Nothing has been deleted from this thread. Nofi's comment is still there near the end of the Damn Sam Ash thread.

Now that I've had this bass a few weeks I have to say I like more and more as the days go by. The pickups are awesome and the bass truly sounds different than any other bass I own. Truthfully, I like the pickups better than those in the NR T-bird although they are totally different.

Honestly, I'm surprised very little has been said about it. Uwe mentioned somewhere he considered the G-3 to be Gibson's secret weapon back in the day and if those old ones sound ANYTHING like the new one, I'd believe it. 100% underrated.

 I'm happy to read your opinion of it Denis, I feel the same way. It's just a great sounding/playing bass, especially fingerstyle. Too bad the larger bass buying audience will never even know.

That fat Ripper look turns many people off I guess and elegant it sure ain't, but at least idiosyncratic. The old G-3s were thus that even a Stingray player would have been happy with them. And they came out at a time when the Stingray became successful, but got lost by the wayside. In fairness, when the Stingray came out I thought it looked cooler than any Ripper shape bass too.

I weighed the G-3 this morning. It came in at 10lbs, a hair over a pound more then my new NR. The G-3 hangs well, though.

Well, that's my order placed for one in honeyburst.  I'm buying at distance (as always) so it's been set aside by the shop, deposit's going down on Monday, should have it on Tuesday :)
