Paul Jenx Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) After seeing the last topic of Gordon Smith basses was 2009, i was wondering if anybody still has one? Edited January 30, 2021 by Paul Jenx Quote

I haven’t - I played an SG bass in black satin in about 2015/16 at the GBBL. I wasn’t bowled over - but it was nice to see. I often think they could do something really special along the lines of a Gibson esque bass - and have massive orders... But they seem to be happy enough in their current guise. I spotted a Gypsy semi hollow bass announcement recently? But it fell short of the mark for my wallet to start tingling... Quote
Paul Jenx Posted January 30, 2021 Author Posted January 30, 2021 i have a Black shadow from mid 80's, bought it from the workshop in Partington. Quote
Paul Jenx Posted January 30, 2021 Author Posted January 30, 2021 last strings i had on it was EB Super Slinkies, given to me by the bass tech from EW&F. Quote
AndyTravis Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Meh. This is their latest offering they also made a Gryphon and other SG’s in conjunction with Drew when he ran the GBBL. The Gryphon was silly ugly (in my opinion) but they did a Pelham SG which was stunning... Quote
Paul Jenx Posted January 30, 2021 Author Posted January 30, 2021 I am really curious that i have never seen another one, she has round rotating pick-ups, similar to the fender 8 style. Quote
AndyTravis Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Gryphon is top - actually not as bad as I recall. but that SG was stunning. Quote

Ah, ok - imagine a short scale neck shoved into a Les Paul body with a generic set of pickups off an Epiphone viola bass and an Ibanez stop tail. Hardly worth the picture to be fair mate - I’ve saved you a job 😉 Quote
Paul Jenx Posted January 30, 2021 Author Posted January 30, 2021 How about my Vox Clubman Bass with a Coax plug instead of a Jack? not seen one of them before either, I will be able to send photos of that... Quote
lurksalot Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 I have one , I really like it , it’s my go to bass ,SG style . funny enough I had not really heard of them until a few years ago , then hooked up with a mate who we had jammed with when kids , and he plays a smith 6 string guitar. Quote
