This morning I went to pick up two GK Neo 212ii cabinets that I won yesterday on eBay (very pleased with the price on them BTW).
Started chatting. The guy was selling them because he stopped playing a few years back. I asked if he had sold his basses and he said he still had one he wanted to sell. He said it was a Les Paul Double Cut but he hadn't serviced it is several years. He brought it out and asked what I thought it was worth. I said hard to say. He suggested a figure which I just couldn't believe. So she came home with me.
2006 Les Paul Double Cut in Black Cherry, I believe.
Neck is great, straight as an arrow, balances pretty well because of the pin position in the upper bout, no breaks, frets perfect,TB+ (Les Paul versions) clear and strong. pots quiet, output jack dodgy, a little surface rust on the saddles, strings rusted, a few scratches but nothing dreadful.
I had often wanted a LP Bass for the sound and the looks, but never bought one because of the weight and balance issues (the ones I had played even worried me and I am happy to gig 11 lb basses if they are balanced :lol: ).
Amazing part 4.2K- 9.25lbs and balances well!
Here she is a bit grotty, but I will clean her up and service her. I will post some more then.
These pics DO NOT do justice to the maple cap- it is more cherry red and the flame is quite striking.
So what can you guys tell me about these basses?- I believe they are different in some way to the LP Money Basses.
