casapete Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I see that DV247 are currently doing these for £829, which seems like a cracking deal. Not my kind of thing unfortunately, but for those who love 'em ......... http://www.dv247.com/guitars/gibson-les-paul-standard-bass-guitar-heritage-cherry-sunburst--227064?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4OWQo8_U1QIVBb7tCh2gfQMuEAQYASABEgIu2fD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 That`s a seriously good deal, they are great basses, and confuse the punters enough that after gigs they actually talk to the bassist, believing that they are in fact a guitarist.

mikel Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Utterly gorgeous. I presume from the pics its a short scale. It seems a little odd to spout on so much in that blurb about everything but the scale length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebassist Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 They're 34" scale. I had one briefly - it sounded okay but the neck dive was absolutely awful so I moved it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thodrik Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Interesting bridge as well. Can't be any worse than the three point bridge on my EB3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 DV247 were knocking Gibsons out for a lot less than that a couple of years ago... Thunderbirds and SG basses too. I picked up a Les Paul bass for £650 I think it was. It only lasted 5 minutes as it was the heaviest bass I've ever picked up, couldn't even consider playing it live. Sounded good though!
