Gibson Basses / Re: New website - the original '58 Explorer Bass
« on: February 21, 2016, 10:10:23 AM »
I almost bought an Epiphone Embassy Bass from ken Collins, the owner of the bass. I'd LOVE to build a replica. I actually was planning on it and had asked Uwe for tracings of his but never heard back from him. and then Life punched me in the stomach again.. and now I am even broker than ever.. Oh well...

I am NOT a fan of Black pickups, Pot metal 3 point crap bridge...But this seems  right...I'd prefer Schallers as opposed to Grovers...

I REALLY think Gibson should have kept the original Tune-O-Matic Bridge..Just place it in the properly intonated spot.

I'm sure this is exactly what waterstone puts their labels on...I have NEVER heard anything good about waterstones...In Fact, Tom Petersskin had to have all of his Waterstones HIGHLY modded just to be usable...

It would be better to just make a new body. I'd say go for it IF....the neck wasn't busted...

I will be listing a Brand NEW 8k Crome one next wednesday when I receive it. I bought it for my embassy bass but fortunately I was able to find an original Chrome one for my restoration.
