daveg Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Les Paul Triumph Bass. Go to the Low Impedance thread. http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/99362-gibson-low-impedance-guitars-club/page__p__1345199__fromsearch__1#entry1345199 DG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grog Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 It has the two post (Tilt-O-Matic) bridge, so that would make it a 1972. They went to a three post bridge in 1973. Nice bass!! It's rare to find one of these without a cracked control plate by the guitar jack........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam in alberta Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 embossed pick up covers also make it about 72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveg Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 embossed pick up covers also make it about 72 Cam, Low impedance Les Paul Pickups were all "embossed" from late sixties through to the late seventies. Anyone with Gibson Low Impedance black un-embossed pickups probably has a Japanese (Ibanez) LPR Copy Pickup - they were not Low Impedance.

daveg Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I forgot to mention that SOME of Les' Custom built pickups for his own Guitars were un-embossed. The white Personal for instance - I think that they were un-embossed. He didn't always use the Gibson made PU's. DG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
