Even though not a true Gibson SG, the body shape was inspired on it.
I made this as a sort of tribute to the SG.

This is absolutely stunning both as art and as an instrument!

mr - I really like the finish on your bass! It has a kinda "all business" perfect gig bass vibe going on. What's the finish called?
That pic hits all my sweet spots...
... a sharp looking SG, corona beer, Fender Strat, NFL, Markbass cabs, and even a fellow bearded bass player!
Great bass, great pic!
Hey blab - I followed this build and was very impressed with how it came out. That's some really sweet looking wood on that body! Being able to build your own pro quality basses really opens up a lot of options for a left handed player! So now that you've had it a while is there anything you would have done differently?Even though not a true Gibson SG, the body shape was inspired on it.

Nice pair! Kind of a stage and studio set. I'm an SG and Gibson newbie so I don't have much experience with these basses outside of the one I own. Do you find the two you own sound alike, or does each have distinct voicing?I'm in! I love the SG.
The option are limitless, the only thing that might be hindering me is my imagination, but so far that hasn't been a problem.
The only thing I would probably do different now is moving the bridge parts a little further down the body.
I realty like that walnut color. If I get a second SG, it will be that color.
Thanks
It's Fireburst Satin. Has almost a chameleon effect, sometimes the outside edge of the burst looks purple.
Next one might have to be cherry though
Thanks! I'm thinking if I were to get a second it would be Cherry Red. Such a great colour on a bass.
Gigged mine this morning. Sounded good backing two acoustic guitars and a piano. It's wearing LaBella flats which paradoxically makes a fairly versatile bass.
Recently sold my EB0, but will uplroad pictures anyway. I do still love the look and sound
I've nothing against a little beat up, quite the contrary! I love seeing basses that have been played
#10 for OldCityBassman
I'm in. Here's my '06 Standard. She"s got a Hipshot bridge and dead flats on her.
I have had guards cut for other basses by Pickguardian, might be an option.
Welcome to the SG-EB club!
#11 for friendlybass
Not sure whats more awesome, the SG, the dead flats, or the Sunn head/cab setup.
Welcome to the club Dubsly, you're #12!
