EB-6 anyone?
This thing is too cool, the headstock has (6) large tuners.

Gibson made one originally using an EB-2/ES335 body instead of an EB-3/SG body. The one with f-holes is the one that I have secret GAS over. Life and everything is about the f-holes, after all.

After a brief dalliance with the possibility of a 64 TB II, I have bought another bass.
I just could not justify the price being asked for the TB II- given it had a headstock repair. The guy actually wanted more than I paid for my 1956 100% all original P Bass a few years back.
The "new" bass satisfies a Pelham Blue itch and has a pickup set that should be a bit different to my Les Paul, TBird and ES 335 basses. I understand people talk highly of this combination (ceramic in the neck and alnico TB +s in the bridge) in the SG Bass, but I could never come at the short scale. I should have it in a week or so.

A very well cared for (immaculate) 2014 Midtown Signature- in Oz and so no problem with the Rosewood police.

I'll take a few shots of my Gibsons when this one arrives and post them here, if you like.
When you think about it- Gibson produced some really cool basses in the last decade. It is such a tragedy things are where they are now.

I would LOVE to see your Gibson family photo! I'll be looking forward to it!

I'm hoping that we're nearing the dawn of a new day with regards to Gibson *<fingers crossed>*
