Gibson Basses / Re: Dire financial situation at Gibson?

i just happen to know what he paid for baldwin.   I ( GE Capital)  sold it to him at a bankruptcy court auction..  was around 24M if my memory serves me correctly.   probably worth single digits at this point.

http://photobucket.com/user/godofthunder59/media/FB_IMG_1494415578443_zpsqjya6dfp.jpg.html. Hope the link works.  I find myself in a Fleetwood Mac tribute! I am pretty excited about it,  we travel quite a bit but it pays well enough so that I don't need a day job.  The 69 is a great match for the gig as John played a stripped natural 60's Precision before he got his Alembic. I love the Schaller pickup!  Lots of power,  great full tone and lacks the grunt the Dimarzio Model P has. Someone here gave it to me, I can't remember who but thanks!

that was me on the pickup....
