Inside joke, but I'll share...my best friend offered me his Fender Bassman head and cab for 150 bux today...all it needs is tubes...

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

decide to do a google search and found this
if you zoom in you can see the el dorado written on the pick gaurd...thanx greg I never would of looked for this...
In ?5, Alamo basically divided its guitars and basses into three groups; the Professional Line, the Artist Line and the Fiestas.
The ?5 Professionals included the Titan bass, the Eldorado bass and the Eldorado guitar. The Titan bass ($159.50) continued to have a hollow-core construction. The body was the squashed Strat with a lower horn slightly thicker than the Eldorados. The 20-fret fingerboard was rosewood with dots. A white pickguard had the stylized Oriental ??cutout, a single middle pickup and volume and tone controls. The bridge/tailpiece assembly was covered in chrome. The Titan bass that year came in three finishes: Model 2593 in sunburst, Model 2594 in blond, and Model 2597 in cherry.
The Eldorado guitar and bass were both solidbodies, with Honduran mahogany bodies. These looked very similar to the Titan, except the lower horn was thinner. On the Eldorado bass ($199.50), the pickguard was slightly larger and more squiggly than the Titan, black/white with an engraved Oriental ?? The 20-fret rosewood fingerboard was bound. This came in only one version, the Model 2600 in red cherry.
The Eldorado guitar was very similar to the bass, except it had two pickups, 3-way toggle, two volumes and two tones, and a bound rosewood fingerboard with block inlays! The Model 2598 ($159.50) was a stoptail in red cherry. The Model 2598T ($219.50) came outfitted with an original Bigsby vibrato.
