Oh come on, Gibson wouldn't know a chrome TB pup if it bit them in the arse.   :o  I think the shipping label maker was messing with our heads.

Now what are you going to do if you get a mismatched one from the factory?  Better document yourself opening the package or no one will believe it! ;D

I will demand scientific proof for a factory cock-up or otherwise I won't buy it! I have an LP by a Gibson Custom Shop apprentice (built from left-overs while he was there, oversized body, curliest of curly maple flat-tops and, jawohl, even an EMG P split-coil as well as a hipshot bridge) that has two chrome, one nickel and one smoked black tuner(s). I like that a lot.

Enough about Gibson. You guys know that they're just imitating the real thing from Czech Republic...  :mrgreen:

That's blatant product placement if I've ever seen it... ;D

With all these additional products, Rob, do you ever see a completion of Ze Kollection book...? or will it be produced in a "loose-leaf" format to allow space for additions... ;)

It's a refin Scott. I had a Transparent Red TH-2 that I did not want to sell because it had a blemish in the lacquer on the top side.
I took all the hardware and electronics off and had it refinned by a guy who is a professional car painter.
Picked it up yesterday and put all the hardware back in place straight away.  I couldn't resist to put a new pickguard with bird on.

I don't think I am going to keep this one.
Once I have the wiring soldered it'll be ready for sale.

Not mine and you have admitted as much! If I may quote: "People were not expecting a full mahogany bass for that kind of money!" You posted it yourself.

Maybe they changed the recipe for the "Rob Signature Model".  :mrgreen:

The B&CH is a nice bass, very good value for money, maple or nor. But wood - unlike finish - does influence sound. The My Czechbird does not have the warmth and bottom fullness of the original, but a little more snap, no doubt courtesy of just that maple neck.

That was the first series Uwe.
They've been all mahogany ever since the second series.

This one is a third series model.
