bassballs Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 My first Gibson was a 1968 EB-2 Bass, bought it used in 1976, at that time it was very cheap (everybody wanted a Fender), still using it from time to time.

grampa Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 A Gibson C-0 classical my parents bought for me in the summer of '63. I sold it in '82 to finance my '66 vintage Gibson F-25 which I still have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awel Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 My first Gibson was a Lespaul std bought in 1995, I had just started my first job (and my first salary). I have kept it for 1 week and change it for an ESP M2 Custom because I was really in Metallica music in these times and like I am always saying the LesPaul is my best friend and my worst enemy. I found them so difficult to play! But now that I am definitively in Blues music, I love my LesPaul Custom (but my prefered one is my SG std ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroAussie Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 My first Gibson was a surprise birthday present from wife believe it or not. She bought me a lovelly 95 LP Studio. Unfortunately as I am more into acoustics I didnt really appreciate it as much as I should. For me the defining Gibson 'first purchase' was when I bought my 69 C&W Acoustic in NYC earlier this year which really hit the message home that I now part of the club. Its still the best strummer Ive come across and Ive played a few. Always puts a smile on my face when I look at it :-) I still own both and have no intention of selling.

swampash Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 How do you like the Frontman 212--i have 1 and like it--i also have a twin reverb reissue that rocks It's funny you should mention that amp, I'm actually planning to trade it for Vox Amp this evening. The 212R is a fine amp for clean sounds, patricularly good for my Strat and Tele, but not very good when you're looking for something a bit "dirtier". My Les Paul sounds terrible through it so I bought a Marshall MG100HDFX head and cab which is a great all-rounder. I was so impressed by the Marshall that I wanted something easlier to transport to small band practices so that is why I've decided to trade the 212R for a Vox Valvetronix amp, which like the Marshall, is good at most things clean and dirty. I will in the future be looking to acquire a Fender Tube amp. something like a Hot Rod deville, some day. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 It was in the early '80s (82 I think). It was a 'mid-70s LP Custom in Clownburst. It was awful. I kept it a few weeks thinking I would get the hang of it but it was, unfortunately, one of the Norlin dogs. Rather stupidly I let it put me off for Gibson for many, many years. Even second-hand Les Pauls were ridiculously expensive in the UK and I felt I'd been let down. It was, of course, all my own fault for trusting the name on the headstock rather than my hands and ears. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
