neepheid Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Thomann are going to be the ruin of me if they're going to keep offering brand new Gibson basses for sale at second hand prices. I pounced on a Midtown Standard. And to press the point home that I might have a problem - here's the black headstock club: 1 Quote

Number6 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I'm definitely thinking i need to try a non reverse T-Bird 😍 Quote
neepheid Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Well, it's already in the Build Diaries but it definitely belongs here too - 1975 Gibson Ripper, restored from the wood up. 2 Quote
scrumpymike Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Just in case anybody's interested, I've got a spare (unused) scratch plate for a Les Paul Triumph (same as the one pictured). PM me!

Goonoo Fish Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I love this old fella. It's an all original (I think) 1974 (I think), Gibson Les Paul Signature bass. I spent ages looking for one, and vowed to sell the Epiphone Jack Cassidy when I got one.... but didn't! It's a bonkers tone circuit, and, as it's a full scale length, it has a bit more twang than most of the shorter scale Gibson semi-acoustic basses.[attachment=196985:IMG_2820.JPG] Quote
tonyxtiger Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Love the les Paul sigs. Had one a few years back and regretted selling it. Only cause I needed money. Beautiful basses, even the backs of them are stunning. Lovely Precision tone but more airy. Quote

Clint Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) My Gibsons. The ES335 is totally amazing and the Les Paul is a real tone monster that is massivley underated and has a powerful output for just about any style. think they stopped making the ES335 after a year as Gibson tend to do. Hopefully they'll reissue the Les Paul Signatures soon! Edited April 2, 2018 by Clint Quote

clarkpegasus4001 Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Here is my latest purchase, a 1972 Gibson EB3 L Quote
chriswareham Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Mmm, EB3L. I acquired one of these earlier this year: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/280502-ndb-early-1970s-gibson-eb-3l/ Suffers from terrible neck dive, but i don't really mind as it sounds fantastic :-) Quote

It sounds great even with the terrible flats stringss that are on it so it should sound immense with new strings (and a set up). Edited July 11, 2016 by clarkpegasus4001 Quote
scrumpymike Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Since selling my LP Junior DC a few months back I've been without a Gibson bass for the first time in 30 years. Fixed my withdrawal symptoms with this nice 2014 SG 120th Anniversary Special off the forum. I've given it a thorough set-up and it's a really nice player - probably as good as the more expensive 2008 SG re-issue I sold and immediately wished I hadn't. Not totally sure about the flat cherry finish yet; definitely understated but it's kinda growing on me. Just thinking about what to do - if anything - about the 3-point bridge. I can live with all its deficiences except having the string windings on the saddles. What do you guys recommend? [i]Pic's not posting - I'll have another go![/i] Quote
