Perfect but for the tone and that factory strap button position... I think I need to replace the pots in mine, too but that's not necessarily the bird's fault. If you do go for the Bartolinis I'm excited to hear what you guys think of them, as I am considering a total rewire when I replace...

What the the song leader at church sees when you show up with a 500w head and a 4x10

If you're a kid who has to tear down and set up a lot, who has to be their own bass tech, and who has only one bass amp to use for practice at home, practice with the band, for performing, and occasionally going to a jam or something, having one object to lug around that fits in the back seat or...

Happy belated birthday!

I own the old version of the Crush 100 1x15 and have been happy with it since day one. It sounds fantastic to my ears, and when I've played through it at jam sessions and small town punk gigs, it's had more than enough power; and it gets compliments from people whose opinion I respect, who have...

Did you folks see the Mike Dirnt signature Grabber G-3? https://www.gibson.com/products/epiphone-mike-dirnt-grabber-g-3-natural-exclusive?view=epiphone

I agree on the production numbers being higher than that. We have years of production for a lot of these, and I remember seeing NOS Pelham Blue's as late as 2012, I even had the last one Musician's Friend had in my cart at one point. It sold before I could buy it and I got my white one, which...

I don't see anything wrong with what you did. I've seen a white one parted out on Reverb. At least you saved it from that, and those pups are gonna get a new life on that gold top.

Wow! I don't think I've ever seen a CSLE burst. Has anybody in the club ever reached out to Gibson/Epiphone to see if they'd be willing to officially state how many variants they've made or the production numbers? They pop up on Reverb and Ebay but I'm really curious about the CSLE line. I...

Some of my favorite pickups. I'd kinda like to try putting them on one of those old through-neck Washburns you can sometines find around $500. Also curious about comparing them side by side to some of the Seymour Duncan rail pups that are in a PAF sized package. I've had an eye out for an ebony...

I'm very happy with my white CSLE, they're excellent basses. I have a few nitpicks about stock bolt-on Epis and the earlier CSLE's that came with the standard pups and no strap button on the heel, but for the money even a modern E1 is a pretty good instrument. I find it pretty amusing that...

I feel the same way about the black hardware on the pelham blue version. I originally wanted the pelham blue but they were gone by the time I'd saved up, so I went with the white. In retrospect I'm glad I got the white one. I don't exactly dislike the standard plastic pups and black hardware...

Looks like a nice, and extremely versatile build. I have some similar ideas for a build I've slowly been collecting parts for. I'm sure your nephew will be over the moon. What a generous and thoughtful gift. If you ever decide you want to part with the original shielded rail pups it came with...

Free shipping though!

Sheesh, I paid $349 for mine. That was NOS in 2012 though.
