I have been so busy I have not had time to get pics up, sorry Uwe! I was able to snap a few this AM :) Let me know when you want this shipped!(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/godofthunder59/JSSenecaNiagraEB11001.jpg)(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/godofthunder59/JSSenecaNiagraEB11002.jpg)(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/godofthunder59/JSSenecaNiagraEB11003.jpg)(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/godofthunder59/JSSenecaNiagraEB11004.jpg)(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/godofthunder59/JSSenecaNiagraEB11005.jpg)(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/godofthunder59/JSSenecaNiagraEB11007.jpg)
Very cool!
Gotta admit that I like the color. Blue basses and cars find my weak spots.
I think it's friccken cool!
But thru the good offices of Herr Hornug I got to try the shorty T Bird - I'm just not a short scale kind of girl ;)
Scott, any word on the big Les Paul Basses?

The HOG has one sunburst but Uwe wants a gold top, still waiting on that one.

What are they getting for it?
I think that is awesome...
schweet!
Sehr schön, jawohl. I liked those from the moment I first saw them even though I'm no doublecut/Junior diehard. "Plain Jane" shape to me, but I guess the simplicity of the design makes it appealing to others.
No shipping before you've gigged it! And a sonic report of course. But don't play Zeppelin tracks with it, please. Spoils the instrument. :vader:
Tis here, Scott, danke. Sure looks cute. A Daisy Bass from Gibson. :gay:
There's something attractive about it and the blue is really nice. What's the neck like?
Nice colour...
The color looks great in real life, I've only taken it out of the case for a few seconds as I am on a business trip but the neck felt neither baseballbattish nor thin, just right.
Yeah it's in one piece! I would agree with Uwe the neck has a little beef to it but not awkward or uncomfortable. Felt like a '65 EB3 I used to have. By comparison Bill your '67 EBO should have a thinner neck.

Yeah, the neck on the EB-0 is perfect for me. I'm gonna polish it up as soon as I have time and take it to practice.
Played it next to my SG Supreme Tequila Sunrise (with the maple top) tonight. It - the EB Junior - does sound and feel different, more vintagy, less agile (no doubt the added mass), not as guitarish in feel, less attack. For those of you who want to get as close to a mudbucker with as modern means as possible.
I played one at Chuck Levin's today and really liked it. the neck felt very much like my 72 EB-3, which I love. both pups sounded pretty good and the bridge pickup sounded really good solo'd. much fuller and robust than the mini bucker on my 72. I was a bit surprised to be able to see the grain, though. almost like they skipped the filler altogether. is yours like that, Uwe? I didn't buy it but that wouldn't have been a dealer breaker by any means.
Yeah, you see the grain on mine too, but I like that. Horses for courses!
The new minibuckers from Gibson, used ever since the SG RI was introduced a couple of years ago, wipe the floor with whatever they put in there in the sixties and seventies, no two ways about it.
I said this before, but the SG Reissue is a very versatile bass and in that way I would love to try/have the doublecut. I played almost all tracks of The La La Lies record (still busy with guitars and vocals...) with it. Usually I have both pickups fully on. Played at the neck the bass is warm, mellow and great for ballads and just by playing at the bridge you get into more growly Fender-territory. Great for rock songs.
I guess the mini-HB on those basses also sound better because they're placed more to the middle of the body?
That cerainly plays a role, but the also have a more even magnetic field, don't distort as quickly and don't have that brittle/harsh sound in the first place.
The SG RI stands with the post 87 TB IV as Gibson's most successful reissue of a classic model. And it's probably the best short scale bass currently available from any of the larger brands. Nuff said.
The SG bass has seemly has acceptance in the market place with both professional & amateur musicians

Amen, brother ! And since you compared her with the Supreme I'd really like to know how the DC compares to the regular SG RI, attack-wise and otherwise .....
I'll do that too ...
