My dad had two of those. He played solo in the late '70s and early '80s at supper clubs and the like (old school dinner and dancing kind of places) with a drum machine and base pedals. A one man four piece band. You want to hear it at it's best run the organ through a Leslie cabinet. The real trick is playing guitar and organ together without them being just mirrored, for instance playing background organ chords while fingerpicking a melody. My old man was a big Chet Atkins, Les Paul, Roy Clark fan so fancy fingering with a really clean sound was his style all along.

what’s cool is you’re phrasing your playing like an organist would which, in my opinion, is how to approach any synthesized tone…if it’s a flute tone, play lines & phrases a flautist would play; I used to play with an old school piano player that reluctantly got a DX7 in the ‘80s and, no matter what setting was on, he played Bluesy, Boogie Woogie piano riffs which didn’t sound great on the sax or harmonica settings 😎

One thing that is awesome with old electronics is that most of it is off the shelf thru-hole components that are easy to service and replace. Well if you have some basic knowledge of how electronics, a multi-meter and a soldering iron works that is. And yes you should have that in your home as that is an essential skill set to have especially when working with electric instruments years on end. Usually it's the capacitors that give out with age and need to be replaced or corrosion is messing with connectivity nothing that a bit of solder and flux can't fix.

Grew up in Waco. I got the entire tour of his shop one day. I could not fathom what he was doing. He actually sliced 5 paralell cuts down completely through the frets and routed a mortise down the back of the neck for the ampinol cable, It was wonderful. He let us try it and it was perfect for Green Onions, big hit at the time. If you knew some guitar chords - you were in business. I thought I remembered he was actually in Robinson, a Waco suburb. Thought until now I was the only one who remembered it. The day I was there he had me play it through a Leslei/Whurlitzer rotating speaker - beautiful. At that time you took him your guitar and he converted it and it came with a brief case with the computer in it (solid body guitars). Thought I would never see this come to public attention.

For that price it almost certainly didn't work... they're $$$ in properly working condition. There's a LOT of guts in there. There's a sensor for each string on each fret, then you have the tone generators. Consider 40 years of component drift, and the fact that any electrolytic caps (the only good news is there shouldn't be many of those since this doesn't use mains voltage) need replaced. It really is like servicing/recapping an organ. I *really* wanted one of these for a long time if you can't tell. 😂

It also had one of those power boxes. I picked one up in a pawn shop in my late teens as I thought it looked pretty cool - Although it didn't have the box included. This was pre-internet so there wasn't a lot of information about them. I noticed the frets were rather worn (from the organ playing), so promptly tried to replace them. Only to find that they were attached to wires under the fretboard LOL. It is as you said - if you don't have the power box they're basically useless. I ended up just making it into a regular semi acoustic which is still in the shed somewhere. Although with modern electronics, I was thinking of resurrecting it if I ever get the time. Nice find!

[@arcturax]

This thing sounds so cool! As someone who fixes old electronics, I can tell you just looking at the board that it has a ton of electrolytic capacitors. At least the long blue things look like axial capacitors which were used all over in the 70s. These dry out and leak over time and are probably causing some of the noise issues you are experiencing. If you were to take this to an electronics repair person, they can get the cap values off the caps, replace them, clean up the board and any corrosion caused by the leaking caps and it may well restore the electronics parts to good as new.

[@raymondo162]

GOOD point. old capacitors have a tendency to go bang. people who repair old valve radios reckon to replace all caps as a matter of course. i had a cap explode (15mm dia 20mm tall)......... i was glad i wasn't in the same room at the time.................. pretty scary !!

He did not hang on to his GuitOrgan for long. It had horrific action even after adjustment and it was just a curiosity for him. I lost touch with him back in the 90’s. He finished up playing down in NOLA. Great guy and one of the finest musicians I ever had the honor to know, learn from, and great stories when I got the rare chance to just go hang.

I own three of the later peavey midibase (sic) & so the split fret thing is familiar. the peavey uses piezos to generate midi on-off, though, & strain gauges for string bending, so it articulates quite nicely. I have to keep the frets & strings very clean, though, & play carefully. chords & whatnot are good. the bass itself is an acquired taste, looks-wise, but holds its own, with two big active EMGs & a blend pot. I use the midi with its own volume pedal, & got rid of the adaptor box by hacking the internals of the bass's computer a bit. yep- you're on your own looking after these things, but they're a lot of fun & needn't be expensive or horrible base instruments- that ibanez gibson was a decent plank.
