Members L-1329 Posted February 9, 2008 Members Share Posted February 9, 2008 Gibson makes basses? So many bassists, so few know a real Gibby... Thats the real deal right there. Those and a few other Gibson basses were at the very top of the pile when they came out. Heck, this one still is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members misterhinkydink Posted February 10, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 10, 2008 So how do you like the Money bass? I've been contemplating one of those. I really like it. A very nice neck and great tone. The pickups are really high output and overdrive a tube amp nicely. With SDOTD and the 20 percent of coupon it's a great deal.

Members blueyedmule Posted February 10, 2008 Members Share Posted February 10, 2008 Post yours. Mine Is your EB-3 a long-scale? I might just have to get a few more beers in me and break in tonight. . ... That's what I want as far as EB's go, long-scale. I've got a T-bird reissue, Gibson not Epi. Too many beers to go get it off of photobucket. . ..ok, hang on. . . Ok, she exists now since there's pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a chance to pick one up about 10 years ago in a music store. It was a NOS in red for $500. I could kick myself for not buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hopi Posted February 10, 2008 Members Share Posted February 10, 2008 sweet : My first "real" bass was a Ripper like that one. Got it when I was 14. Had to sell my GT BMX bike to get it. lol! Before that, I was learning on some short-scale POS with the brand "encore" on it, and then a Sears catalog p-bass. Anyway, here's a tragic tale... saw a newspaper ad, and when I read "Gibson Bass-$170," I was expecting a T-bird or Explorer body-style, and then my Dad drives me over to the guy's place, and the guy brings out this huge thing that looked like the Great-Gazoo from the Flintstones. I bought it anyway, and hated the damn thing, but loved playing it (was the early 90's... every bass was supposed to have svelte body and reversed hockey-stick for a neck). Well one day, I lost the damn house key, and had to sneak in through a basement window (also my bedroom window, of course), and with no footing, I let go and landed tailbone-first right against the heel of the body. Split the set neck, got pissed off and threw it in the trash. Ironically, after that I didn't even consider playing again until 14 years later, but still kept the old Gibson case (found the bridge plate in a box of my one of my dad's pack-rat boxes, too), and the first bass I buy fits right in it (Schecter Studio 5). The mold and mildew in there even makes the 2-year old Korean bass smell like a vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Real MC Posted February 10, 2008 Members Share Posted February 10, 2008 I used to have an RD Artist. Well built bass and good for certain sounds (Esp the Entwistle piano bass sound) but my Jazz bass and Alvarez six shooter suited my style better. Not knocking Gibson basses, they're good basses but only for certain styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
