gsgbass Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) I snagged a Gibson 2014 SG Spl. A nice bass, that plays great. Edited December 22, 2015 by gsgbass Quote
madshadows Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 That's a great looking bass, like the flat finish John Quote
3below Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Should you want to, the satin finish has really responded really well (imo) to briwax / fiddes wax on my brown one. The neck is just sublime with the nitro / wax polish combo finish. Quote
SingleMalt Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I've got one of these beauties in chocolate brown. Fantastic bass, the playability is just incredible. I did have an issue with the neck pick-up rattling, but this was solved with some extra foam and a little card between the pick-up and cover. Anyway here's a pretty rubbish low-light picture I just took. Quote
Subbeh Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 They both look really good, much prefer the more natural stain/finish on these to the glossy version. Very cool basses Quote
3below Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 The satin looks good, sadly on mine it marked very easily. Wax polish fixed that and I really like the wax finish. Quote

Finding some spots of the finish are turning gloss where there is more wear. Any chance of getting a picture of it with the wax finish? Been giving a bridge replacement a thought, can any one with a Babicz three-point bridge comment? I'm finding the floating three point kinda hurts my hand when I'm playing with a pick and muting, although I haven't had any issues with string height or intonation. Quote
blue Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 I had one of those back in 1971, they we're called EB-0s. That bass looks cool as hell. Blue Quote

chriswareham Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 They're not EB-0s, but EB-3s. The EB-0 only has the neck pickup. Quote
