Used to have a Framus Grand Star archtop guit*r - that had a "parallel fingerboard" too (no taper). Odd. Nicely made instruments, but probaly unfashionable even when they were new.

Already put this one in the "Gibson porn" thread; but here's my '69 EB-2DC and '58 EB-2.

I used to regularly pick up Police radio messages on my first bass / amp rig. Very disconcerting.

VT-40, 18 years old and still going strong, best "compact" head I've used.

Are the Epi pickups chrome or nickel? -
Listeruds are fantastically well-made basses; I had Elros's wenge / maple Totem 7-string a few years back and really miss it Does it have the output jack on a "Strat" mount on the rear cover too? neat idea Bump for a stunning bass -
Been looking for a nice but cheap Les Paul.......

I'm sure there was a thread recently on these. They're cracking basses, I had one new in '79 (as did a certain Mr Sting). Body wings are stained ash, and they had tuned rods in the neck to eliminate dead spots. I think the last one on here went around the £300 mark so for a scruffy one that'd be your baseline, but good ones can go for £800 on the 'bay. Pics are always good!

Thanks guys, some cracking Gibbos on here ( I r[i]eally[/i] want EvilLordJuju's CMT RD Artist! And his non-reverse 'bird :wub: ) Retroman, re the EB-2 mud; the bridge p/up definitely helps add some bite but I was surprised how articulate it is even on neck p/up only - DR roundwounds and some high mids boost on the amp helps!

.......lastly '69 EB-2DC. Very different beast to the '58, a total blues- machine with the deep switch on. Again, no mud; deep, rich and growly, lovely fast neck
-
.......'58 EB2 - shabby but all-original. No mud here (bakelite pup is single coil), a lovely very acoustic sound - awesome to play a bass from the dawn of rock n' roll "Banjo" Kluson tuners interesting but crap.
-
........'85 Explorer: yes it's the most radical, the most flawed, but actually a simple, robust and honest bass that's very nearly as ergonomic to play as the T'bird, and sounds nearly as good too. Lookin' for a ZZ Top tribute band...
-
......'77 RD Artist. Huge heavy bar-room brawler of a bass
