The Last Bass Outpost

My thanks to Dave & Uwe also! This may be the only place a guy can admit to owning a Gibson 20/20 & still maintain a shred of dignity! After all of these years of collecting Gibson basses & thinking I was pretty much alone in my quest, it's nice to know how many other people around the globe share similar interests.
Happy New Year to everyone here, may you all prosper enough in the upcoming year, to be able to support the GAS syndrom that we all seem to have contracted..........

Did anybody tell him that it was a Q-80 with an EB-0 truss rod cover? My son has the exact same bass, right down to the color. A very nice playing bass...................

I seem to have a knack for always coming in second best on eBay. No matter how high I bid, only one person in the world wants it more. I've had two times that someone has offered me a second chance scam, claiming the winner couldn't come up with the money. After contacting the origional seller & confirming it's a scam, I turned them into eBay.
I've bought quite a few amps on eBay & had good luck, the largest being my LP-12. UPS seems to be the weak link.
I bought my EB-4L from a dealer online, when the UPS man threw it on his shoulder to bring it to the door, it flew over his head & landed on it's headstock. My wife watched & told him she saw it happen, that there was a vintage guitar in the box, he could have cared less. Luckily, due to good packing on the venders part, it arived in one piece. 

I have always tried to collect clean, origional vintage Gibsons. If I come across a better guitar, I try to trade up.
This goes against every anal retentive bone in my body.     

This thing is up to $2,550.00 with a little less than two days to go? And a refin yet!     

If I ever win the lotto, I've been eyeball'in an EB-6 for a long time, it's only $10,000.00!     

For a limited time only! On this special TV offer....You can have the neck plate personalized on your new Les Paul Custom!!     

I kinda forgot about Bleem. It was just Skip & Bleem as employees. I delt with Bleem most of the time. I have one of his picks somewhere. Nate started in the small corner store, moved next door to a bigger store and when Kawalski's moved out on the other side, Nate cut a hole in the wall & added that whole area also. I only stop in a couple times a year now, check online often. He never has shipped outside of the US. He figures that if he sells only in the US, you may come back someday & trade for something else. If he ships it out of the country, it's gone............
