The gold top is cool... got me thinking...

I see a gold top in Uwe's future. Finish and bridge.

drbassman · March 21, 2011, 08:25:44 PM

I love the look. Might be one for me if the neck is slimmer than before.

I like the look of my Epi with the longer fretboard better. I'm not one for upper register wheedling, but I do actually use it to great effect. I'd love to compare one to mine with the Fralin T-Bird pickups. I also like the look of the three-point better and have had no problems with intonation at all. I do like the wraparound bar tailpiece much better than that nasty Warwick-looking thing they used to have.

My LP has become my go-to bass of late; those are strong words from a Fenderphile like me.

Those are fricken' sexy, esp. the sunburst!

Basvarken · March 22, 2011, 01:24:53 AM

Whoaaa!
Beautiful.
Especially the goldtop.

I like the bridge configuration.

Stjofön Big · March 22, 2011, 02:22:04 AM

That Black Beauty is really cool. Though the Goldtop's not bad looking either. Haven't seen the bridges/stopbars before. Any info on them?

Chris P. · March 22, 2011, 02:58:39 AM

I need a Goldtop too!

doombass · March 22, 2011, 03:05:32 AM

Good to see they finally made it classic looking with the proper bridge. Also using rosewood instead of ebony fretboard. I like the Gold Top and black LP's look great too and even better in real life than pictured IMO. That said I'm set with my '05 Honeyburst. The Warwick bridge is, if not at all classic looking, a charm to work with. I also like the ebony board which make the bass growl in the upper register as well.
