Gibson Les Paul Standard bass - deal!

[casapete]

I see that DV247 are currently doing these for £829, which seems like a cracking deal.
Not my kind of thing unfortunately, but for those who love 'em .........

That`s a seriously good deal, they are great basses, and confuse the punters enough that after gigs they actually talk to the bassist, believing that they are in fact a guitarist.

It's all about the Goldtop for an extra £40

Extra £60 for Gold Top 😉

Get 'em while you can...

Utterly gorgeous. I presume from the pics its a short scale. It seems a little odd to spout on so much in that blurb about everything but the scale length.

They're 34" scale. I had one briefly - it sounded okay but the neck dive was absolutely awful so I moved it on.

Interesting bridge as well. Can't be any worse than the three point bridge on my EB3!

DV247 were knocking Gibsons out for a lot less than that a couple of years ago... Thunderbirds and SG basses too. I picked up a Les Paul bass for £650 I think it was. It only lasted 5 minutes as it was the heaviest bass I've ever picked up, couldn't even consider playing it live.
Sounded good though!

Neck dive, very surprised, the one I had was very well balanced.
