The mother of all polls: Nicest Gibson design used for bass, visually speaking??

[Grog]

I voted for the Hobbit & the hollow bodied basses, but I would have liked to have added the EB-1 & the 20/20 also.................. I want a recount!!!

[Pilgrim]

Uwe didn't give me my options, but just to be clear -

The two I'd pick are the 335-bass and the SG-bodied EB-0. Both classics, both practically perfect in look and function.

[Highlander]

Use options 4 and (nearest to 335) 8, Al... that's your EB0 and EB2 slots...

[Droombolus]

a warm spot for the original EBO (although Hamer did them better

Yeah, but their PUPs look like crap and are mounted on the wrong place .........

Hey, Uwe, that's a fantastic painting of EP and the Girl from the Lapland country. Is there anywhere else on the net where I can find it?

Oh my! I was thinking why does poor Ilan of all people here have to stumble across a site that at first sight seems to echo Nazi art after I had first posted a pic I had found when I googled "Lapland" - those nudes are too close for comfort for me to Leni Riefenstahl photography and other "Aryan" art like this here.




But once you look closer, you see that while the artist heavily cites "Germanische Kunst" (which was influenced by romantic Scandinavian art no doubt) he happily does so tongue in cheek, not only on the paintings with Elvis. There is also more than a bit of Helmut Newton in it.



PS: Explanation for our younger as well as American viewers: That is, yes, pubic hair those ladies sport.

Much appreciated, Ilan.

Don't you love it when the neighborhood girls just sit around the yard nude? 

[Stjofön Big]

Weeeeelll... never knew Elvis had been around my areas.... At least he left them reindeers alone... And the bears... And the birds... Whoops, that he did not, I understand! Well, the reindeers, and the bears, he left alone...

Well, as your Queen I 'm somewhat predictable - you know I love Thunderbirds above all. I added it's endearing ugly/way cool sister the RD as a second.

However, as I age disgracefully and realize I won't be prancing around in a miniskirt onstage forever I think one each of these would be very nice.

Great choice! And I agree. I'd love to pick one up.

I voted SG-shape. I still love that shape (and think I voted the same last time around). I like it even more since I got hold of an SG-Z last year (it looks great in Ebony finish). Second vote is LP, just because both the Triumph and Standard are great basses.

[Highlander]

Much appreciated, Ilan. 

Fins, Uwe... Fins...

The IV was a really good bass, but would be visually more appealing with a 4 in line headstock.
