    i wish... its not actually that blue in person.every pic of it ive seen makes it look alot brighter than it actually is.its realy quite a subtle blue.and the silver in the middle is not that defined.

    Hahaha

    I wouldn't be caught dead carrying that thing around let alone playing it! :D
    Feckin' ridiculious case!

    Granted, my 80's Aria Pro II bass has the logo on the case but its in an understated way which looks nice. It draws a few looks too. I've caught a few people twisting their head around on the DART trying to read it. Hahahaha :D:p

    Thats ridiculous money for a Gibson.

    You could have gotten a much nicer guitar that just stayed in tune, ever heard of locking tuners? :D

    Personally I've never heard of locking tuners that can transpose your guitar into different tunings (and tune the guitar) :cool:

    The guy got a new guitar, and I'm sure he's very happy about it, so it's pretty low knocking a new purchase. Really no need to be jerks about it, and locking tuners aren't the same thing, so why not just be happy for him instead of the begrudging?

    Nice purchase Kev, I hope she plays great. ;)

    Good luck with it. LP's are lovely to look at and sound beautiful especially the Peter Green bluesy type tones which i love but unfortunately for me are too damn heavy :( so i've settled on a 335 style guitar which i love.

    yeah i agree about the weight.luckily they've managed to cut down on the weight of the Robot and it is actually comfortable enough.id even say its lighter than my '72 Telecaster Custom.

    I've been playing the P too much. I haven't even changed to set up since it came out of the box. I pick it up with good intentions but then I start playing stuff and a few hours later I've forgotten what I was going to do in the first place. It's a dangerous, dangerous bass :mad:
