Old Horse Murphy Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I've grown to love Gibson basses recently after having bought a Gibson Midtown Bass and a J45 acoustic guitar. What will you be replacing with the SG? You seem to stay with 3 basses so I wonder what's about to leave the stable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm adding this Gibson to the family. A name may be a change though.

[/quote] Very good actually. I started out in 1969 on a Gibson EB0. I also like that this little dude weighs just under seven pounds. Good for an old Roadie's back. I'm really looking forward to running it through the RC Electronic setup. The Fenders sound good through it, but the SG should kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsgbass Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 You guys are super. Thanks for the great posts, and I will show family pics when it's here. Presently, I'm at a loss for a name for her. Once again, Sweetwater Sounds online Guitar Gallery showed me what I was looking for. OH BOY! Short scale Nylon Strings are on the way.

hatori Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I have a 68 EB3 that i absolutely adore and am about to pull the trigger on an SG as a backup. I owned an EB3L back in the 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the SG Basses of today though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goingdownslow Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I have tried an SG Bass a few times and can not get on with the long heel at the neck joint. Why Gibson changed from their original neck pocket design I don't know. Epiphone still use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah I know, why they couldn't have just used the white interior. I think Gibson was trying to copy the Red Poodle inside color of the Fender G&G Tweed Case.

Lozz196 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Yes, I had a couple of Les Paul guitars, one with the heavy duty finish, the other with the satin-faded finish, and the faded resonated much better, really lively sounding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
