i always used to burst my blisters, toughened the skin up real good but keep away from Moisturizers as the tiniest bit cancels out this process All the best and anyone on here confirm the Meth spirits? 0_o BSB

[quote name='cocco' timestamp='1341093290' post='1713867'] That Les Paul bass is amazing! [/quote] haha, thanks Cocco. was my fave bass till about 2 days ago but for a good reason nice to own a heady bass too, although not the heaviest ive played, it sustains for ever with the chambered but solid body and thick neck Hows your Grabber? be awesome to see a pic (Y) BSB

[quote name='S9_S12_Bass' timestamp='1341092498' post='1713863'] That G3 just screams coolness, does it really play and sound as cool as it looks? Is it heavy etc I had one of the update epiphone rippers with the p/j pups but don't get on with it, how's the g3 sound with flat eq? [/quote] It's the leader of my pack, the neck is just real cool, not too think like the Tbird, Not a BASSball bat like the LP. just smooth and not sticky as Gibson necks can get but i think that could be from being played and worn down over the years. I've never tried it but i'd say the Epi Ripper, although i came close to purchasing one, could be as close to it as damn it but obv missing the "Gibson Quality" build and sound. If your ever in my area, your very much welcome to come and noodle on it BSB

[attachment=111864:IMG_0192.jpg] [sup][b]Edit: Click image for Full Size [/b][/sup] 3 is the magic number. I love all my 3 Gibsons will try and get better pictures but done nothing but rain here today and didnt want to risk getting soaked Any questions on either bass, just fire away BSB

Top lad, travelled around 170 miles to trade with me today, great communicator, understanding, well mannered and just a down to earth guy you can have a laugh with. Would be more than happy to do business with him again and head up for a jam and a tour around York when i have the pennies Thank again and hope you enjoy your MM bass BSB

Hey Guys, I would really appreciate if anyone i've bought, sold or traded to, if you could leave me some Feedback for the transactions. Obviously, If you weren't satisfied with what had happened, i would really like to hear from you in a PM first just so we can settle things on a happy note but i'd be happy for an honest response all the same. Thank you for your time and hope we can do business again soon Kind Regards, BSB

Hey guys, Managed to trade my MM SR5 with Gus's (Gust0o) Gibson Grabber and what a beauty this bass is. For a 1976/77 bass this is in immaculate condition and supplied with origional case and case candy. It has a few of the the smallest of dinks ive seen and slight defects in the finish: which i presume is from the temperature exapnding/contracting the wood over the years but nothing i'd really complain about, all in all i'm totally amazed. The neck is superb, nothing like my other Gibsons. nice to have a rock bass with a lot of bite and growl from the maple frets and the ( Kent Armstrong, i believe) pickup configuration supplying a fair bit of power and an array of tones for a vintage passive bass. Altogether i love this bass, which i haven't long put down and really pleased Gus made the effort to could come drop it off, stay for a cuppa tea and talk some low end for a while. a top gentleman if i say so myself(Y) Pictures i'll upload tomorrow on here and the Gibson Porn thread, so watch this space. Regards, BSB

seems like all this about the bass has sold it at The Gallery. not a bad price for one, i dont think hes fond on blue as i think hes saving for a Custom Shop with all the bells and whistles attached. BSB

cheers guys, passed word on and he seems impressed and thankful your time BSB

whats the string spacing on it? is it normal and just due to the design they look close? Cheers for the response dude BSB

+ he's said he's "seen videos and recordings here, there any everywhere: i know the sound but the feel is quite essential to me"

Hey guys, I've been talking to my friend; who's active in a few local bands in the midlands, playing various genres when we got on to the subject of basses when he said he's had his eye on a Warwick Katana 5 string but wanted to know what i thought. I've never really picked up a Warwick, yet alone the specific model he wants, so i just wondered if anyone had any good/bad points on this bass. Anything is appreciated but more so from people who have gigged with them or owned one for a while. Regards, BSB

[quote name='spinynorman' timestamp='1340542208' post='1705793'] Lovely bass, sounds great too, and they did a good job with the pickguard. I got a 3-ply tort guard from the States, which fits well, but the knobs are positioned wrong. Might give pickguardian a try. Does my birthday cake count as bass porn? [/quote] Happy belated birthday how'd it taste? BSB

thats a real sweet cab, hows it going now? faultless?

seem a nice modern'ish tbird but i think id still prefer my Gibson ='/ BSB

Unusual but I think I like it, thanks for sharing BSB

beatiful bass but shhhhhhh*t, that rice is too much for me :| think i'd get 2 decent guitars for that hope you enjoy it BSB

found a video on youtube (slow i know but only get the net back on last night), really growly basses so tempted to get one, if in natural the better to rub it in my mates face XD BSB

Cheers buddy. How do these basses compare to precisions? BSB

Cheeky to ask for pics of it now and through the process?

My best mate owns the electric version, really nice guitar and yet like yours, looking to give it a TLC make over at KGB in Birkenhead when he has the money. Never seen a blue version of either guitar or bass so seems a nice rare beast. BSB
