The Paul

I dig it other than the tune-o-matic bridge. Wish they still had the deal going with the warwick bridge on the pre 07' models. What do you prefer about the neck binding? cosmetics only?

As far as I'm concerned it is only cosmetic.

It does however add a more "expensive" look to the bass in my opinion.

I think that black is classy and mean. I'm thinking a Harley Davison Fat Boy. Nice. PS. Thanks for the GAS.

Really nice Jeff! You've got me thinking now too! I dig the reponsiveness of an active pickup system and if I could get that in a passive bass. I guess I have gas now too! Or I should say more gas! People said when I started gigging I would get over the gas and I'm playing out almost every weekend now and I'm still gassy as hell!

Of the three colors available, I definitely prefer this one! It matches the headstock better than the other two color options.

Hey, is that an ebony or rosewood fingerboard? I heard Gibson has a shortage of ebony after that business with the government. Some people are saying the guitars they're now building with their baked rosewood actually sound better

Thanks all for the compliments, and it is a rosewood board.

Cool. Actually I had it mixed up. They had their rosewood supply confiscated so now they're making some guitars with baked maple

Funny, but I have been gas less for some time... then I open this thread and find myself reaching for the Beano!
Sweet bass and play it like it owes you money!
