The description gives new meaning to the word "pretentious".  

Swiping Graham Gouldman's lyric entitles him to appear here with some of his nicely ... well, lyrical (!) bass playing. He is a severely underrated bassist, even by himself.

You don't think there is any Cure for it?

Which brings us - miraculously so - almost back to our original topic as the Cure bassist plays a long scale hollowbody which isn't an Epi JC but if you squint your eyes and ears hard enough might well be!

Has tuneyoursound given up on trying to sell El Daga's work? He's offering this and other "performance art" direct now.

Maybe they didn't understand the product. Not that anyone would.

IIRC Jon said they are collectors and know their guitars. They sure missed the boat on these, though.

Same artist did that red/yellow Victory thing...

Just be thankful he doesn't work for Gibson's marketing department...

What has he done with/to the pickup? Swapped it out presumably, but with what? (If it says somewhere in the listing it must be somewhere after I gave up reading.)

You gave up reading it? Too bad, ultra-pretentious art-babble like this doesn't come along everyday.
