how is Gibson les paul money

A Gibson Les Paul is not money.

It is a guitar.

but a Gibson Les Paul Money is neither, it's a bass.

Les Paul Money Basses are super nice players, and have a real nice feel to them! Good rock bass, with a beautiful finish................I have one, have not played it much, but can't bring myself to sell it...............Lots of fun! :bassist:

Yup, I agree 100%. It's definitely a rock tone, I haven't played mine a lot as it doesn't fit tonally all that well in my normal Church gig - but it is a very nicely finished, excellent quality unique instrument.
 
They are a fantastic bass, especially for the price....last year was the time to buy as they weren't selling great, and they could be had on the 'Bay for $600 or less.

You can get a nice Jazzy sound with just Bridge PU, nice P-bass sound with just neck PU, and two pickups all the waaay are HOT for rock'n'roll! For me, it's great for slapping and feel.

They sound even better with a pick for the rockin' stuff.
 
some guy want to trade my les paul studio with a money bass.
I am interesting in Gibson bass for a long time,but never palyed one,so how's les paul money?


is the lp studio a guitar and is it a gibson or epiphone? if it's an epiphone and he wants to make a straight trade, go for it. if the lp studio is a gibson, depending on condition, it may be worth a bit more than the money bass.
 
noo! dont do it - gibson loaned me one of these whilst in america and while i have played some nice gibsonsbefore this was truly horrible - honky middle range, truss rod rattling around in the neck, the body is really small and the neck really long - i had to wear it like mark king almost to manage to play it!!

this is just my opinion tho.... you might love the things i hate!
