Did Henry J register to bass forums and reply personally? BTW I had a lot of respect for JH, and later Ben, for doing that.

He did have an Ask Henry subforum at the Gibson forums for a while.

Kind of like Ask Bob in W&S?

I had to look that one up.

Uwe could tell you more about it, he posted to that subforum at least once. It was discontinued after a fairly short run but I don't know why.

Jeff Scott:
The "Ask Bob" column is actually pretty cool as Bob appears to be quite straightforward and honest in his answers, without being too slanted towards the marketing side of Taylor.

I never heard from Henry J though! And I wasn't even a hater. Not his whole tenure was crap. He did resurrect a feeble Gibson Company for quite some time before he forgot to listen to others. As bass releases go, his first ten to fifteen years with Gibson were even a golden age of sorts. Basswise, we haven't had another era like that since then.
