Okay, posting here for the first time (I was at the pit for a long time and the bottomline before that - good to see many of the same names here including Tony who started this thread - also cool after my hiatus to see that the BaCHbirds came to be a reality as I remember the early discussions at the pit).

Anyway, some pics:
with my '64 opening for Deep Purple - Olympic Stadium, Wroclaw, Poland - "Breslau" for Uwe ;), 1 May, 2009:


Can see the bass better here - and that's what we all care about....


Not a Gibson but my other main axe - 1930s Pfretzschner aluminum:


Anyway, late to the party but glad to see things didn't die after the pit.

Welcome back!


As for Matt's LP: Nice and I had no idea that the Epis have 22 frets. That is indeed an advantage, nothing like a high E on a bass to be obnoxious with!  8)

now what's THAT???

A Gibson Custom Shop Acoustic Bass in Super 400 shape, fretless, medium scale and with a passive piezo. Built in 1999 by then Gibson master luthier Phil Jones. Spruce top, EXTREMELY resonant, no sustain block, feedbacks immediately at higher volumes (not good for unplugged sessions with drummers), but sounds like a dream in the studio. A one off model possibly for a NAMM show. A magnetic pup model in L5 shape was also built around that time, but I've never seen pics of it (Phil has confirmed to me though that he built it, but has no clue of the whereabouts).

Nice natural satin Money you have there, I defretted mine because it had a great fretless "sleeping" in it:
