Now there is a conversation piece! I just hope that is an import knockoff, and not a real LP.

from what i've read, i know it won't suck...but still. and since GC has to special order it, i can't return it..
*cries*
*quotes self*

You don't want to do that. Trust me.
if you're so worried about it, i'd suggest getting one from musicians friend, then returning it. they have a better return policy than your guitar center.
yeah...but until my other bass sells(which it won't sell anytime soon) i won't have the extra $300. and since i don't have a job...i will...never...get the money until my birthday(which is in sept.) or some other occasion.
i guess i'll just have to worry.

lol, well, hang in there. can't you get a ride somewhere, or take a road trip, where there might be one you could play?
i know no one with a gt-7. i know one person that lives in georgia with seven a string bass(es) *cough* you *cough*, but not a gt-7.

you're in georgia? where?
one of my customs is very similar in dimensions to a gt7, you could check it out if you like.

Is it at least posted in the "gear for sale" forum here at TalkBass?
i live in gainesville, which north of atlanta. don't you live near six flags or something. i'll have to talk to my mom about it.
i had i there before, but then i put it on ebay. i got bids...and the winning bidder has not come through with the money. he had zero feedback and hasn't e-mailed me once since the closing. so i'm in the process of turning him to ebay, and until i'm done, i can't relist it, or put it back on talkbass.
Sorry, it's a Gibson... apparently quite a few of these "Flilted" maple tops were made in the 80s, though i don't really get how they could pass through the factory. I can just guess how some sellers are gonna claim they'll have a special collectors value in a few decades!

you gotta admit, it does look interesting, although the flamed bit looks like ****.
So,
I've been a 6 player for several years. Yesterday I traded some stuff to lweaver, and one of the items I received was a GT-7.
I had a gig last night, and took it to rehearsal to see how it sounds.
Oh. My. God.
This bass is so amazing, that I played it for my entire gig. I can understand why people are obsessed with conklins. With the quality of this axe (it's korean?) I can't imagine how nice his customs are.
7 strings might still be too many for me, but I may have to get a 6 made.

Bill's stuff is pretty spectacular. we've just ironed out the details of my new custom and he's starting it after NAMM!
welcome to the cult, man. one of us, one of us...
from the depths of groove,

You dog you! I've been eyeing that one for awhile, did bass central cut you a good deal? The asking price seemed a hair steep to me.
are the electronics on the BD 9 volt or 18 volt? also,if its 18V then you have to use two 9 v batteries correct?
I payed less then they're going for on musicians friend, so I'm pretty happy
Defeldus, the electronics are 9v
