It would be a fitting tribute. cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 1068 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Sunday, September 04, 2011 - 6:48 am:    The LP Recording from the '70s was low-impedence; one of my all-time favorites! I think the LP Triumph bass was a swell; I also liked them. But, given the quality/accuaracy/price of their recent RI models, I'd rather wait for an original to come up.

Love the sound, and it plays great, but my fifty something back can't hold it up all night for a gig - it is basically a two and a half inch thick slab of mahogany, weighs a ton. I think a reissue of some of these instruments is a great idea. Rick
