Sweetwater sent me photos of the bass before they shipped it out. Here's the bass I'll be getting (supposedly) on Friday.



















Looks pretty decent to me. Obviously not exactly like the real thing, but I feel like it's pretty good for $500!

They sent me the same pics, I think it's a nice 'Bird at a great price!

Scott's IP rights have no doubt been aggressively pirated, even ravaged here.

Why did no one else think of a TBird with a little deeper cutaway before? Or do the faithful among ye take that to be as superfluous as the 22 fret Ps and Js? Anyway, I like how this turned out, just the right amount of extra cutaway without interfering too much with the classic shape.

I do wonder though whether the use of the traditional TB Plus pups on Epiphone basses is a harbinger for an imminent change in pups in the Gibson TBirds? Gibson generally doesn't compromise the hardware of the upmarket brand like that unless we are talking about premium Epis such as the Elitist series, but these new Epi Birds aren't in that category. The new pups on the G-3 and the EB bass might see some other future deployment, don't you think?

Mark, once the bass is here I expect you to play it "where the money stops" and where your Nasty co-Habitants don't allow you to play - i.e. up very high - and divulge your intrusive experience here in all gynecological detail! "I pulled her G string up high and she obliged effortlessly." Same applies to you, Xavier!!! No phony excuses.

Objection!!! He's not a high register noodler at all!!! The man can play in any key across the whole fretboard. Not one of those pentatonic chuggers that either play below the seventh fret or below the 19th because they can transpose the scale only once and then only in a full octave.  Hmmmmphfff!

I play a lot on the upper register. A LOT. I'm looking forward to seeing how it feels up there.

That, young man, is a very good thing. Heaven starts from the 12th fret on up.

As if Mark was hesitant with his noodle anywhere.
