Not that it matters, but I never cared for 38 Special. I always felt they just had the Van Zant guy in the band to add some sort of "Southern street cred". And two drummers (ala Allman Bros)? For THAT kind of music???

If it weren't for the 94% feedback and it being in Japan, I'd probably snatch that up right now and flip it.

I do like the bottle opener, but I think you may be right about sales potential. The standard looks good.

There should be no reaming required to replace the tuner. It's likely a Schaller M4 or Gotoh GB7, possibly stamped "GIBSON" on the back. I've got a set of (4) black Schallers that say Gibson that I've been thinking of selling, but they are for a 2+2 headstock (came off my Les Paul).

It amazes me how terrible people can be at taking pictures.

Those are pretty cool basses, though I prefer the midnight blue ones.

Hey Scott, since you asked, I've always found your speaking parts considerably quieter than the bass parts in your videos. I have to be careful at work, LOL!

Oh my, this is for Proggy Tom, college shoegazer music with a Seattle grandma - did anyone just say Anathema and post-rock?

Wow, that was great, thanks Uwe! An Alembic bass too.

Man, she is still amazing.

A Grabber with Death From Above 1979

That was pretty cool. I tend to have this irrational "problem" with two-piece bands, but this works pretty well for me. Found another one from 2005 where he's playing a white Ric with the Gibson waiting in the wings.
