Interesting use of the end of the strap to hold the cord. ;)

Wow!! I didn't catch that until you mentioned it Danny :shock: .
That IS an interesting set up with the cable Jim :) ......

I started using that setup with the strap years ago. The strap is the same I used back in the 80's with my other Mosrite. It just seamed to be the right thing to do. LOL Anyways it works. I don't do that with my Gretsch guitars.

Ole Marshall Crenshaw. There's a blast from the past. Unfortunately, you can barely hear that Mosrite 12. The Two Fenders are much more prominent in the mix. I like the way the Bass VI kinda fills out the sound with it's baritone chords-subtle, but there.

On the strap thing, I've always done something similar on all of my guitars. I use the second hole from the end of the strap to go on the strap pin. Then I run the chord between the body and the strap, go over the strap, through the last hole and then plug into the guitar. This way if I or anyone else accidentally steps on the chord or runs into it then it won't damage the guitar.

I love the looks of that 12 string in the Marshall Crenshaw video. I'd like to hear it alone to see what it sounds like though.

Hey Trent,
If you look at the '47' marker on the VID, you will actually notice that IS Marshall's Mo' we are hearing due to the lead guitarist is doing
different chord accents on his red Strat. I think it might be the quality of the audio.....either that, or he popped his high 'G' String :mrgreen: .....

Here's a good ol' oldy: the T-Bones on Mosrite, 1966 ;)



...and there's also the original 1966 Alka Seltzer commercial on Youtube, if you've never seen it (I haven't until now!)

Man or Astroman? is reuniting and taking it out on the road. In honor of forum member Brian "Star Crunch", here they are in action. Not the best audio, but Brian and his Mosrite are clearly seen.

Well, here's a 'WEIRD FIND' with Eric Clapton and 'Cream.' Eric playing a Mosrite Serenade??
I'm guessing this to be maybe from 'the Glenn Campbell Goodtime Hour???'

So, Eric Clapton DID play a Mosrite.....at least once...... :mrgreen:
