Thanks much for posting that review OzzyGreg, that is a gorgeous looking instrument. I have my eye on one at this very moment. Don't really need another bass, but you can never have too many.

What a great looking bass! I’ve never played a hollow body.

How’s that 3 point bridge working for you?

I had an Epi Thunderbird with one and I hated it! Junk! Maybe because it was an Epi and not a Gibson. Nice score. Really looks bad***!

My Jack Casady had the three-point bridge, and I swapped it for a Hipshot. The Hipshot is easier to adjust, but I personally don't hear any difference in the tone or balance. I'm going to keep the stock three-point bridge on the 335, for some reason I think it looks better...

Did you pay asking price or make a lower offer? I was really going to offer about $100 lower and figured I'd wait a bit.

Really nice looking bass.

I went lower, and he gave me a reasonable counter-offer, so we were both happy with the deal. Considering the asking price of the others online, I got a great deal...

I bought one a few years back and did a little review on it if you're interested...

Great review...I think I ran across it when I was GASSING.

This video didn't help (not my bass, but watching this over and over got me hooked on how sexy it looks):

I’d say you certainly did!

This is nice. I have always loved the ES 335 guitars, its a shame they didn't do more ES-335 basses, a really cool find. I would love to add one of these, the only thing is I have never even seen one in the wild.

From Reverb to stage in record time!

Another shot of the 335 at a gig last Saturday...Wondering about painting the inside edges of the f-holes white to give it them a bit of pop?

I think that’s a great idea!

Great-lookin' bass! But I'm even MORE jealous of your music room. Sweet!

What a great looking bass! I’ve never played a hollow body.

I picked up a Gibson Thunderbird Studio recently. It's one of those T-Birds that does NOT have the 3-point bridge. I like it a lot. (The bass and the bridge.)

Sorry for the derail, DWLANG! Enjoy that beauty!

beauty and the beast!

congrats on your new instrument!

The ES-335 quickly replaced my Jack Casady as my #1 bass, and makes the JCB feel kind of cheap...
