... Light a candle for me once a year when I'm gone and use the flame to bake some maple...

Can I bake some beans...? :mrgreen:

Already a used one up on the auction block. These really are Carvin-esque, with a hint of Tobias.

stiles32 is the seller. stiles72 is a member here although he's hardly posted in the past couple of years, and he has Gibsons. I'm guessing they're one and the same.

I'm assuming the 2017 EB Bass has the De Cola pickups. I notice that they don't have the coil tapping variations the 2015 TBIV's had. I like simplicity but the coil tapping switches on the '15 TBIV was a nice option that gave quite a wide range of possibilities. You could actually go to a gig or in the studio and not have to bring along a Jazz or a precision and still have a TBIV.

It has two push/pulls for coil switching.
