Low End Bee Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Hmm. I quite like this. Apart from the rubbish Ikea knobs that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Dunno what to make of that. Don't like the finish. 3 pickups VVVT + kill switch is an interesting setup. Only 20 frets, boo (although I understand that room has to be made for 3 pickups). No front markers, don't like that. Agreed that the knobs look out of place, especially given that shiny kill switch. Overall no, not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I really haven't been waiting for that. Why can't Gibson make nice basses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd trawl eBay and find an original one in the states being sold by someone who isn't an obstinate, obstructive fool when it comes to posting internationally. When the day comes I can't play mine without sitting down, I'll think about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignsOfDelirium_bassist Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Bass For Gits? That's one ugly bass in my opinion, whatever team designs the new gibson models has clearly gone insane, or gotten their kids to do the work for them...They've released so much crap recently!
