60. Great guitar. I had some problems
with rattling bridge rollers when I first got it, but after a
trip to the tech for a setup, it's doing fine. He had to
immobilize the rollers, but I've had no rattles since, and it
stays in tune fine--it recently spent five days in a trailer
traveling across the country, and it came out of the case in
tune. The pickups sound a lot like Mosrite pickups, a little bit
darker than, say, a P-90, and I wound up putting in 500K pots,
which opened it up some, and when I ordered it, I asked Bob
Shade to install a leather washer under the tremolo arm so it
wouldn't loosen up with use, and it's been fine. The only gripe
I have is that the case is really heavy. Real nice case, but if
I put wheels and a motor on it, I could drive it to the gig! And
live in it if I couldn't find a motel... ;D
