Jimmy84 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hi, I'm putting my Gibson Les Paul Bass up for sale and was advised to try here first. The Bass is good as new and has been gigged once. Bought in 2010 from Dawsons with a 2005 serial number. The guy in there told me that it has a 05 serial number but in 2010 they made six more with the parts they had left over and they bought the lot. {Hence the older year when the serial number is researched}. It is vintage sunburst and a great bass but swapped bands and went on guitar so it is redundant in the back room. It also has a Gibson Les Paul hard carry case included in the sale price. Im asking for £900 but as the link below states they are £1,449 full price and only two available but not in vintage sunburst.

This classic returns with a bang and gives bassists a chance to experience what guitarists have enjoyed for decades. The oversized Les Paul mahogany body has been chambered and features a maple top and cream binding. Two T-Bird bass pickups pump out a powerfully warm tone with great clarity. Other features include a mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, bass TOM bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, and Grover tuning keys. Pictures attached... Anyone is welcome to view and try it out. I live Manchester City centre. You can contact me on [email protected] Cheers Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God knows why cos it looks awesome!! [/quote] Perhaps cheaper to finish it in solid/semi-transparent finishes than burstes but nothing to say they won't bring them back in some sort of "Ltd Ed" form. I have this bass myself ( i call it the "Slash" bass )and is truly incredible concerning it's so underrated and barely known about in the bass world. The sustain lasts forever and versatile a lot like the 6 string line BUT as far as I know, this finish or any LP haven't been a limited edition unless can be confirmed by a certificate normally supplied with the instrument. http://los-angeles-guitar-shop.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/2010GibsonES335028.jpg Not to take the shine off this bass or sale, they have always been "Standard Les Paul Bass" but if you can prove otherwise, expect more than £900! All the best with your sale, BSB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
