+1 for the Gibson EB5. As @snorkie635says does really good P/J as it has pull pots to change p/ups to single coil. Ultra lightweight, about 3.5kgs which is stunning for a fiver.  Hugely underrated especially by Gibson Inc.

I’ve thought about one often, as you say they’re not expensive. However having a NS NXT EUB ( that really is too many initials, sorry) I wonder whether I would get any use from an FEB at all?

Aaah, that didn’t last long then. Like you loved the look of them but knew a skinny short scale was not for me either. Someone will love though. 

I wonder why they chose those pickups when the original had 3 lipsticks?

It does kind of look as though someone at Godin looked at the basses they make (a4 & Shifter) and thought “let’s fuse them together”. Or May be someone just raided the parts bin, a factory made bitsa.

I doubt we’ll see many about.

Looks like someone tried to adjust it without removing and have scrunched up the scratch plate slot which typical of Fender is too small to accommodate a truss rod key.

Like @How1i changed to a Badass on a vintage 1976 Precision (sadly long gone), it was a doddle as everything just lined up. It only needed a set up. A screwdriver job.

The really high end stuff and exotics don’t really appeal to me much. However I would really like to try out a Gibson Thunderbird, probably have to be a vintage one and any Rickenbacker but preferably a 4005. I don’t think I want either but a serious go on them would satisfy me, at the moment. Ask me again next week and my answer will probably be different.

Nice. I’ve only ever had one brand new as well.

Saw these guys in Seattle a few years ago. That Ali bass really pumped out a great thump.

Lovely, reminds me of my 76 in the same finish. Shouldn’t have traded it.

I was going to ask the same, we’re you stung for taxes?

There’s a long tradition of political comment in lyrics. W.S. Gilbert was a dab hand at it in his operas.

Everyone boiling strings in water is doing it wrong. You need to boil them in pure isopropyl alcohol. That freshens them up a treat. If you don't have any isopropyl alcohol, petrol is probably just as good, but doesn't taste as good when you drink it after.

Wouldn’t gin work as well, but may be more expensive than buying a new set.

We had a similar offer for a dining table. My wife checked the persons profile and almost immediately they took it down. Never turned up for the table.

RokSak make one but you’d need to check measurements. They’re very reasonably priced.

I know they’re good basses but it gets my vote for the ugliest headstock logo, surely they could have come up with something a little more tasteful.

It looks like a Legend and if so on the reverse of the headstock it will say something like made in Korea under licence fro Stuart Spector Designs Ltd.

I think they are flats but I think he has the tone set to a quite high treble and it does not sound like a dull thump to me .
