    Gibson 20/20 Bass Wiring Diagram

    Hi folks, does anyone have a wiring diagram for the Gibson 20/20 bass? Here's a shot of the pickguard and electronics from Fly Guitars, but the connections and details are obscured. I've searched 'til the cows came home and cannot find a schematic or wiring diagram, or any detailed information...

    EB-2D wiring mods

    Hey all, Bought a well worn and modified 1967 EB-2D the other week (the mudbucker was changed to an old Guiid JS bass humbucker) and while I'm loving the sound of the neck PU, I'm not that keen on how bright and brittle the bridge pickup is and on the usefullness baritone switch. Is there any...

    NBD; You Know When You Found The One

    I have never understood the term "fun to play" until now. I'm not saying I won't buy any other basses from here on out, but I do feel like this bass has made me seriously question keeping a lot of my collection. I know I will be selling some basses that I don't, but a few more may see the market...

    NBD - Wait…a Les Paul BASS??!

    Went to Carbondale, Colorado 3 weeks ago, to visit my former NYC music partner, Dave. He owns Cool Brick Studios where he does audio, video and film scoring sessions. Of course, he broke out his acoustics and I grabbed a FSO and played for a good long while. Great fun! Then Dave suggested I try...

    Inspired by Guitar Players Rant, What Would You Do if You Are Gibson CEO?

    I'll start: 1. More serious about bass division 2. Bring some Epiphone basses to Gibson (i.e. JC bass, Woody Allen) 3. Bring back Grabber, Ripper, and EB from 2014 4. Make overseas Gibson (ala Fender MIM or MIJ) 5. Improve QC 6. More collaboration with Epiphone 7. More hollow body/semi hollow...

    NBD: 1978 Gibson RD Artist

    I got this bass in a trade. It was in kind of rough shape: bridge pickup was cutting out, switches were sticky, battery cover missing, G saddle gone, battery wire working but badly frayed. The neck and hardware seemed otherwise good though, and the weird compression/bright circuit worked. I...

    My friend and I are having an argument on how to attach the neck side of the strap on basses that use the strap button on the back (like some Gibson basses). Does the emblem side face the guitar or the body?

    Late 60's Gibson EB-1, refinished and hand carved with added PBass pickup
