  • damn, this link didn't work for me on this site, or on another chat board i was just on. but at least i know what you're talking about, someone on the other board posted pics.

    yeah, i'll try those too. could be a perfect direct recording base. specially the bassman


    did you see Gibson released a Melody Maker at namm, retail is less than 400 bucks?? for a gibson??? as long as it kicks Epiphone's ass, i'll probably get one of those.

    the originals were slabs too so it should be a killer unit. Lollar P90's and decent pots away from being awesome. Or humbuckers I guess if that's your bag.

    I definately like that Roland and Fender teamed up. I want to hear both and see how good that tremolo is on that unit.

    The Vox Valvetronix amps have a good bassman model, that's also Roland I believe so this one should be good.

    I'm excited about the BFG I just wish it was a hollowbody. http://www.gibson.com/Products/GibsonElectric/Gibson%20Electric%20Guitars/LesPaul/Les%20Paul%20BFG/ I love that they listened, and gave people a P90 and Grovers along with a Burstbucker. No carved top is a little disapointing but no biggie, those are going to sell like hotcakes. I want the same pickup config in a 335.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    Oh, disapointing then. I saw the pickup config and grovers and got excited. It's probably as much of a let down as the Memphis ES 333's.

    paint and sanding are not that expensive.

    i'd agree that the configuration is interesting, though i'd change it back to conventional LP wiring. i like the P90 obviously.

    it's just ugly.

    those definitely look cool....I'll probably buy one just to use as an overdrive pedal.

    anyone know when they're being released?

    i don't know yet. but i'm thinking that the deluxe reverb one might be an excellent front end for, say, a valve junior. takes care of some reverb and gives you some EQ.

    I really really really wish I could hear a sound sample for the Bassman.
