Cool 3 knobber! Real Junior vibe on that one.

Yeah, I dunno why, I had no great interest in the LP basses until I saw that particular one pop on Ebay and I just lost my mind.

I don't actually play it out that often because it's my heaviest and hardest to play bass, the neck feels about three miles long and half a mile thick
But goddamn it sounds good.  I looove the combination of mahogany and ebony.  The Genz-Benz shuttle 6.0 head I got recently doesn't hurt either.  Really rocking combination... crank the input gain on the amp and it just roars.

Nice Grog & welcome. When I saw Les a few years back he played his low impedance Paul the whole show.

Perfect sets of twins! How long did it take you getting them together?

[Grog]

Thanks for the welcome! One of the things I regret putting off until it was too late was meeting Les Paul before he passed away. I would have enjoyed talking to him about Low Impedance Guitars & Basses. I have been collecting Gibson Basses & matching guitars for about 20 years. It took about five years to collect the three sets in the picture, I've had them for close to ten years. I submitted this picture to the VG Readers Gallery shortly after I acquired the LP-12 amp two years ago. It was published 3 weeks after I sent it, Aug 07.

What is the story behind the diagonal pickups on the Triumph and 'Recording' bass? Never saw that before.
