So cool! Always loved that particular model...one day! They’ve shot up like crazy lately. Hoping they settle back down a bit soon

Seems most Gibsons have gone up in price recently.

You must be fairly tall...those ain’t tiny basses! I’m 6’4”, so in no rush to swap everything over to short scales like so many folks on TB. I get it for folks with arthritis and older folks though

Bidding on that 120 anniversary bird, just in case...2014, right? Do 2013’s and 2014’s stack up pretty well?

Bollocks, I should’ve bid.
Yes! Both years are solid basses. But if you can find a 2015 Gibby bird within $200 of the 2013/14 price go for the 2015 instead. At least that's what I'd do.
Edit: just saw your latest posting. $800 for that bass was a steal! Well played! A 2015 bird would have cost you nearly twice that price.
F'n A bro!!. You are so chosen.

Feeling pretty good about it
At that price, I don’t think I can lose
Big Win for sure.

Seller says it’ll get to UPS tomorrow. We’ll see. Coming from San Diego, so it’s gonna be a minute. Too soon to be dreaming about chrome? 
Nice work! I love the colour of those 2014s - so lovely!

Good stuff -- you have been assimilated. Let the initiation works commence!
First order of business, get that pick holder off the scratchplate. Perhaps one of these for you -- Link Removed
And where are you going to put the chrome?

Oh, I dunno. Gonna look at it for quite awhile before I decide anything. I typically like chrome pickup covers, tailpiece and tuners, but I like the bass a lot the way it is too. Pick holder will be removed ASAP. Maybe a tort pickguard?

Such a dirty mouth!
