Clarky Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Back in ~2006, Gibson made a limited run of SG basses in non-standard colours including pastel pink and TV yellow. I have long been a fan of TV yellow (Johnny Thunders, Buzzcocks etc) and so have been on the lookout for one for absolutely ages. This popped up a month or two back on Reverb and, after a decent price cut, I snaffled it. Its in superb 9.9/10 condition, weighs a shoulder-friendly 8.1 pounds, typical SG short scale ... and its minion coloured according to Mrs C 🙄. Great alternative to my 1971 Mustang. One happy bunny!

Cat Burrito Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I too think Johnny Thunders every time I see TV Yellow. 4 Quote
EliasMooseblaster Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 What a beauty! Must admit, despite normally being a Cherry Red purist when it comes to SGs, that shade of yellow does suit it very nicely. 1 Quote
Happy Jack Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Tell me, Clarky, if you were to buy a Ferrari, would you be one of those people who insists on buying a banana-yellow one? I ask in a spirit of pure enquiry ... 1 2 Quote

grenadillabama Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I have a yellow Melody Maker (not glossy). Your bass looks great ! What about a Thunderbird pickup right in the middle ? 1 Quote

These are uber hard to find (I have seen one on sale in US and one in Australia in past several years) so I am not going to customise it 1 Quote

Grahambythesea Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 With that big old Mudbucker in the middle it really should be named after Stuart. 1 1 Quote
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 I always considered transparent red to be the best colour for SG shaped Gibson basses, but having seen this, I've changed my mind. 1 Quote
