Clarky Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) In an an effort to rationalise my collection of basses I am selling my SG Reissue bass. Its in good but not mint nick - has a 1cm ding on rear (not through to wood and obviously not visible from front on), a few minor surface scratches (in the lacquer, again not to wood) and one loose control knob (which I'm sure could be fixed very easily but I haven't been @rsed). I have added a Hipshot bridge (c.£60, had to be imported from US) which improves sustain but have the original still (a five minute job to re-install) and comes with plush Gibson hard case. Looks very cool and my mention of the imperfections above probably makes it sound less good than the reality. In terms of sound, you probably already know that its a very boomy full sound, not hi-fi and certainly not for slapping! Strung with new Rotosound short-scale flats but I also have the Gibson supplied roundwounds too. New cost is c.£850 so would consider offer of £450 (plus post) or £420 w/o Hipshot bridge.

skankdelvar Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Lovely bass - and a bargain! $2079 list US, £900 at Peter Cooks. Tried one - Not at all muddy, plenty of sproing. If I wasn't direly in need of a giggably loud rig, I'd be after it like a shot. Have a bump, Sir, and good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Having fitted the Hipshot bridge to my Epi EB-3, I can vouch for its improvement in sustain, articulation and ease of use. The 3 point bridge is dead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
