scrumpymike Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Once again, my weakness for short-scale Gibsons got the better of me over the weekend, and I've re-homed another one. [url="http://s1149.photobucket.com/user/scrumpymike/media/001_zpsqy6n7gow.jpg.html"][/url] Sort of a cross between my '70s Les Paul Triumphs (both now gone) and my current SG re-issue - best of both, I'd say. Wasn't sure about the Pelham Blue custom-shop finish but it's starting to grow on me. Used it for band practice on Saturday and I just [i]LUUUURVE[/i] it. Extortionate RRP at £1029, much better at the £799 asking price - better yet at 20% deposit and 10 months interest-free credit. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planer Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 That is lovely, I think the colour works on that shape (to my eye anyway). I like the uncluttered 'bodywork', very nice indeed. Congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Nada Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Ooh, that's very nice. Gibson seem to do short-scale much better than rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2x18 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I have exactly the same Les Paul Jr DC Bass in Pelham blue too --Terrific Basses but if you ever want a twin for yours I am considering selling mine owing to old age and way too many Basses that are not getting the use they deserve! I dont do HP tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrumpymike Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Hey 2x18 - so there's at least 2 of us in the UK! Seems like the bass came out in 2011-12, have you had yours that long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrumpymike Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Will, I bet the SG Supreme is a real work of art. Any chance of a pic or 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlungerModerno Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Cool shorties - was going to link the Scott Whitley vid, but was beaten to it in post #4 by scrumpymike.
