they may have been trying to relieve the neckdive caused by the motorized tuners?...I've never seen a solid body guitar that thick. The guitarist told me it weighs 11 pounds. Good thing they chambered it
That would mean a chambered neck.
The amount of chambering reminded me of thisI've never seen a solid body guitar that thick. The guitarist told me it weighs 11 pounds. Good thing they chambered it
I think it is..
No, just don't have much "free time" or disposable bread. IfI sell a piece (old Acoustic bass rig, a Squier bass) I could do it. Trouble is I'm not actually bereft of a bass to play. I just really dig it.@Count Bassie I see that Tbird still at GC in Warwick
Did you give up on it?
I have never understood the word disgruntled. Is the opposite gruntled? If you are happy at work, are you a gruntled employee?
You could search the four corners of the earth for a gruntled employee, which in itself is odd given that the world is round
Flat, round and spins. It is a wonder we haven't all gone flying off the edge of the world.
Oh, I get that. It's their use of quotation marks around "modern" that bugged me. I use them here because I am referencing the word. But for them to use quotes in their ad copy suggests irony, which I don't believe is what they meant to do. Thanks for the images, though; I didn't know the specifics. Cool stuff.
That's how I have long treated the word! And, as it turns out, I wasn't as original in my use of "gruntled" as I thought.

I never knew "dis" originally meant that!
Oh, go get one. They're SO much fun.There's a common theme running through this thread, everyone seems to have had a colonoscopyexcept me
BTW, had mine this A.M., went and ate, came home and crashed. AFAIK, they found nothing. Oh, wait, that was when they x-rayed my head. Seriously, all appears OK.
Holy creepek! That's more than my 5 string Epi Bird.I've never seen a solid body guitar that thick. The guitarist told me it weighs 11 pounds. Good thing they chambered it
It's like Gibson/Epiphone wants me to burn my Thunderbirds...
Their website is useless.
The Pro V came today. It's pretty much in the shape advertised, but...

- Hum/hiss unless I touch the 1/4" plug shield.
- One of the controls doesn't do anything. I suspect it's the bass control.
- Other than the volume, I can't tell what's what./ Of the two other controls that work, I have a guess as to which is the blend and which is treble, but it's just a guess.
- As is, this would be OK for funk. Lots of high end. Definitely lacking in low end.
- The only place I found anything that *might* show the control layout was a Gibson Forum comment with a link to the schematic. Gibson wouldn't let me see it unless I registered. I registered and logged in./. Gibson *still* says I can't see it until I registered. Plus they are clearly using either 1960s COBOL technology or any MS technology ever, because my display name (not the username, I knew better) cannot have an apostrophe in it.
You know. Round like a plate. Not like a ball. That's just crazy talk.
Oh. OK. Had me goin' there fer a minute.
