  1. It's weird seeing a Telecaster with a stop tail piece and tune o matic bridge.
  2. No one has mentioned that the backside doesn't seem to be mahogany
  3. do the P100s sound drastically different from the P90s ?
  4. do the P100s sound drastically different from the P90s ?
  5. do I see varitone switches on some of those guitars?
  6. Here is a link to the video I was referring to
  7. I was watching some videos of Les Paul and Mary Ford on youtube and I noticed that the Les Pauls that both of them were playing were peculiar, it looked like the was a master tone and volume knob, the output jack was on the front of the guitar and the bridge pickup on Mary's guitar seemed to have a large space cut out. I was wondering if any of the historians had any info and possibly pictures of these guitars.
  8. pre 1976 Gibson serial numbers are notoriously difficult to date accurately sometimes numbers were even reused until they finally implemented a a serial dating scheme
  9. at first blush, I would date this bass to be somewhere between 65-69 based on what I see with the type of bridge and tuners.
  10. we are going to need more info than that, how about some detailed photos?
  11. is the finish on your bass rootbeer? Yes the RD Artist sounds awesome! it was ahead of its time in the late 70s early 80s.
  12. BTW Tex, I also want to see more pics of your Firebird.
  13. The Rd Artist bass is a very versatile bass, it can go from deep lows to bright and snappy, because of its all maple constuction, it is a bit heavy and the rounded profile neck isn't ideal for snapping and popping, but hey, I am not a popper, I've used her in everything from the garage band to the orchestra. Texas58, you can use a free photo hosting site like flikr or photobucket to host your photos.
  14. The les Paul money bass, is a great bass, especially for the guitar player because of its smaller body size is close to the relative size of a guitar. I find it interesting that you decided your best option was to go Gibson instead of Fender, for the bass, you may not realize that Gibson basses, don't get the love in the bass world that the Fenders or even the Rics do. currently I own 9 basses in which there is 1 Gibson and 2 Epiphones the rest are Fenders or Fender clones but my Gibson (RD Artist) is the center piece of my gear, I have owned this one the longest of any of the others and for nearly 20 years it was my only bass, yes they are very versatile. I believe you need to post some pictures of your bass so we can enjoy it with you, I will start by posting a pic of mine (again)
