Hi There, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to the forum but not to Mosrite. I bought my first in 1965 at Manny's Music on 48th st in NYC. It was a 65 ventures model six string with an alligator case,loved that guitar. I own two mosrite's 65 RI from Ed Roman and a original 66 ventures bass model, yes with duck feet. I collect Acoustic Control amps and pre-cbs
fender amps. BTW also have a 68 BG-500 Mosrite amp that Ed Sanners helped me bring back to life! :) Thanks Tony.

Hi Tony, welcome to the forum.

I love to see some pics of your amp. Maybe you could post some shots and tell us about the resurrection in the amp forum. Not many of us have any experience with Mosrite amps, so any information would be greatly appreciated.

Tony,
That's one nice Sweet Museum you have there. Is this collection something you started a while back,
or was this one of those "I gotta have it NOW!" Collection?? :mrgreen:
p.s. The B.W. Bass is very interesting in such they did not install a few more frets on the Bass,
although they had room to do so......yes/no? In any case, NICE COLLECTION! ;)

Thanks, All Black Widow bass by Mosrite were made like that, gives it character! If your ever in Orlando stop by my
place, I'll show you some great stuff. I have been collecting Mosrite's for the past ten years.

Thanks Tony.

Hi Tony, you have so good music gears. I'm also interedted in Black Widow, is your guitar made by Matsumoku, Japan or Mosrite? I don't know in detail the difference between both of them.

Man, really cool collection. Welcome aboard.

And as for the bass, someone who was trying to sell me a bass with a neck that looked like a ski jump once said to me, "A good bass player doesn't need play above the 7th fret."
