As stated, looks are subjective.  When I first looked at the bass, I was amazed how much I didn't like the way it looked considering the cost.  But the more I look at it the more I like it for some reason.  Usually, I don't change my mind so much on something like that.

Rob is right, the EB Bass pickups aren't MM clones. Some of you may remember that I had Uwe's EB Bass for several months before shipping to him, and it definitely didn't sound anything like either of my MMs. Jim has a point, though. They do look enough like MM pickups that unless you're up close, you wouldn't know otherwise.

My problem with the EB Bass is that the traditional Gibson headstock looks way out of place with that asymmetrical body. The new V-Bass looks much better to me.

Are talking 20/20 sales...?

That can double & triple, if they get sold over & over.................


I was impressed with the EB pickups, they had major balls................

So you're finally admitting it, huh?

Did I say otherwise before? If I did, I don't remember it.

I guess CRS has set in. Except I forget what that means.

If I ever said that headstock looked right on that body, can I claim temporary insanity?

A momentary lapse of reason, Dave, nothing more.
