This is one of the best balanced basses Gibson ever made. Very lightweight. Quite rare too, as you say. This is only the third one I've seen on TalkBass.

I use Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Rounds on mine. :thumbsup:

Yup, balances like a P, sounds like a Thunderbird and has tons of low end. I'll have to try out some Jazz Rounds, what gauges do you have on yours? The EB Slinkies on there now are just a little too tight for the truss rod.

TI Jazz Rounds are guaged: .043 - .051 - .068 - .089 - .118. Sounds weird, but very balanced tension. The mahogany set neck also behaves much better if the humidity is somewhat controlled.

*love playing mine... I just gigged it out tonight, mostly because of this thread. :thumbsup:

They're pretty expensive, huh? If I decide to keep this old girl (and I just might) then I'll put a set on :)
