   The pg fits fine though two holes don't line up. They are the two at the waist of the body right where you set the bass on your thigh when playing sitting down. All the other ones line up.  I've no idea why Fender did this.   I'm still trying to decide if I should just drill two holes in the bidy and be done with it or make/buy a pg with the right hole pattern.  For now it functions just fine.

   Exposer, hmmmmm sounds familiar! Lol My band in Boston was named EXPOSE! We were top of the pile in 1984-1986 courted by record companies,  in national rotation on WBCN, road crew, limos etc then it all went poof! EXPOSER almost sounds like another siggy bass! https://youtu.be/E1fP5tLo_oA?si=4uD1LplC1goDD8Nu

Gibson Basses / Bill Walence's EB2 up on Ebay
« on: April 18, 2024, 05:16:18 PM »
   Just a heads up Bill's (drbassman) Gibson EB2 is up on Ebay. This is one of the last from his collection. Bill always bought quality and took great care of his instruments, you won't be disappointed. https://www.ebay.com/itm/134990212425?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=PtXTjMXzR5C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QrNemjUJT7-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

You guys might enjoy this, Black Sheep's Payn' Your Dues. There are not many examples of the 70s Telecaster bass on a recordings from the time but I find this to be a particularly good example.  The wide range pickup displays what it is capable of in the studio and Bruce Turgon plays some tasty upper register licks.
  As a side note I have had the opportunity to work with both Donnie Mancuso and Lou Gramm in the past and I am subbing on bass with Donnie in a few weeks and get to play this song, I'm really looking forward to it.  [MEDIA=youtube]2m8lq7xk0eg[/MEDIA]

Gibson Basses / Re: I give up on Epiphone and Gibson

   Sigh. I don't have the energy to pursue this topic any longer, discuss amongst yourselves if you desire. I  am just baffled how they could take something as near perfect as the Vintage Pro and F it up. I need to lie down it's making my head hurt.
