Grog Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Nice Bass! I see you have the second version with the two mini toggles for the expansion & compression mode. Mine is all in working order, I really don't play it often enough, it's possibly my heaviest bass. I have one NOS Moog circuit board I picked up on ebay a while back for future repairs. My Les Paul Triumph has been my main bass for quite a while. I'l post a photo of the matching guitar, same year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungimsam Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 You even matched the RD Artist bass and guitar to the year. Where are you finding these things? The '69 EB3 is my favorite in your collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been wanting to find a matching guitar for years, I purchased the GOTW but I traded it for a Pbass. I never did bond with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the bass at a local guitar shop. Shortly after that, a friend found the guitar in the thrifty section of the classifieds for $450.00! I didn't even dicker with the guy. That was one of the better bargins I ever had a chance to buy! Even for over ten years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised to see that Gibson reissued that in the first place, I never saw one in person. Over the years, I've had two chances to buy a RD Artist CMT. Looking back on it, I wish I had bought one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaolee Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Well, I finally broke the Gibson habit and bought a P-Bass. It's going to be interesting to see whether it displaces the 'Bird or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliott5 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Not all GIBSON's , but at least there is one! I am really enjoying the thunderbird and it gets regular service. It punches the SVT3 Pro along nicely. The double is a Cremoana. It plays really well and is set up fine for me. It has a great sound, very good for the dollars!

MrNylon Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Love to have an SG Std. Bass with a maple fretboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungimsam Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I don't think I ever saw a maple fboard on any Gibson guitar or bass. If that's true, I wonder why Gibson never did maple? Every SG shaped guitar I've seen had rosewood or ebony. Hard to picture maple. Why maple? I've heard they are brighter. But I bet I couldn't hear the diff.

MrNylon Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I just like the feel of it. To me, it feels quicker. A harder surface, I feel like I don't press as hard, and Nylon D'Addario sound great on it. Like my fingers rebound faster. They probably don't, I just like Maple. Good enough for Hendrix. As soon as you get your SG, PICS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
