robwill54 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Sweet! Where do you guys come up with this stuff? Hard to come by down in Texas. Bet it sounds big, loud, and brawly! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayside Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 Sweet! Where do you guys come up with this stuff? Hard to come by down in Texas. Bet it sounds big' date=' loud, and brawly! Bob[/quote'] Bob, It sounds VERY big...your classic Gibson bass with a perfect mixture of mid range and treble. Very fast neck and it still has a heck of a lot of original saddle left. Where to find instruments like this? You just have to keep on looking...I don't think there's any formula. Lots of folks are more interested in having great quantities of instruments pass through their hands....buy it, try it, move it. I prefer to be a bit more selective. I have only sold one guitar in my lifetime (over 50 years of playing) and know what I am looking for. I don't get distracted by the latest "hot" instrument.

jt Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Somebody needs to volunteer to contact Rich to tell him that nearly 2 years after he posted about his guitar, folks have revived his thread and are still e-talking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
