With twenty year in this office, I have never had an office affair.  :-[ :-[ :-[

The famous final scene...

(I heard he never had a mistress...)

Oh but I did, hundreds of them, and all Gibsons...

(with apologies to James Hilton  ;))
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Thanks! It might be smart, but it's kind of unremarkable looking, ain't it?  :mrgreen: Zebra wood is then probably dumb wood.

I'm happy to hear that it sounds good, but I'm glad you said it first. You're right, it is unremarkable looking. That shouldn't surprise you, though, since the Smartwood series wasn't intended to compete with flametops in the appearance department.

Had it at the rehearsal today, oh man, that B string taketh no prisoners, but sounds totally in sync with the E string, I found myself playing my bass runs one octave deeper which is something I normally don't enjoy, but on this bass it was one warm, phat and gutsy sensation.

Well, then, it's a worthwhile buy for that reason alone.

One of these days Gibson will realize the bass market has potential. Probably not under the current ownership though.
