New bass day

Yes, it's backwards. Hilarious.

Gibson faded sg.

Being a lefty, it's really hard to make decisions on buying guitars/basses as I don't get to try them first. And wanting to stick with short scale wasn't helping matters. But I just went for it and ordered. I'm glad I did. This thing fits me perfect, I mean perfect. Looks rad. Sounds rad(although I am playing through a 15 year old hartke b30, haha). Neck pickup sounds nice and deep. Actually can get a not terrible slap tone from the bridge pickup, though a little off balance. Neck dives a bit. I use a three inch neoprene strap and could feel it wanting to fall, totally manageable though. I might switch to some smaller lighter tuners eventually though. I dig the faded Ebony finish, definitely feels better than any gloss I've touched. On with the pictures.

 

Apparently you can only do two pictures per post from a phone, haha.

 

I wanna thank 3234718 for recommending it to me as I didn't even know they made them.

 

I dig it, hard

 

I think it's 1.5" at the nut

 

Have you done anything to help with the neckdive?

It's not terrible on mine when the bass is in front of me, but I tend to hold it toward my side, kinda like Mr Cash. It dives really bad then.

 

I see.

I don't wanna go throwing too much money into mine yet. I would like some smaller, lighter tuners though.

 

Ditto. I'm kinda mad I gotta work six days in a row.

 

Wood grain is visible, just not really in the pictures. You can feel it, too
