Gibson Basses / Re: Would you buy a copy of the Gibson Bass Book?
« on: November 30, 2016, 03:52:41 PM »My only disappointment is no autographed copy...Well now that you mention it......
My wife saw the book opened it and said "these are beautiful!"
I told her they would have looked even better if Rob would have signed it

« on: November 25, 2016, 07:05:48 PM »(in Michael Palin voice) Are you suggesting that glue is migratory?Well only in the spring and autumn.
Hard to tell, could have happened that way, or it could be that too much moisture had already gotten in after the glue line was broken (and before regluing) and caused the neck to swell when more glue was applied.
Good point about prior moisture.

« on: November 24, 2016, 05:21:11 PM »It's the neck swelling, not the fretboard shrinking. Titebond is water based. Swelling is possible depending on several factors.Yeah that's what I was thinking but not very clear about. It would have to migrate under the board quite a bit wouldn't it?

« on: November 23, 2016, 06:20:45 PM »titebond worked okAlmost sounds as if it were a lot more loose that it seemed.
odd thing, it either shrunk the fretboard or swelled the neck, as now the neck is about a quarter of a Mil proud of the board both sides, no biggy for a beaten up old workhorse like this but would be a pain if it was on a restoration project

Parted them out?

Gibson Basses / Re: De Cola pick ups for TBIV
« on: November 15, 2016, 05:42:25 PM »Just pickup a 2013/14 EB bass, swap out the pickups and controls, then sell it. You can advertise the EB as "upgraded to Thunderbird electronics"My kinda guy . . . long as it's disclosed.
