Really? I hadn't heard anything. Interesting.

Actually '10 oclock' seems to be the sweet spot for both character and drive. Would it kill them to put markers around the bloody knobs?

Well if the knobs are bloody, than ya it probably would kill them.

Roni, we have to talk about your beer pouring technique! There's froth there which is taking up beer space.

Sorry Kat, I'm a little embarrassed now that you bring it up............







Nothing to eat all day, two beers and I'm 3 sheets to the wind.

Put the basses away before you trip over something.

My Studio V lost a fight against my amp, my 3 guitar rack is beside my combo amp, I went put my bass down and it hit

As long as the bit which says '10' isn't broken, you're good.

That parts alright. But it doesn't wanna stay on very much.

I think allparts or stewmacs I can get just the one I need for cheap. But thanks, I just haven't gotten that far in my life yet.

WOW!!! Nice job! I like that flash of natural wood around the perimeter!

I think it's RedVee that has a wide necked Goth as well. I'm constantly watching for them online. Every example I see for sale either has the 1.5" nut, or doesn't specify and is hard to tell by the photo. Based on the (possibly inaccurate) info on the Epi website... I'm guessing that, if I bought a brand new Goth, it would have the wider neck. I just have no way of knowing that for sure. I'm not in a position to do anything about it right now anyway... so I'll just keep my eyes peeled & wait for the right opportunity I guess

It's actually the other way round: Older Epi's have necks that are wide at the nut (except the Blackbird which had a 1.5" nut). It's mainly newer Epi's that have a 1.5" nut, although there also appears to be some with wide nuts too (yes I know - poor choice of words ).

For those 'intrigued' by the Traynor heads, there are very few YBA200 video reviews out there, and most don't actually tell you much of anything, or do the amp justice. This is okay, if short:



This YBA300 sounds pretty close to what I have.



The original YBA200s came with 6550s, while the newer model has KT88s.

Thanks for posting @kat888 !

Sunburst? Pic was shot outdoors in fairly bright sunlight. It doesn't look that red indoors.

It looks like the typical burst but the lighting gives it a sweet tint of red, I would love mine to look like that. I would love all of my basses to look like that.

yah, 5-8 is so overrated...

 

[hillerup]

Not speaking from first hand experience but from everything I've read here and other places...

The Gibby and eppi three point bridges are interchangeable with the exception that the Asian made basses use metric stud anchors in the body along with corresponding metric bolts and the USA ones don't. But supposedly the two actual bridges are interchangeable.

So if I understand it correctly, if you have an Asian made Eppi and for some reason wanted to use a USA bridge on it you could as long as you still used your Eppi studs. If you wanted to use the USA studs you'd also need to replace the metric stud anchors in the body.

Besides the metric thing, I think the only other differences in the two bridges is that some of the Eppi ones have a shoulder on the anchor that rises slightly above the body, whereas the USA anchors are flush with the body. Depending upon how low you like your action that might or might not be a problem.

Again, no experience on this issue, just parroting what I've heard. I'm sure others will chime in with confirmations or corrections.

That pretty much nails it...

 

[BklynKen]

And I would have thought it'd be the other way around.

You mean because the bridge is so chunky? It’s probably comparable to the standard 3-point because the 3-point is raised.

The markers must drive up cost. I don't recall seeing them on many pedals.

Come to think of it, they "forgot" to put markers (and numbers) on my P and J basses, as well as on my Tele!

The head is still beer!

Buy a Panasonic LX-5. Makes everything look good.
