I just tucked Rob safely away for bed after we jammed a little - excellent bass player too! I've already got the shortscale TB (currently with Mark), ordered the Goldtop with Scott of Thunder and will get the Junior one once its available. Looks great in real life, nothing cheap about it. And the oversize LPs do really look like basses, not guitars.
At the Gibson booth I also found out why the old LP Standards were deleted: Warwick refused to sell its bridge to Gibson anymore! Those evil Krauts.
