Members Ferdinandstrat Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 They are decent, for that price, excellent. But a bit neck heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sxyryan Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 I had a Goth T bird for a long time. I always liked it. It had a big thick sound and played pretty nicely. The finish was fugly though (flat black). It was fairly neck heavy, but I play bass strung high and with the neck tilted high in the air, so it didn't bother me too much. I sold it because I fell in love with a J Bass that I got an excellent price on, and the bolt on neck bugged me. Nothing against them, and I don't think tone is really effected by the bolt ons, but Gibsons should be set neck (or in this case, neckthrough).

I picked one up for a Benjamin last year. Mine is MIK, '06, the Saein/Shine plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
