And sublimely melodic Charlie Haden playing on "Beyond the Missouri Sky" with Pat Metheny Witness:

Kind of folk jazz from the incomparable Danny Thompson: "Whatever"

This is nice and a third of the price you mentioned in your original post

BTW in time honoured Jack and Clarky BassChat tradition, if you don't get on with the new strings I will trade you for a barely used (as in few months old) set of Slaps (Golden not Silver but identical, colour apart) plus a bit of moolah! 🤣

So long and farewell Silver Slaps, you served us both well

Aha, I did indeed have an SG bass in Kismetik (great memory!) But it was a regular cherry one

Thanks Skank. I have not owned a white SG bass to the best of my recollection ... though to be fair, I may have done and forgotten Lemmy-style (“That was a great time, the summer of '71 – I can't remember it, but I'll never forget it!”)

Rare-as-heck c.2006 TV yellow Gibson SG bass. Arrived today, love it

I agree. I am rarely grabbed by rap but that was an amazing and powerful performance. So much so that I rewound it immediately and watched it again

Mrs C has decided to name it Bob 🤔

Thanks. These are uber hard to find (I have seen one on sale in US and one in Australia in past several years) so I am not going to customise it

No 😘

Back in ~2006, Gibson made a limited run of SG basses in non-standard colours including pastel pink and TV yellow. I have long been a fan of TV yellow (Johnny Thunders, Buzzcocks etc) and so have been on the lookout for one for absolutely ages. This popped up a month or two back on Reverb and, after a decent price cut, I snaffled it. Its in superb 9.9/10 condition, weighs a shoulder-friendly 8.1 pounds, typical SG short scale ... and its minion coloured according to Mrs C 🙄. Great alternative to my 1971 Mustang. One happy bunny!
