allighatt0r Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I've just got the strangest craving for a white SG bass (with a black pickguard, obviously). What manufacturers make them? Am i letting my GAS imagination run away with itself? Would i have to get an epiphone refinished? Is this all just some crazy dream!?

Mr. Foxen Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Some southern rock band dude was playing a white SG bass through ChiSeerkind's 70s Ampeg, one of the best bass sounds I've heard, just so right in every way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soloshchenko Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 That looks awesome in that colour. It looks strangely modern in white. Always kind of liked the SG basses myself. What would a decent s/h Gibson set me back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey1-8 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 There was one on eBay a while back that was up for £600. As far as I can remember it didn't sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilLordJuju Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Gibson EB3s came in white in the late seventies... tend to go for significantly more than the walnut/cherries though. I've just got a 1971 EB3L (split headstock) redone in white. Picks to follow hopefully.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
