Well, to give Epi credit, it is insofar a truly ltd. ed. as they never even bothered to put it up on their site. Way to make money, really, with what is one of their best basses. $:-\$

That is sweet!. I know it sounds good but sure would look a lot better without Fender Style Pick ups. A nice project bass in that respect.

All basses from Gibson should be considered limited editions, thanks to the marketing orangutans.

John has a penchant for these "Still Life in Autumn" pics. All very somber, would make great images for condolence cards at the passing of a four-stringer. Sometimes the pics are adorned with one of his mute dogs. As a sign of hope and animal innocence, no doubt.

Gardening was my second hobby along with dwarf conifers

The dogs do like to sniff my basses, as the Dude used to lick them. Funny but the dogs are not into licking them?

Here is a rare pic of our girl who is checking the authenticity of a Two Piece bridge (or just sniffing its butt?)

She is camera shy, unlike the Tricolor.
