Les Paul Jr. Tribute DC Reviews

[OldManC]

Woo-hoo! Still one of my favorite bands (well, pre-2001 Hanoi, anyway).

I played on the same bill once with Sami Yaffa's band Mad Juana.  Really nice guy.

That was my experience the one time I met him. He even gave me his number and told me to call him when I was back home (in Los Angeles, where he was living at the time). I liked that band, too. Some of the offshoots didn't do much for me, but I've liked quite a few of the bands the guys have ended up in.

That's really cool!

Rather than start a new thread, here is an addition to an old thread I posted.  A much more recent review of the bass than those posted previously.

I just re-read the thread , it strays a bit off topic at times .
heh ...
I think my Jr remains my favourite bass although I tend to still use Danos on gigs .
But at home the Jr is the first one I pick up to play . I'm normally a flatwound guy , but I've kept fresh Gibson BriteWire strings on the Jr . I loved the factory string sound . Just picked up two more sets the other day .
The neck simply feels perfect to me . Still love the sound of it , I put a chrome cover and surround on it . Still might replace the bridge at some point , but didn't have any problems setting it exactly where I wanted things , haven't had to touch it since . There's really no reason to change it .
There is a little wear on the back , it's just a cheap finish . I've been tempted to pick up a second one , but one is really enough . I did buy an SG because I loved the Jr . I prefer the Jr , though I must say the SG is growing on me .

So that's about it . It might be slightly expensive for a "student" bass , but my only original complaint was not buying it before I did . It's still my favourite thing to play .
Love it .

You're right.  It would have been better to post a new thread.  At this point, it might even be better if this thread got locked.

I liked the fellatio derail.

I've been playing the LP Jr DC bass most of the time, especially the one with the LPR pickup.
