Gibson Basses / EB-3 in Russia
« on: February 18, 2020, 11:21:15 AM »Here's an interesting early-'70s EB-3 with the wrong bridge. Can't figure out how they got it to fit on there. Serial number font looks slightly wonky also.

Gibson Basses / Paul Revere And The Raiders
« on: March 27, 2019, 09:46:48 AM »Saw this video with an Epiphone bass front and center. Looks weird though, like some kinda Embassy/Newport hybrid. Is it just an Embassy with the neck pickup replaced with a Mudbucker? Anyone know? Video is kinda fuzzy.

Gibson Basses / Unknown Gibson bass case
« on: November 10, 2018, 02:57:39 PM »Can anyone ID this case? Just picked it up for $30, neither I nor the seller have much of a clue to what model it originally came with. I figure maybe a Victory or a Bass IV? It's about 13” x 47” on the inside.

Gibson Basses / Embassy on Reverb.com

« on: February 16, 2018, 09:44:31 AM »Haven't heard much on the Bachbirds lately, is everyone still in love with them?
Which series run seems to be the most desired at this point?
I had a cherry series 3 IV, then I got a white series 2 II, so I sold the cherry one cuz I'm not much of a fan of dual pickups. They were both fine instruments though. I also prefer the series 2 because of the way the pickguard is positioned on the body. What I think I'd really love would be a thick body with the arm & belly cuts, coupled with the thin neck. I don't believe that beast was ever built by Bach though, correct?

Just wondering if anyone else here has one of these? It's a monster, all maple neck-thru (Supposedly, although the wings don't look like maple.), DiMarzio P/U's, big neck, big everything. Weighs a ton. Very cool bass though, if you can live with the big neck and big weight. Reportedly made by Aria in the early '80s.

Rickenbacker Basses / 4001 neck width at the nut
« on: August 17, 2017, 11:30:54 AM »If I was in the market to buy a 4001, what years should I be looking at to get the narrowest neck width possible? I'm used to playing a Thunderbird with a 1-1/2" nut (38mm), so a big wide neck doesn't cut it for me.

This thing looks pretty badass. Doesn't seem to be much interest in it? No love for these?
