HELLO PEOPLE OF MOSRITE FORUMS!

Postby Cymastar » Wed Jan 27, 2010 7:37 pm

My name is Cymastar, you can call me Cy for short.

I'm a big fan of the work of Semie Moseley, and of the work of every single Japanese company that decided to rip him off :mrgreen: !

Seriously though. I love Mosrite guitars. I really do dig them. I wish there was a full-scale bass copy somewhere out there (I'm a bassist, I've been playing for 7 years), but alas, the closest I could find was the Eastwood Hi-Flyer. Still, if I could get one of those, I would...

I have an original 60s FUZZrite, one of the early ones with the one-piece (footswtich-attached) PCBs. It would sound great, if the switch wasn't broken :roll: . I found it in my grandpa's basement. He passed it on to me (it was his son's [note: his son is not my uncle]), and I was immediately in love with the sound. Great character for bass.


I recently ordered one of the FUZZrite boards from Chris Mahoney (I think he goes here under the name Industrial :?: ), so I'm pretty stoked. I plan on designing it to look like a vintage Japanese "lawsuit" FUZZrite copy with a suitably cheesy name (MEGAFUZZ perhaps, or maybe SQUAREfuzz).

Anyone, pretty pleased to be here. Hit me up. Chris already has first dibs on checking out my FUZZrite. :mrgreen:


Cymastar out :ugeek: !

Hi, Cy. Looks like we're relatively close on this world we call Earth, I'm just oh so many hundred miles away from you. Anyway, I think Hallmark may be making a 60 Custom Bass soon so you might be able to get one and satisfy your Bass interest. Hallmark is highly regarded as a high quality company 'round here, Sadly I haven't had the chance to experience one of their guitars yet. That may change sometime this year.

There's a vintage '66 Mosrite bass on ebay right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/1966-VINTAGE-MOSRIT ... 3a571eab93 ...if you can spare the $$$ :roll: I'm not sure about the scale though...

Chris goes under the name "Imperial"...yeah, he makes a very nice Fuzzrite clone.

Welcome Cy, good to have you on board.

Welcome Cy, just keep clear of Mars.

I also always wanted a Mosrite bass back when I was playing on the road, but
they were hard to find, so I used a Gibson EBO.
