GIBSON Club. Part II

View attachment 993920 And speaking of Les Paul basses... sad to have to let this one go! It's in the classifieds now.
For Sale - Beautiful Les Paul LPB Premium 5 - owned by Tom Hamilton!

You'd get twice as much if it was signed by Liv Tyler and Alicia Silverstone

Here's mine.... an early 70's Gibson Les Paul Triumph. It's my second one, let my original one go in the early 80's for way too cheap. Live & Learn.
Saw this one an ebay liquidation site with a Buy It Now price under a grand. Didn't think twice about hitting the mouse. Pretty poor set-up when it arrived. A previous owner had drilled holes in the body for a 'string thru' effect. There was also some backbow on the neck. Over time the extra string tension on the bridge had made it bow in the middle, so I bought a Hipshot replacement and took it to our local guru to fill in the holes, install the bridge and do a proper set-up. It responded well to his touch and now it plays great. I also set it up for a Hip-Sling strap to take some of the weight off my shoulder.
It was a wide range of tones, and sounds good through all of my amps. Glad to have a Gibson back in my bass family... especially this model.

Just received my Gibson bass book today. It is very well done! I was a bit hesitant to spend the $ on a book sight unseen, but now that it is in hand, I think it is worth every penny. Hats off to Basvarken!

I had a little fun getting some pics with it.

Also goes well with my book on my other Gibson love:

Love my 1969 EBO - has a Dimarzio pickup in it and it sounds awesome - not muddy!
