zombiebear Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 It's been a while since i've been on here, but i wanted to ask you guys about something. I have been offered this bass in a trade. I have been researching some stuff, and i can't find much info on basses. I am having a hard time believe it is what he is saying. He claims to have a 1967 Gibson SG bass. Here is the catch, it was "refinished" and the logo never put back on. Just curious as to if this is even real. Heads up. Pictures will be posted later, i can't upload to photobucket, and tinypic won't give me link codes Thanks.

Dub-T-123 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 That really looks fake to me. It doesn't look like any SG bass I've ever seen. Also the truss rod cover should have 2 screws. I'd advise you steer clear of this one. Very fishy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swleary Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Dub is right about the truss cover, stay very clear of it. I did some research of my own ,on the 1967 SG ...it does have two screws in the truss cover.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swleary Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I was shocked at the prices they go for.....under $1000 for a 67 bass...I was surely shocked...thought they would go for a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Yeah they don't go for much and they're sweet. The tone is a bit muddy compared to a Fender bass though. They have a Gibson eb-1 at GC Hollywood that's pretty cool. If you don't know what an eb-1 is it's Gibson's violin bass. Sort of like a Hofner but uglier. Naturally it's super overpriced at the GC. You can get one for like $500. Jack Bruce plays an eb-1 on the Cream Royal Albert Hall reunion concert. The SG version is way sexier though. If you really want one look online. They're pretty cheap. A vintage one is cheaper than a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Looks like a crude attempt to make the TRC bell shaped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
