tonyxtiger Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 There's a white 77 TBird and a les Paul signature that should have been in there too. That was as silly as the collection got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was as silly as the collection got. [/quote] silly question but that is a KN sig RD bass to the left? if so/not, what do you make of it? I always thought a Gibson with (trad' fender) jazz pickups could have won some bassists across considering Fenders crazy pricing antics and "nothing altogether new" scenario but apparently not :-/ BSB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassicinstinct Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Better late than never, here is my ( [b]heavily[/b] modded) 1972 Gibson SB. Very few tones it can't produce now! This was my first "proper" bass which I bought (can't remember the price) in 1974 and gigged with it exclusively for two or three decades, hence the slight signs of wear and tear. I have come VERY close to parting company with this bass, but have always eventually seen sense at the last moment, very often after receiving wise advice from BassChatters I might say!! Apologies for appalling photography!! Edited July 2, 2012 by bassicinstinct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty subtle, but it's nice to beef up the bridge pickup in series and then balance it out with having the neck pickup in parallel or single coil.
