Vending your "V" ...

Gotta be a little creative, spaghetti top, blond pig tails and a resounding F# major chord (though that empty E string is gonna drone a little, dear!) all help:

That said, it seems to be a nice specimen and the BIN is reasonable for the (albeit miraculous) collectibillity of these beasts. It will probably end up in a Flying V guitar collection.

is that an original Gibson ad or a photoshop experiment?

looks like a nice country girl to me...like her more than the bass.

How bout an Epi T-Bird?

V girl is hotter, but that's a total Photochop job.

How sad... what sprung out first (no rude comments, pur-lease) was that yellow transluscent instrument to the right of the "Brian May"...

Oh no... I'll be hankering for chifon next...

Uwe, you actually noticed what chord she was playing. Better get yourself to a doctor for a checkup.

That's a bargain compared to what I've seen in the past few years. Unfortunately it's not in my budget.

Yeah, I decided after I posted that I'd have to do some further "research" to decide.

Yes, give me some more pictures of Girlie with Gibson, so I can choose Girlie or Gibson...
right now it is Girlie: 2, Gibson: 0

Yes! an' it's about time!

For purification of mind, it should at least stay a "girls with Gibson or Epi basses" please. No Warwick witches, Fender floozies, Ernie Ball babes etc!

eb2 · July 18, 2009, 10:41:39 AM

I like them both. At the same time. I would just sit ...wait a second. I am a closet Duff.

Getting back to the V, I like it, don't know what I'd to with it but it is cool, anyone ever play one of these, do they sound good? Are they awkward to play?
