Default Rare Blueboy - SG reissue bass

http://cgi.ebay.com/2006-Gibson-SG-Bass ... dZViewItem

This was the best color of the Japanese custom run, in my opinion. if any of these custom SG's are going up in value, I would believe these would as they were originally Japan market only.

Great price!

I can't put my finger on it, but something about that particular shade on an SG rubs me the wrong way.

You have to be Man enough to have a pastel color bass.

Very Miami Vice or 50's looking.

Default bluey

ah ha! i'm the first (and hopefully only) bidder. I've got to say I love this colour (and the yellow, but not the pink)

I hope I get it!

I second you Jules. I like the blue and yellow one. The pink is a bit way too Barbie for me. Hope you get it. If I did'nt order and get the ebony one once released I'd have purchased the white one. The white ones are goodies.

Default Bluey

I won bluey, and theres another listed already. I was close to hitting BIN - glad I held out, $799 is a great price as far as I am concerned! And if the dollar had't picked up a bit it would have been better still.

:D :D :D

My newest bass by decades!

Glad you got it. The seller has been around for years, I remember his ads in Vintage Guitar magazine before the Web and eBay got going. Somehow he has a sideways deal with an authorized Gibson dealer since he's offering new Gibsons as "mint unplayed."
