cytania Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Came across this; [url="http://www.guitarjunction.com/shop/view_product.html?prod=1687"]http://www.guitarjunction.com/shop/view_pr....html?prod=1687[/url] New bridge design that appears far more adjustable than last year's single bar. What will that Gibson mini-bucker do soundwise? Cheeky bird graphic too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Unfortunately not. It's a one-off mod by Simon Farmer of Gus guitars for an ex-member of this site. There more details about it in [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=48182"]this thread[/url]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cytania Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 Aargh! You've sent my GAS for it into over-drive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Tub Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 It would sound much better if the bridge was black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cytania Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Got to try out the unaltered version of the Esprit bass yesterday (Nottingham's old SoundControl is now SoundCheck). Initial impression is light but bulky. Body is actually quite small and headstock a bit large for my tastes. Big chunky neck but on the upper side of what I prefer. Original bridge suprised me. It's actually mounted above the body on two lugs, would prefer a real anchor like a Warwick or string through like the GUS mods. GAS dissipating. Nice, but not special must-have...
