FINE! I won't include pics, but I own MANY G&Ls, and don't think any of them are "living room/lounge refined." All of mine are relatively battle scarred though. To me I can't get away from the MFD pick ups or those old G&L necks.
Also must say I've never owned any Gibson bass, but I'm looking at them now, mostly thanks to this site. I come from a guitar background, and couldn't ever find a happy place with Gibsons playing-wise. Always loved the looks, just something about my hands made them sound horrid. Maybe I'll end up with a room full of those next!
