    Gibson as it should be (Well, for some)

    I actually do not like the sound of the DiMarzio Neck Pickup, I think the original SG neck pickup sounds sweet. But the supertone bridge is a big improvement, made a big difference on my SG bass.

    Not-floppy short shortscale flats?

    I would say the precision flats is what you are looking for, I think they have this midrange snap you are looking for played with a pick. But they are light gauge in shortscale but I don't think they feel floppy. (cheap too)

    Not-floppy short shortscale flats?

    If you don't like the 760FM don't buy the short ones they sound the same GHS will give you a darker thumpier sound more old school Chromes is brighter than labellas but still closer in sound and feel than the GHS to the 760FM's I love and use GHS on my Danelectro shortscale I...

    Not-floppy short shortscale flats?

Simple but it works ;) Chromes is very tight (to tight for me) and I used the trix with the ball ends with them. Now I...

    Gibson SG Reissue players

    Try using a razor blade or another sharp instrument to cut the silk wrapping that goes over the bridge off. I had a simular experience with a dead E on my beloved SG Bass, and it was because the string was a little twisted, so try to loosen it and make sure it is absolutely straight before...

    What's the best version of the SG bass?

    I Have a SG Standard bass from 2010, and it is a great sounding instrument, the epiphone eb3 is a toy compared to it. With rounds it is quite versatile I think (I have no problems playing slap on it) and with flats, I can get the great jack bruce tube overdrive. The bridge pickup on the SG is...
