I took my SG RI out this weekend.

I love the looks and sound of my SG Reissue Bass but in one way or another I don't take her out that much. This weekend I decided to give her a spin. Those pics were made during a Boilersuit gig. The next day I used it again with the La La Lies and those pics will follow later. I had a Boilersuit gig too that day (three gigs in two days) and I used my 50s P for that.

Cool Chris!

Those basses always look good - and I like their sound.  Definite winners.

Lookin' cool!

Fender-groveller!

[Dave W]

Looks great. How did it sound and fit in with either group?

[Chris P.]

Uwe, I mentioned the Fender just to upset you:)

The nice thing about the SGRI, imho, is that it has has some different and decent usable sounds. I played both shows with both the pick ups fully open, At the pics you can see me play with both pick ups as thumb rest; above the neck pick up and underneath the bridge pick up. Playing more heavily towards the bridge gives a rumbling growling rock sound, which is a bit (sorry, Uwe) Fender-ish so good for rock songs. Playing near the neck gives a nice warm, fat, clean, smooth, big sound which is great for ballads. For The La La Lies I played near the bridge only and for Boilersuit I played near the neck for some slower songs.

Both times I played at the venue's rig. Boilersuit: An old Trace head with a Fender 1x15 cab. The La La Lies: An Eden head with Eden 2x10 and 2x12.

Are you putting on weight?

Great pics! Very good photography.
In theses days of "no-depth-perception-every-picture-looks-flat" digital cameras, is nice to see some great pictures like these.

I like the 3 knobs, no switch controls on those RI, but I think they could made a better layout for it. It just looks kinda clumsy to me.
Functionality wise, is the placement OK?

You should title this work of art Crispy & His Better Half.

MANorexia?

Yeah, last couple of months I did. But I'm trying to get rid of it now! But I also believe you girls like a bit of a belly on a guy?

Both pics were made by semi-pros and nit by some hobbyists. And yep, that's me with the other girl.
I like this lay out, but I like the normal EB3 lay out better, if we talk looks only. But this'll do right. I thought of adding a pick up switch or changing the tone pot to a pu switch, but I don't know. It works. I don't switch pick ups in the middle of songs and it's quite easy to change between songs by rolling back the volume of one of the pus.

Have to start wearing your bass a bit higher Chris.  (Like I can talk!  )

[Chris P.]

Well, normally I have my Bird and P even lower. I just have to get rid of some fat:)

[uwe]

Lay off the guy! It's just some puppy fat, it'll wear off over time.
