    Just thinking about moving this on and seeing what interest there is out there for it. Its a rare 1991 pre-production model, it was bought from the Gibson HQ in New York. It is what became the Les Paul Deluxe model, albeit with a few differences. Mine doesn't have the solid all over colour or solid all over stain like the others. Its solid black everywhere except the top which is a dark brown translucent stained top. Also, its loaded with active Bartolini humbuckers. The headstock doesn't have 'Les Paul' etched into the truss rod cover, but it does have the mother of pearl flourish on the headstock. Complete with full Gibson hardcase. I can get some better photos taken of it if you need to see, these were just a few quick shots with the blackberry camera. It sounds truly immense... pumped through the SVT there's nothing like it I've ever heard! Its serial is 93381317. Nashville Plant, TN, USA December 4th, 1991 Production Number: 17 I'd be looking to get around £1500 if I do let it go, either that or maybe do a trade-in for another great bass. Other basses I would consider trading for: Fender Jazz MusicMan Stingray G&L Jazz Lakland Joe Osborn Kubicki Ex-Factor They must be 4-string, and maple fingerboards though. (aside the Kubicki, not an option as far as i know). Ideally I'd want a black/black/maple finish. Cheers, and thanks for looking. Steve

    [quote name='mybass' post='717958' date='Jan 19 2010, 03:42 PM']Reelin' in the years here but...... I bought a Les Paul Recording bass in the 70's. It was tobacco colour finish, two Gibson (?) humbuckers. There were two in the shop. I eventually had mine converted to a long scale neck by Dick Knight and if my memory serves me right, I think Dick had added a bass clef at the 12/13th frets. The precursor to this era Les Paul was called a "Triumph" bass and I think was usually a clear spray finish. Anyone got it?[/quote] lovely bass!

    [quote name='Sibob' post='717872' date='Jan 19 2010, 02:24 PM']Sounds promising that they largely hold their price though....a rarity these days Si[/quote] Looks like it may be worth something in years to come then, particularly if it is a pre-production model. Just as Pete says, I've never managed to find anything exactly identical in any Gibson literature either... Steve

    I've got a Gibson Les Paul Bass. Its a 1991 I know that much, it was bought from the Gibson HQ in New York but I've never found anything out about it. I'll upload a photo in the morning. Its serial is 93381317. Nashville Plant, TN, USA December 4th, 1991 Production Number: 17 Its loaded with 2 Bartolini humbuckers, all black with a translucent dark brown top. If anyone knows anything or can shed any light that'd be great! Cheers Steve
