97 Gibson SG Bass

[OldManC]

So here it is. Any guesses as to whether this was a special order, a prototype, or..? Mark, I'll get pics with the pickup rings next weekend. 

I'm commuting between LA and Utah most weekends, so I didn't get a chance to play it through an amp yet. I'll post a complete review when I can. In the meantime, here's how it looks:

Very nice! I like the neck inlay and the Lp-style toggle with black plate.

Is the headstock loner than normal?

[Dave W]

I like it better up close than in the auction pics.

I'm thinking prototype, not special order.

 Very nice ! It has a little wear on the back, someone must have liked playing it. Sure is purty.

That is really a cool bass.......awesome score George!

[Lightyear]

I saw this one when it was first listed and I instantly loved it - looks even better in your pics. 

This is a great score!

[OldManC]

Thanks guys! I haven't compared it yet, but the headstock looks very similar to my EB4. It looks pretty cool being so long... Ok, I gotta hit the road and be back at work at 5:30AM. See ya!

[TBird1958]

I don't envy your commute, admire your love of family. Right on George!

[ramone57]

that is sweet!   looks really good in the red lined case, too.

I look forward to a full report and how it compares with your white short scale one.

Some rings around those pups from Dave at Fret Not would be cool too!

[Rhythm N. Bliss]

Gorgeous! Case an' all

Congratulations! Great score at any price.
