Les Paul Signature Bass - A Semi-Hollow Bass
Here's a picture of my Father-in-Law's bass. I don't think I'd ever seen a semi-hollow bass before, but I haven't really paid much attention to basses (or guitars either until just a few years ago! Don't hate me for saying that!). He probably bought it new, or at least only a few years old. He played in a country western bar band for many years. He passes away two years ago tomorrow and I don't think I'd ever SEEN the bass up close until last year. I know I hadn't seen it since I started playing guitar 3 years ago. My Mother-in-Law is thinking of selling it and it seems they bring over $3000 generally. They were made between 1973 and 79 or so from what I can find. The tobacco burst or whatever they call it now was only made one year I think.

This is my '73 Gibson LP Signature. They're very versatile with some unusual electronics. Below it is an Epiphone version I used to have.
Epiphone used to make a re-issue and it also was an exceptionally nice guitar. I kind of regret selling it. Epiphone is currently offering what they call a Jack Cassidy bass which is basically the LP Signature. A few friends have them and they are very nice, well made, and sound great.

Cool. Pamky I was gonna say that looks like a Jack Cassidy, thanks for the additional info.

The hollow bodied ones are the same style as the bass Retro Hound was describing. In this pic the gold one is a Gibson and the burst was an Epiphone
