I never knew Epi made a non-reverse...Did Gibson really make a NR T-bird in '13? I know Epi made one... did someone install a Gibson tr cover on am Epi here?
Also... they "cleverly" failed to show us the face of the headstock
Damn... it's cool enough to almost be worth it anyway!

Yes.., good points - it appears to be a set-neck - just wasn't aware of Gibson producing one recently. --- Just checked and yes they did - at least that year (I stand corrected)

I believe I recall someone mentioning that they were looking for an EB3...

Pretty reasonable
Actually was slightly less than I expected as there was only a single administrative charge.
Status update - 3:58am EST:
Threat has increased from drool, to "FULL ON GASin'".
I don't even care how big the neck is. I'll chop my fingers off at the first knuckle if I have to.
***Condition: Critical***
Edamame reminds me that Sunday night I had dinner at Umi Sake House in Seattle on the way home from a hockey tournament in Bremerton. Just to bring some bass talk in I stopped in to Mike Lull's shop and the Bass Shop in West Seattle on the way to Bremerton. That orange Lull [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Tbird with darkstar pickups is pretty awesome.
I just posted this in the "First Real Bass" thread and since it is relevant I thought I would post it here.
'76 Bicentennial. I still have it. Still have the bridge and pickup covers. Everything original except the tone pot (which froze) and the strap buttons (Dunlop Strap Locks). I didn't drill a hole at the heel for a new strap button. Neck dives worse than any bass I've ever owned. My main bass for 20 years. I'll never get rid of it, but I don't play it out anymore. I have the one in my avatar for that.

So I want to try to swap out the tone capacitor in my tbird for one that allows more highs and mids through, has anyone done this or have suggestions?
All the Studio models are set-neck.
Great bass! I have one and love it!
Declaration Charge!? Am I incorrect in assuming that Cataldo filled out a customs declaration? Do you have to pay Australian civil servants extra to read?

Yes in 2013 they made 400 of them. It has little in common with a 60's Nonreverse. Not a bad bass but don't expect it to feel or sound like a 60's NR.Did Gibson really make a NR T-bird in '13? I know Epi made one... did someone install a Gibson tr cover on am Epi here?
Yes Carlo filled out a customs declaration, but I also have to fill out an import declaration - so I'm paying them to work out how much to tax me.
Somehow, that just seems worse.
