Thanks Dave and Joe.  I think there is so much Gibson could do with their bass line.  They don't seem to lack for imagination when it comes to doing 500 variations of an LP guitar.  But basses?  Not happening!

I'm gonna be proud to take this puppy out for a gig now and then.

not a fan (pun) of the moderne headstock, but like the body


Too bad the LP did not have the ice cream cup headstock, that would have been perfect. Wonderful job on the LP. another winner

Im really not either but together  w/ the body etc it works. The GOM  is a reverse  explorer w a similar headstock and  the  direct drive tuners. I think its well done except for the powder coated pups.

Wow, weird headstock for sure!  I'm sure it does work well with that funky body.  Be sure to start a dedicated thread with this bass project so no one misses it here.

Yo Doc, that LP turned out sweet.  Good job.

Thanks Granny.  I'm really happy with it all the way around.  It sounds great.  Someday I'll figure out how to record and post my basses!
