Scheiße !

But black is much better, why can't you all people see it?

Because we're not in 80s hair bands? 

[Granny Gremlin]

Because we're not in 00s neu-goth bands?

You aren't? They had their visual highlights!

I had to confess, didn't expect that slapping.

I tried that slapping trick at a gig once - no response from the audience whatsoever

And what did your lead singer chick say about it?

Hi everyone. 

There's been a response from Thomann...it looks like Gibson require a minimum order of 200 to make it happen.

I've asked Thomann to keep the enquiry open.  I find it a little bit sad that Gibson are able to do a model for the Japanese market, but that's it...my mind always comes back to the same question, 'How difficult would it be for them to put a different colour in the fecking spray gun?'

Any takers?  Colour?

Inverness green


Pelham Blue

I can't interest you in another 196 can I, Mark?

[Droombolus]

I'd say White.

I've got the Jones for a white SG for ages but the prices asked for those produced in 2005 and 2006 are in the pipe dream catagory .....

Help me here, I'm pleading stupidity after a 3 day trip the band, a 196?

Gibson has spoken.  200 buyers, all agreeing on one custom color for one model? No chance. Even if 50 could agree (highly unlikely), I doubt that even an outfit as big as Thomann would take a chance on it. If it were a guitar, they might. But not on a Gibson bass.
