Apparently, it is the the stock nut! Trogly has done a review of that bass at the beginning of the year and raised the issue very quickly

Hello there, Gibson lovers I just got my hand on a 2007 GOTW blue Money bass. Weird instrument but sounds killer! My concern is the trussrod nut. It’s definitely not the usual trussrod with the brass nut but more like dual action with a Allen key nut (Fender kind). The nut is very thin and long and is taking a lot of space in the cavity. The tool is not provided but it seems I’m looking for a short arm Allen and yet I can’t really figure the exact size. Does anyone know what I’m looking for and where to find it. thanks in advance on your help Thomas

Hi there, Gibson lovers just got my hand on a 76 black Gibson Ripper. Just love it, issue is, I don’t have the original case and I’m looking for alternatives to all the « eaten by rats » crappy and over priced cases you can find here and there. An urban legend tells that the Epi J Casady case is an option. True or false? Never been able to find a concrete answer… any other thoughts? thanks in advance on your help Thomas

Thanks for the answers! Those TB+ are very, very dark and pretty muddy on the E string. I’m looking for something to lighten up that bass. Are there some replacements « drop in » pickups available on the market apart from Bartolini? Cheer’s!

Those basses were made in Memphis in between 2013 and 2014 From what I could gather here an there, there were 2 kinds of finish in the range, studio (only ebony, unbound) and « Custom » (Faded cherry and vintage sunburst, bound body and neck). I also checked on the pickups: they are humbuckers same size as a regular PAF but the back is all gooped with a black « thing ». Nothing to learn there. Anything else anyone?

Hey! thanks for your answer! I already read the Audiofanzine but it brings more questions than answers especially on where it was built. Custom Shop? Really? So it is a Nashville built then (?). But… I watched a video on the Gibson Memphis booth at Namm 13. They are showing a bunch of ES 335 bass at the end but they are different, not the same pickups positions and no binding on the fretboard… confusing. is it possible that there were two takes of the same model the same year?

Hi there! Just got my hand on a 2013 ES335 Bass, I’m looking for some infos and specs on the model. Anyone know where it was made? I’d have guessed Memphis but the inner label and the pink plush in the case looks like very Nashville to me? What type of pickups? Factory strings gauge? … anything you know on this model will be helpful cheers Thomas

I there Gibson fans! happy new year! I just a bought a new ES 335 Dot Satin from 2019 and I’m a little bit confused with the pickups/electronics. it seems they have swapped in 2020 from Memphis Historic Specs pickups and electronic to Calibrated T-Type pickups and “more conventional” harness (I guess...) Is somebody here able to help me identify the pickup in photo? thanks in advance for your help! Thomas

Hi Thomas here from France! hope you’re all well in this crazy situation... I recently bought a nice 2009 Firebird, I definitely love it! I cannot find many info on it so I’m having two questions for you connoisseurs: I read here and there that the pickups are not Alinco but ceramic, true or false? Love the look of the banjo tuners, still they are indeed really veeeeeery heavy... I saw that Kulson has launch some reissues in 2015, would they be lighter than mine? Thanks in advance on your answers and don’t forget to Laissez les bons temps rouler! Thomas
