Gibson Basses / Replacement tuning keys for late-'60s EB-0
« on: November 23, 2016, 06:43:43 PM »

Any recommendations?  Headstock holes are 7/16".

Retaining the originals is not an option since it has none.

I haven't seen one of these for sale for a long time.

Lots of issues, but seems to be in fair shape.  What do you guys think of the condition & price?

Gibson Basses / '63 Thunderbirds
« on: June 01, 2016, 10:02:34 AM »

Gibson's shipping records show that two Thunderbird basses were completed in December of 1963.  Talk about rare!  Are the whereabouts and/or history of these two basses known?  And please don't tell me uwe owns them.   :o

Gibson Basses / Gibson Grabber G3

Does this seem like a decent deal?  I'm not really up on the Grabber / Ripper.

How does this one look to you folks?  Seems like it would be a nice instrument, but I feel the price is slightly high.  I'm thinking since I can pick up a nice T-bird reissue around here for about 9 hundy, this one shouldn't be any more than that.  My thinking could be all wrong though, of course, wouldn't be the first or last time.  How much do these usually go for?

Gibson Basses / Sold my Newport bass yesterday
« on: August 29, 2014, 12:20:57 PM »
   
It was a '63-'64, pretty good condition, mostly original, no breaks or major issues except a shrinking pickguard, and it would be better off with a neck reset.  I'm kinda sad to see it go, but I hardly ever touched it.  They're not making any more of 'em!  Had it for over ten years, and it was my last short-scale.  I think it went to a good home, anyway, and I can really use the money to help get my new motor together.  Anyway, it is what it is.  I tend to get a little melancholy after I sell off any cool stuff.   :-\

Gibson Basses / Non-rev on the 'bay
« on: March 03, 2014, 01:51:03 PM »

Lots of early bidding action.

Neck repair looks horrendous.  Bet it goes for stupid money.

Killer Cheap Trick video here.  Petersson is playing this totally sick White Falcon-looking 12-string thing.





How does Zander manage to still sound virtually identical to when he was 20-something?  :o
