Title: HI
Post by: bastom on December 16, 2013, 01:08:18 AM: Hi all! As you can see i'm very new to this forum. There was a time, must been over 6 years ago, when I spend a lot of time on forums like these.
Doesn't really matter anymore what forums - but I made some friends there and got lots of good info.
Eversince one of those forums got down (and me changing jobs) I kinda fell out of the online community.

A couple of months ago - I started having these questions again... especially regarding to "Gibson basses", and instead of putting that in my google search string, I simply searched for "Gibson UWE" and found this forum! Uwe must be the single most person i never met that knows so much about the Gibson bass guitar. So thank god I find you again! Be aware tho, i'm gonna post my first question(s) soon in the Gibby forum ;)

Kind Regards all!
Tom

I have one Gibson so they tolerate me here.

But I have three Gretsches, and three basses of the Fender/Squier persuasion.

I enjoy reading the endless debates about whether Gibbys look better with chrome or plastic pickup covers, and I watch the 3-point bridge jihad from a safe distance.
