JUST arrived :) Unpacked and gave it a quick play. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Super low action, the Duncans sound really good nice grit and growl to them. lots of sustain :) More later gotta find a strap and some strap lock this baby is going to Buffalo tonight.

 I like the GOT in the neck pocket and the serial # on the neck plate both nice touches. I flipped the neck plate around because I had to drill a hole for the strap lock. Again great playing and sounding bass!

Probably go down as one the funniest moments in Gibson Pit history.

Now where is that picture......

I don't think you'll have to wait to long for it to appear.

 I took the bass to rehearsal on Mon. I am really pleased beyond words. The bass plays great, sounds great, feels great. Carlo really nailed it. The bass has big full meaty tone, BALLS and I mean big ones. Very comfortable to play, no neck dive and a hell of a lot shorter than a nonreverse Tbird lol. I don't know the weight but is a lot lighter than I expected. I love the Allparts J neck, beefy 70's like profile (reminds me of my '68-'69 NR) It's almost dead flat, very little relief, not a buzz anywhere. I ran it through my Sound City 200 Plus and a 1x15 cab  I just loved they way it sounded, notes just ring and ring and ring. I am so pleased I am going to order another. Rarely have I ever just strapped on a bass and felt at home. If anyone out there is thinking of ordering a bass from Carlo he certainly gets my endorsement.

You're making this hard Scott (one more month, one more month, one more month...)

Did you go with the Duncans in yours? If you're this happy with the Duncans, I can't wait to hear mine with a pair of the '66 ThunderBuckers!

 Mine came with the Duncans and with the help of my pickup booster pedal the Duncans sound really good. I wanted mine to come with the Thunderbuckers but it was ready to soon. Thats ok I have already ordered two '66 Thunderbuckers and at least one will make it into my Jaebird. All I can say is it is worth the wait.
