Clarky Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) 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!

Cat Burrito Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I too think Johnny Thunders every time I see TV Yellow. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasMooseblaster Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 What a beauty! Must admit, despite normally being a Cherry Red purist when it comes to SGs, that shade of yellow does suit it very nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Tell me, Clarky, if you were to buy a Ferrari, would you be one of those people who insists on buying a banana-yellow one? I ask in a spirit of pure enquiry ... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grenadillabama Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I have a yellow Melody Maker (not glossy). Your bass looks great ! What about a Thunderbird pickup right in the middle ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I always considered transparent red to be the best colour for SG shaped Gibson basses, but having seen this, I've changed my mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
