Ken’s bird after he took the Babicz off and reinstalled the original bridge (obriginal?)I haven't seen a white Goth (that I remember anyhow) but I saved this pic years ago. A BlackBird refinished in white with "bloodsplatter" on it.
Based on the gold remarks, it’s Ft Knox.
Took the VP for a spin last night for the first time in...hell, maybe 8-months. I've been using the Grecobackers mostly live, but decided to bring the 'bird out. Sounded massive like it always does! Ran it into my 360 and 300 combo into a 4x12 I have loaded with Eminence 2012s. Covered both Bee Gees and Mountain easily. Now if only I could find a pickup cover!

That's a classic example of a great player playing solidly in the groove who just happens to b playing a T-bird. If not knowing what bass he or she was playing - there's nothing to differentiate it from any other bass guitar. At least in this case. The short and the long of it - it's the player not the bass.

Did the US get the song Sky High by the English band JigSaw ?
It was a hit here and a theme song for that Aussie movie I mentioned earlier.
Played over the opening credits for T M F HK

I checked too. The Simmons (I thought it was to be discontinued), the Rex, and the NR. The regular Tobacco Burst said discontinued, with a note “no longer available online.” And the Jr. Tribute has a “notify me when available” button (I thought it was discontinued?). Bottom line is that I suspect the regular Reverse will continue, they just need to decide in what finish for the next run.
Maybe they want to sell a few more Simmons birds & Rex birds before putting more standard ones out
I love Inverness green but I wish they would do a NR in Vintage Copper finish.. If you're reading this someone at Gibson then get it done!!
I’ve posted this before. This was my gig mobile in the 70’s
1967 Checker Marathon 4 door station wagon. A poor kids 55 Chevy Nomad.
It hauled a 3 piece band. Guys in front on the bench seat and PA / gear in the back.
Good to see you guys were cognizant of the need for hydration. What was in it? Junglejuice?
Hippies. They'll never amount to anything.
@bylar13 did it better.I haven't seen a white Goth (that I remember anyhow) but I saved this pic years ago. A BlackBird refinished in white with "bloodsplatter" on it.
