I’ve got some cool metal knobs I’d like to sell that go great on Burst, Natural and Black birds:

Antique Brass (on burst)

Bright Brass (on natural)

shiny Stainless Steel (on black)
View attachment 5370772 View attachment 5370773

The shiny brass is brighter than it looks in the pics.

These are set screw and fit nicely over my original Gibson pots that are on the three pre-2000 basses they are currently on.

I’d like $40 per set plus $6 shipping.

I have been eye-balling those knobs. You recommend them?
 
My new Greco is here! This is my first Tbird. Ive always been drawn to P bass width necks, so when I learned greco’s had the wider nut, I knew it was the bird for me. I got this on reverb for a fair price given the condition. I already changed the pickup to a Gibson reissue. I also gave the bass a good cleaning and a quick setup and it’s sounding and feeling great! I have band practice here in a couple hours, so I’ll be able to give it a good run tonight.

I’ll be selling the Bartolini pickup if anyone is interested.

"Nice looking Black SG" says the guy with the Black EB!
 
Wow. Missed a few days and lost 25 pages!
Off the top of my head: Scott reviewed one of the new Epi birds, there were shots of Will making a troll, @Lammchop93 just joined with a Greco II that came with a Bartolini, but he put a new Gibson vintage in it right away, jio posted an interview with the bass player in The Who - very cool.
And don't forget the GTG in Seattle this summer!
