Nice. Who knew the Tbird Club could reach such heights of surreality?

Hey All,
Please check this out, it's the definitive book about Gibson basses put together by Rob (Bassvarken), he's a longtime buddy from L.B.O. and The Dudepit as well as TB. Many of the pictures are of basses from Uwe Hornung's incredible collection of Gibson bass guitars. Let him know what you think and consider buying a great book!

The three point bridge SUCKS.
iTs die cast.
It has limired adjustability as it torsional on those three points.

Yes I saw that yesterday, I wouldn't mind a copy, I'll rephrease that, I'm going to buy a copy; it,s always nice to have a nice coffee table book on something your interested in. I hope he does well with it, in a very specialised market of Fender fanbois that seem to run wild with gay abandon it will be hard going
Die cast is bad? What of the Leo Quan Badass bridge or the newer Hipshot Kickass, they're both die cast too; shame they're made to fit on those Fender things
It looks like Gibson is back to making basses. Nothing on TBirds but heres a thread about the new incredibly generic looking EB
2017 Gibson EB redesign

It obviously isn't going to neck dive so the Fender fans are kicking it for everything else
Lol "Generic". Like a 7ender isnt
Their service was good- one of the first pair they sent me was DOA they replaced it without much argument.
None of those band names ring any bells, but that's not to say I don't know him. I graduated from East in '98, so he may have been older. Attended college in Nashville, and I didn't maintain a connection with the Lincoln scene after I left. Either way, I was happy to see a reference to Lincoln and Dietze Music.

Yes, it is amusing to read.
Some of those guys seem to have a set of standard responses saved which they cut and paste in when they see a Gibson bass thread.
Off topic:
Any vinyl fans in here? I'm talking records not fetish wear!
It's always been my medium of listening to music, I only bought my first CD player about 4 years ago to save changing sides whill cooking or helping the missus with the houswork

Same people probably rave about the wonders of the high end Fender Jazz clones.
You know, it's bloody sad reading, it's like a paranoia that there may be another world out there. God alone knows what they'd make of Nicky Wire or @TBird1958 , there'd be white hoods and burning crosses
You posted this while I was writing the above, it's got parallels to racism hasn't it

I'm always amused when I see a NBD post in which somebody is gushing over their new...
...Precision.
Really??
I mean, they play fine and they sound fine, but honestly, does it get any more pedestrian than a Precision?
Fretboard is glued for my tigerbird neck! Now i gotta wait until the day off i get to do more work in one day such as trimming excess fretboard & neck wood, planning board down to about 5-7 mm, cutting fret slots & radius'ing down to 9.5" (yup Enemy territory 
), Cutting leftover excess & cutting out headstock. Already all that is a lot of work, so another day afterwards: Neck heel & headstock taper traced & shaped, neck profile will start to take shape as well (i think i'll go for a cross between a C & a D profile). Only things left will be headstock details & tuning key holes drilled & mounted.
I'll be sure to have pictures up of the progress!
