Sometimes it’s easier for our customers to have us do the heavy lifting.
Such was the case with this newest batch of instruments, which came from the home of a retired player. It made more sense for us to consign the instruments, which allows us to showcase these beautiful basses on behalf of the owner. Comprised of mostly five-string basses, each instrument is unique, though they are all in wonderful shape. Most include accessories and hardshell cases.
Like stumbling upon a time capsule, this guitar exemplifies a piece of Gibson’s history. The instrument itself is gorgeous, and sounds as wonderful as it looks! The finish and neck show some checking, though still retains a beautiful shine.
Moreover, the instrument comes with the original case – in great working order, a rarity in of itself – along with pamphlets and brochures from the 1950s cataloging Gibson’s stock during that era.
This is quite a find. It’s rare to have all accessories present and in as good a shape as the instrument. An original capo, pitch pipe, and Gibson string pack are included as well.
We’ve brought you a handy way to find the perfect slide! The next time you drop by, check out the slide display by our accessories wall!
Most players shoot for about a half-size larger than their ring size. The materials – glass, plastic, ceramic, brass, chrome, or stainless steel – can make a dramatic difference in tone. There are bottle slides whose lip will hold the slide on your finger; ring slides so the finger is still useful for play; even flanged slides if you happen to have large knuckles that prevent you from using straight cylinders.
Each slide has a number which corresponds to a packaged slide on our wall, making it easy to find the perfect slide for you. Check out the display the next time you drop by!
