They'll be sending in a crack team of investigators.

I wouldn't call that a prototype, just a transitional model.
He's dreaming of a green Christmas. I don't think so.

Former Miss Argentina dies from cosmetic surgery
What a way to go.
I'm glad I decided to grow old gracefully.

Bill's Shop: Projects, Mods & Repairs / Re: New Ripper project!
« on: December 01, 2009, 08:17:22 AM »Found some pics of that gorgeous Ripper G-3. First class job with great details. I forgot who made this bass?
It was someone from here?
That was made by "Bass VI" Scott.
He hasn't logged in for awhile.

Epiphone wasn't raided because there is no Epiphone. It's just a brand name Gibson uses for certain guitars, like Sears uses Kenmore.
"The Epiphone Company" is marketing fiction. There's no Epi custom shop, the few US Epis are made by Gibson's custom shop.
Gibson's custom shop does exist, of course, but it doesn't buy wood separately.

The bass is looking good, and you're looking thinner with every new pic you post.

Gibson Basses / Re: Uncorroberated Gossip ...
« on: November 30, 2009, 02:07:32 PM »I'm actually impressed by the Japanese on the left side of the shirt, but it's wrong - it says "I like Les Paul's guitar." It should read something more like "??" - if they're going to make a racist t-shirt, then I'm going to correct their Japanese!
The folks at Killer Vintage have never been accused of being politically correct.
Have you seen their Axis Power Trio and Ozzy Oswald shirts?

Fender buying Gibson should have the anti-trust people perk up though ...
OTOH, they could finally credibly and legally produce the Fenderbird!
Maybe, maybe not. Joining two famous brands might raise a few eyebrows, but I doubt the two companies combined are a majority of US guitar sales or even US guitar production.
And I don't think a foreign firm buying an American icon causes a stir any more. Although the possibility makes me think of this t-shirt from Killer Vintage's Hazard Ware shop: http://hazardware.com/?page_id=3&category=3&product_id=9

The Bass Zone / Re: Would you buy a bass just because it looks killer?

Looks like twine to me. Probably the same sort you find on early Tele pickups.
As long as the north pole of those magnets points toward the strings, the pickup should work fine; whether or not it sounds good is another matter.
