They're silly at any price level.

That burst is really nice, and the cherry looks very Gibson-like.

I think he may have softened his opinion a little. I hear that creeping old age does that. Not that I would know.

Looks like an original Silverburst that's discolored over the years.

Description says "bass-size body", it doesn't look larger on the pics. Three pups, one of them upfront, is great news and I like the guitarish bridge. Does Sweetwater ship internationally?
I doubt the body is any different, it never was on the LP basses.

Did I miss that or did he add a pic?
Conductive paint makes it hard to tell, but even if it's original, the price is insane.

« on: February 26, 2010, 09:02:57 AM »I can't believe this 52 isn't getting more comments around here. If it is indeed legit, this SOB has got to be one very rare piece . I know a lot of people don't like the earliest slab body Ps , but IMO these are truly the Holy Grail.
Rick
Because there's not a single reason to believe it is legit.

That's insane.
No pic inside the control cavity and a faint s/n. How do we know this isn't an old factory refin?

It's worth some dough even with the Badass desecration.

I remember a Les Paul BFG guitar in the GOW series. Weird unsanded top. I don't remember seeing a BFG bass before.

Other Bass Brands / Re: Great deal on a Jackson T-bird at BassNW
« on: February 25, 2010, 11:37:18 AM »I got the bass. Sorry Mark. It wasn't my intention to step on your toes. I kind of scored it before they even opened. I live on the east coast so Bass NW doesn't open till 2pm my time. Yesterday morning I sent an email saying that if it was still available I'd like to buy it. Evan, the owner of Bass NW, emailed me back right away saying that it was available and that he thought it was a great rare bass. So I bought it. I'm a little leery of the EMG's as I've never been a fan of those that I've heard, although that was years ago. I've also never owned an active bass so we'll see. But it was just too cool and too cheap to pass on. What a finish! Evidently it has barely been played. It had never had strap pins installed. If I decide to flip it Mark, you have first rights of refusal.
Congratulations, and no need to apologize. Nobody has first dibs. You saw it, you went for it. I'm glad someone here got it.

Looks factory original, like something Gibson ought to have offered but (of course) didn't.
Too bad you didn't ask him to replace the TRC.

I'm still waiting for Mazda to reintroduce the rotary engine in all its sedans.
Anyone else remember this?
