Biaeothanata-Bassist Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hey dude, what scale are these basses? and is it chambered body or solid mahogany? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMV Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) [quote name='Biaeothanata-Bassist' timestamp='1388791086' post='2326241'] Hey dude, what scale are these basses? and is it chambered body or solid mahogany? [/quote] It's 34" scale, and I weighed it this morning after another enquiry and it weighs 4.5kg according to the bathroom scales... EDIT 6/1/14: After doing some research and being gently nudged by a (very helpful) basschatter that has owned a bass like this in the past (one that I remember I nearly purchased from him - though this is not that instrument), I can offer this information: [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]According to ([/font][/color][url="http://epiphonewiki.com/index.php/Les_Paul_Basses"]http://epiphonewiki....Les_Paul_Basses[/url][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]) the body is alder with a maple top, and the neck is maple. But only an enquiry to Gibson would yield the official word.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]And the short answer as to whether it's chambered or not is... no. It isn't.[/font][/color] Also, as requested, you can hear the bass in these videos: 'Direct' recorded: [media]http://youtu.be/gLHf35Bgz0I[/media] Mic'd with a practice amp: [media]http://youtu.be/8Vy-rHfu2VA[/media] Edited January 6, 2014 by SMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also to other viewers - £20 to post, and I'll refund you if it's less, if you see what I mean. Will consider trades for other basses/effects/guitar amps/archtop electric guitars... or WHY? Just not bass amps, actually. EDIT: Happy to 'meet halfway' to sell/trade somewhere mutually convenient too. Edited January 5, 2014 by SMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
