Damn hoss, this is supposed to be a bass forum, not a gun show!  ;D
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

If it sounds as good as it looks, you have a winner.

...THUD...

Part of the original Grand Funk Railroad sound was the combination of Mel Schacher's Fender bass with the Guild Humbucker added and the West amps he played through.  Kids....sheesh.   :mrgreen:



I may be wrong, however.  I was under the impression that it was the Guild pickup he used, but it could be a Gibson.  I need an expert here.
