Heres a pic of me playing my white SG reissue. I love it Its punchier than Kimbo Slice on PCP. One thing that does bug me is the neck mudbucker is way louder than the bridge minibucker.

They're distinctive but in a big, wooly, tubby way. Like someone said; pick and fuzz gets you into awesome territory. I would not hesitate to snag one when I have the money for that kind of thing.

I don't understand why they call them that, Gibson didn't make an SG bass (from what I know). They were all the EB series, the SG was the guitar version. |

| | | | I believe because no one under 30 knows what a Gibson EB bass was (electric bass)
Most people know what an SG guitar is however. |

SG - LP pickup or modified form of one, that they use in their modern basses (both of them)

Perhaps it's the short scale. For whatever reason, the Gibson is just smoother in tone and feel overall, and ya gotta love the nitro lacquer smell. It keeps screaming "buy me!". |

I went to Bass pro shop and to my surprise they didn't have a single bass guitar.
