only4 Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) I'm reluctantly selling my Gordon Smith SG Bass (short scale) [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This is the last bass that the owner of Gordon Smith Guitars hand carved before he retired, [/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]The bass sounds great, plays and balances beautifully and is in mint condition, it's light in weight and very easy to play with its low action.[/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Both humbucker pickups are coil tapped with push/pull volume pots and each has an individual tone control, the [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]machine heads are Gotoh resolites.[/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]I believe that[/color][/font][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] all the issues that the original Gibson SG basses had have been ironed out in this design.[/font][/color] [attachment=245539:FullSizeRender.jpg][attachment=245549:FullSizeRender (1).jpg] [attachment=245540:IMG_1851.JPG][attachment=245550:IMG_1855.JPG] [attachment=245548:IMG_1852.JPG][attachment=245551:IMG_1854.JPG] I'm asking £675 for this bass which is a lot less than i payed for it, collection preferred but this may be negotiable. Thanks for looking. Edited June 10, 2017 by only4
ash Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Nice where are you based? Is there a case with it? Thanks
only4 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Posted May 18, 2017 I'm based in Macclesfield and travel to Manchester during the week for work, no case with this one but i could probably find a gigbag.
only4 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Posted May 18, 2017 [quote name='ead' timestamp='1495138794' post='3301639'] Nice. Is this the one that Drew had in stock? [/quote] Yes that's the one, I've had it around 18 months and its been brilliant but i'm now able to play full scale basses again and am letting a couple of my short scales ones go to fund some new purchases!
b7l4s Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 Very nice - I have had a soft spot for all things Gordon Smith since buying my first 'decent' six-string sometime in the early 90's (which I still have). I've never picked up a GS that didn't play well, and sound good - even in my hands... what more can you ask for? Short scale not for me sadly, but GLWTS - someone is getting a gem!
scrumpymike Posted May 20, 2017 Posted May 20, 2017 Very nice - based on what I've heard about Gibson's 'legal eagles', I'm surprised this one made it into the market-place!
only4 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Posted May 22, 2017 Looks like they have been getting away with it since 1974 type bump!
