No offense to Gibson, but I personally don't like it very much.
It looks to much like that typical off brand bass.

It seems like design team at Gibson just pulls random ideas out of a hat and then just toss up their hands and say, "That'l work" lets go to lunch!

Of course, that could have been their plan all along, or perhaps they created this bass so that us folks on the RRF would have something to debate!paologregorio wrote:Exactly!IvanMunoz wrote:No offense to Gibson, but I personally don't like it very much.

Henry personally approves every design, actually...cheyenne wrote:It seems like design team at Gibson just pulls random ideas out of a hat and then just toss up their hands and say, "That'l work" lets go to lunch!
Anyway, how many people who say they do not like it actually tried it, played it? Well?

Gibson has reissued the Non-Reverse T-Bird, definately would like to check it out!!woodyng wrote:Ummm,NO.I've only ever been tempted by 3 Gibson bass designs,2 of which are not in production. (Nonreverse tbird,and the eb1.)
The third is the venerable reverse t bird,but even that design,while quite possibly being the coolest looking rock and roll bass ever,is not so great for feel and ergonomics....
This one is just another kind of OK looking bass at boutique pricing....
Even better would be if they reissued the 60's epiphone EMBASSY,WHICH WAS THE BEST TBIRD OF THEM ALL.

Keep an eye on Gibson in November - I bet this thread could turn interesting around that time

While you were at GC, did you see this Halloween Special?
It's approved by Henry and is a preview of their latest design:
