NR TB reproduction
drbassman:
While restoring the 60s NR, I got the bright idea to start an all-maple clone (don't ask me why, I'm still wondering what I was thinking!!!). Anyway, I'll be finishing that one up this weekend. I'm really pleased with how it turned out.
Barklessdog:
I tell ya that bass is just stunning!
Why can't Gibson just re-issue one?
It is kind of fun making/restoring one .
I find it far more rewarding then buying something complete.

I agree! The GOW idea was OK, but just changing wood or colors on existing models wasn't exactly rocket science nor was it a revolutionary idea (ala F*nd*r!). It is rewarding to create something, especially a model that is unique and not just a knock-off. The only problem is wanting to do another..then another....then another........it's just another form of GAS! :P

Speaking of "another," after I finish my 98 LP and 2003 TB restorations, I'll probably do a JE Fender Bird? I just can't help myself! I am so hooked on TBs!
Nocturnal:
Like your other projects, this bass looks incredible!!!
