Need some info on Gibson basses

[Basvarken]

Maybe I should unpack mine after all?  It's still in the box. I'm serious. It was the last Gibson bass I bought before the Henry J tenure ended so abruptly with Chapter 11. Who knows, basses from that era might be sought after in a few years? (The Golden Age of Henry J ...) And I'll have a NOS RD Artist Reissue still in original pre-Chapter 11 packaging!!! Good luck finding another one! But your question does lead me to the conclusion that I should start to look into the box to see what's there and how it works.

The Gibson Bunny Brunel bass is still for sale on Reverb. It's Henry-era. Buy it! If not for you, do it for Rob's second edition.
 

Woah! I do get the feeling Uwe is no longer interested in Gibson basses?
Maybe it's time for a new hobby?

I am in the process of thinking about it!

I'm taking up perineum tanning. Or bleaching - I'm as yet undecided. It's complicated.

 Now, that has my interest! Nothing like a shave and bleach to make a girl feel her best!

 First, thanks for a wonderful book, I treasure my copy, even more so because Uwe signed it - Ever the nice guy!
Would you consider the addition of non stock custom basses?

It would be very difficult to achieve that.
Ze Kollekshun is the backbone of The Gibson Bass Book. Thanks to Uwe I had the opportunity to travel to Frankfurt and photograph all the bass guitars for the book. I simply can't afford to travel across the world to photograph other custom basses.
Having owners photograph their own custom bass is not going to work. The photographs will not be consistent in the lighting and quality.

 I've missed having you to try and trade humorous barbs with - Did you go with chrome plating for knee? I can't recall, but would consider it a victory over black.

Dave has secret info on me he threatened to use against me if I didn't return.  I'm at the hands of this man.

In principle, I'm not much of a social media person at all, see my other post, so this place here - and its people - is the exception.

I have long sensed that you are exceptional.

You Yanks and your obsessions!  I find the absence of fur overrated.

I don't get the appeal, never have. But I'm practically prehysterical.

To grow or not to grow.  Individual choice.  No preference one way or the other.  That song by Clapton, though, "Let It Grow," was supposedly a highlight of a successful album.  To me it's just an illustration that the old joke had merit:  What does Eric Clapton and a cup of coffee have in common?  They both suck without Cream.
