I've installed the imgur app on my phone lets see if this works.


Came through fine, Scott. But if you copy the BB Code option in Imgur (assuming it's available on the phone app) or click the Image button here and put the link in between the brackets, the image won't have the Imgur name showing.

That was elucidating for why my choice to play with a pick was the right one. A new definition for awful.

I never wondered what a castrated bass would sound like - but now I know!!

The Newport has now gone from $379 to $449 in most stores.  So for the people who got it at the lower price, good.  For the other people (like me) not good.

Seems to be par for the course with Epiphone. The same thing happened with the Vintage Pro and, IIRC, the Embassy. I've seen it with guitars, also.

   It seems my video review of the Newport has brought about some changes.   I spoke with my Gibson contact today and the basses are now receiving D'Adario strings and a more through set up. Seems I ruffled a few feathers as the video made it's way up the chain but it got the desired results.  ;D

You're a Youtube influencer now, Scott! Are your kids proud of you?  :)

That's great, Scott. If Henry were still in charge, nothing would have been done.

However, I don't think there have been any left-handed basses released since Henry has been gone. Maybe just that Les Paul Jr.
