All - and I repeat: all - SG shape bass three pup combos were my invention and solely mine. Will you all testify for me when I take them to court?

I kinda like the utilitarian look of it - sort of like it dropped off a US Army truck with military equipment crates.

You even tried to entice me to rout my 1970 slothead EB-0L for extra pickups!

BTW I love that pickguard. A thick ply of white and then two thinner black and white laminates on top of it. Very elegant, and reminiscent of old arch-top guards with a delicate gold line painted near the edge.

What do you think of the HP (?) engraving on the TRC?

Indeed!


Maybe a little sunshine and less court time though!

You mean my complexion was sort of gollum'ish?  :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Perhaps an undetected omega-3 insufficiency? I need to eat more fish!!!

They can feel free to send me one! It probably even sounds good.

Their next version will have a shell casing inlay.  :mrgreen:

Cool looking bass, though I would have gone for two T-bird pups like Uwe.

What and where is this 5-way toggle they mention? I only see three knobs and an output jack. And what is "HP"? And why is the one knob different than the others? So many questions!  ;D

I'm guessing the black knob is 5-way rotary.

I always wondered what you looked like under all that drag queen clobber. You can't fake those cheekbones!

Where do you see HP? I don't see it.

Back in 2017 Gibson started using T to designate its traditional models and HP for the non-traditional extras (e.g. Min-E-Tune) but these went out under the new management.
