Looks to be in VGC. Just make sure the neck is straight - no tr. (twin steel bars) If the neck is straight it's a cool bass. Finding a HSC (other than original) that it fits in is a problem, but it fits in a long gig-bag... just.

Any water getting close to home Geoff?

Ny house is pretty well situated so I’m pretty good.
But this is maybe 10 minutes away, one area to the south west.

That's a knockout. Who did the paint?

2000 Gibson USA Ltd Ed., Sapphire Blue. Built in Nashville.

Factory paint. No kidding! It is beautiful.

Hey Willie, I followed one that looked pretty much like that yesterday.
A Fairlane 500 coupe in really clean condition.
It was very odd following a car with the driver on the left and the only passenger in the centre of the front seat.

Finally got the “craft room” set up and cut some vinyl.

The Woodstock on the lamp is the weeded parts of the vinyl I stuck on there.

My wife and I drew Thunderwoodstock based on an image Willie sent over.

G’day, I don’t suppose you have a template to do the Celtic Cross that the Epi Goth uses?

If @Engle needs one let me know, I can snap a clean picture of mine and add dimensions if needed.

Thanks George.
Mine is almost scratched off my the previous owner. I’ve ummed and arhed about removing it or getting a new pickguard, but I think I’d like the proper looking sticker.

Done, see below. Let me know if you’re potentially ordering a pickguard with the sticker or just the sticker. If you think you’ll get it with the pickguard I can provide @Engle with the sticker location information as well, otherwise I’ll just provide a pic and sticker dimensions.

the Celtic cross is 1.650” across, from flat to flat on the cross.

Now that we’re talking Eppi Goths - if anybody out there has a working set of Goth pickups they’d like to sell, I might be interested in buying them.

Just the sticker I think. Maybe a couple.

stay safe -

I agree and think that is a bigger aspect than would like to ever be admitted. According to my Doc that was true of Prince and possibly Tom Petty(?). I know he said Prince had meds that were actually counterfeit and came from an undocumented pharmacist. He named someone else and it may have been TP.

Per an NPR piece a few weeks ago, most of what comes from illegitimate sources is Fentanyl sold as other narcotics. That is the current cause of the OD epidemic right now.

So what now. Is that Goth of yours going to have Four pickups?

Hey Geoff, looks like George has provided a clean image. I’ll load it up and do a sample on matte black.

It’s a huge problem that affects far more people than we realize.

That’s kinda the plan. Either I buy a beat up Goth for under $200 and add the two spare pups I already have or I buy two spare pups and a fresh $100 NR body blank to mate up with a spare neck and hardware I already have. Either way, it’ll be a four pup beast. I might even wire it up to a stereo jack with two of the pups on the left channel and two on the right. The reason for the Goth pups is that I already know the secret sauce for tone on those, it’s all about ripping out the stock .068 tone cap and replacing it with a .022 cap (night and day difference).

So the Epi Goth pickups are different than the Epi bolt on pickups?
