Gibson factory tour 1967

[Dave W]

This was posted to Gibson's YT channel 9 months ago. I don't recall seeing it posted here. No basses, except in a band playing briefly toward the end. Enjoyable anyway.

Do we need to worry about you now Dave?

(I would have never made him aware of it, Rob, that Dutch bluntness of yours at work once again, tsk, tsk, tsk ...)

That was a very nice and instructive vid you've just posted here for the very first time, Dave, thank you!

[Basvarken]

that Dutch bluntness

I admit that it's a talent not everybody is gifted with.

In my defense, the latest Gwyneth news at the time probably had me in such a daze that I forgot.

She now has new neighbors in Motecito, Dave, have you heard?



A youngish retiree couple, people say. Victims of vile persecution.

While we're at it, she needs a place to stay for the night too - because of the heavy rain, flooding and mudslides and all:

"About 130 miles (209 kilometers) to the south, the entire community of Montecito and surrounding canyons scarred by recent wildfires were under an evacuation order that came on the fifth anniversary of a mudslide that killed 23 people and destroyed more than 100 homes in the coastal enclave."

More Gwyneth + Friends news as we get it!

I'm so sick of hearing about them.

14:36 is the worst bass tone I have ever heard - and I've owned an EB2.

[Basvarken]

I thought the worst bass tone was Bob Daisley’s tone on Blizzard Of Ozz.

Ilan, there we have it, you're really nailing yet another deity to the cross here - AGAIN!!! 

Glory to the Holy, Eternal & Immaculate Müdbücker !!!
There is neither speech nor language, yet his voice is heard felt

I thought the worst bass tone was Bob Daisley’s tone on Blizzard Of Ozz. 

I actually really liked that tone (not knowing how it emanated from a short scale mudbucker bass at the time) - it was unusual and original, even brave for an early 80ies recording in all its glorious non-hifi sonic imperfection. And it actually cut through quite well. I believe Bob Daisley, generally a Fender P player, was channeling his inner Andy Fraser with it.



Daisley has awesome pick control, those 16th notes commencing at 02:45 ...
