Each pickup has an on/off switch. There are three master tone switches - normal, treble rolled down (dark) and bass rolled down (!). The blue switches are on/offs for rhythm/lead circuits, separate vols, akin to a Jag or a JM. The small chrome knob is rhythm volume. The black slider along the bottom of the pickguard is lead volume (!). From the catalog. $325 MSRP in the mid 1960s is about $2,800 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie G. Moseley Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Hagstrom's primary claim to fame, at least for bassists, was as a progenitor of eight-string basses. Joe Osborn played on on "McArthur Park", of all things. The best known name associated with Hagtröm’s eight-string bass was Noel Redding of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, who played a Cherry Red example on the Axis: Bold As Love album (released in December 1967) and in concert. He also utilized the instrument as a prop for a pantomimed video of “Burning of the Midnight Lamp” from the Electric Ladyland album. Other players reportedly included Andy Kulberg of the Blues Project and Danny McCullough of Eric Burdon and the Animals. Hendrix himself experimented with a Hagström eight-string bass in 1967 when he jammed in the studio with his former band, Curtis Knight and the Squires. And son of a gun, Lemmy played one on a late '70s "Top of the Pops" show. I happened to own a '70 (first year?) Guild S-100 that had a (original) Hagstrom vibrato like the one shown on this thread. Methinks those were very short-lived on Guilds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jettster Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 We were fortunate enough to move into our dream home a few months back. The better half got me two nice handmade guitar case stands that hold 5-7 cases each. Also a new 32" monitor. Still getting everything situated but it's nice to finally have the space to setup a decent work space and not be concerned about getting to loud.

At first glance, my brain interpreted the control panel with all the switches on it as a foreign object just resting on the guitar, not the actual controls. What a layout!

VOLUME knob and blue ACC switch, are you sure this isn't one half of the famed Hagstrom Polkameister guitar/accordion set that lets the bandleader guitarist cue the electronic accordion and control its volume? If so that's a really rare find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
