Hello everyone .. I'm tominjo.from Serbia. I found this site and liked what I have in it the theme of LP stjle bass. I bought a bass guitar that is very old, but it has no label, as is clearly painted me so interested that you may have some of the visitors of this site know that the guitar is concerned

Here is a bump. I'd be interested to see if anyone can ID this bass. Seeing as you are in the former Yugoslavia, maybe someone familiar with the basses in your part of the world will have some input on this. Typically you have to give it about 24 hours before the comments start coming in. Also a headstock photo would be helpful. My guess would be that this may be a Jolana?
EDIT: I would also add that if you start a new thread to ask this question, it will get better noticed and should get more responses.
Far Right, Epiphone Les Paul. Needs new pickups & re-wiring. My next project.
Those pickups are tough to find, anyone have any leads?

I had my requisite LPS Epiphone for a short while.
It played very well, had yards of sustain and generally was in great voice.
It was also made of concrete and weighed about the same. It was also used, and with those two strikes, I used it as trade-in fodder.
Looking at this pix, Gee! That was two years ago:::
From that point on, I only buy new --------- or build it myself.
I kinda miss it - but don't really.

Sweet trio! Wish Hamer was still around making basses like that. How do you like the pickups, (sludgebuckers?), in the M-85 bass?
Sweet, I always wondered about those pickups and I love the body style on those Guilds. I'm going to subscribe to this thread so I can post my custom LP shape Stambaugh when it's done.
It's a beautiful example, whatever it is. Perhaps a shot of the headstock might help?
Here's a beaut - Greco Les Paul
A little less cute but a carved top LP can't really be ugly - Epiphone 5er

Hi i'm new to talkbass but not to instruments,
What pups do you guys recommend for a fretless les paul bass? 30" scale semi-hollow construction.

Pickups for a semi hollow fretless Les Paul with a 30" scale? Sounds like a custom build. It depends what sound you're after. What are your tone goals? A raw hot rocking passive tone or a hi fi active set up with multiple tone shaping possibilities. If it's in the spirit of a Les Paul Bass, I'd recommend you throw in some dual humbuckers like Rio Grande pit bulls, DiMarzio X2n or get some Gibson TBplus buckers if you can find them on E-bay. TVJones pickups could look good in an LP Bass but they might not be as hot or aggressive.
Thanks SturmUndDang
I want it to be a bit bright so i can use the tone knob and use passives, yes, in the spirit of a Les Paul (florentine) Bass

I remember someone on another forum saying they used the DiMarzios for an 8 string LP bass. Come to think of it I think it was two D activator X neck pickups they were using. They said they had a similar vibe to the Gibson TB+
